PWK the Music Lover

Daily Photo

As most of you are aware, this company was founded on a desire by this man to listen to a live orchestra in his living room.   With that desire came folded-horn technology and its implementation in the Klipschorn, shown here in the corner. 

Paul appears to be demonstrating the Khorn with music from Don Gillis, along with some interesting looking equipment to the side.  The display behind him shows the cover of High Fidelity Magazine, with a flyer titled "How to get Best Results from a Klipschorn."

You probably cannot tell from the small size photo posted here, but his tie is covered with a staff and musical notes in each circle.  His way of saying "Have a Nice Day."

Cool photo.  

I'm kind of surprised we don't see a reel to reel deck?  

Though I suppose for demos he often used the more standard turntable and album?  

What date is this photo from?  Would it be 1951 around the time of the High Fidelity article?  community.klipsch.com/.../40539.aspx

So very cool! You can see his trusty Brook 12A 2A3 PP amp and preamp. Been looking for a pair. Mighty rare.

Amy if you happen to see any documentation about schematic changes to the Brook 12A specifically for Khorn owners we would be very interested. It is mentioned in other audio circles but no one knows what the change was.

THANKS AMY

Love the picture Amy!

Cool to see the Brook equipment and check out the car seat built on a wooden frame.
