Ho-Hum, Another Major Breakthrough
From the classic 1970s brochure...still relevant after 30+ years? You decide. Oh No! Not again! Yes, it seems that every year someone "re-invents" one of the discarded speakers designs of the past. Or they purort it to modify the laws of physics...

Professor Demo
I found this in a 1996 Klipsch Korner dealer newsletter, and I'm pretty sure Mr. VP of Product Development will be none too happy with me today. But that's ok. I'm livin' on the edge. I'll just blame it on my cold medicine.

Vintage Rebel Brochure
From 1954 . "For fine sound reproduction." The fancy photoshopped background is mine, from today.

Tag Line Contest - Win A Klipsch Prize!
I have been scrambling my brain trying to decipher the logic behind this ad image, which appears to be an upside-down Klipsch phono cartridge hatchling. Anyone want to take a crack at a tagline? Keep it eggistential.

A Banner Year
About a year and half ago, I posted a picture taken of Klipsch Employees circa 1975. This was taken a mere one year later, and you can see the head count nearly doubled. I'm not sure what attributed to the surge... either business more than doubled...

The More Things Change...
...the more they stay the same. I found this Belle Klipsch ad photo today in our archives, and it immediately brought to mind a photo taken just last year for Mirage . I love the similar theme...that music is meant to be shared and enjoyed, and how it...

Home of the Klipschorn
I blogged a while back about two vintage "Klipsch & Associates" signs that were uncovered at the plant in Hope ( here and here ). They have since been retouched, framed, and hung with pride at our engineering facility in Indianapolis, serving...

The World Keeps Getting Smaller
This vintage ad circulated around the same time I was learning to walk and eat solid foods. I'm posting it today not only because it's cool, but because I happened to virtually bump into one of the men responsible for its creation. I know many...

Slug Bug!
I really like something about this photograph of the plant in Hope, but can't quite put my finger on it. "Genuine" is a word that comes to mind. Or maybe I'm simply remembering the bright red VW Beetle I had in high school, and how fun...

The Legend of the Glass Klipschorn
Once upon a time in the early 70’s, a Plexiglas artist paid a visit Klipsch, deciding this would be a great project. The president of the company at the time, along with the artist and some help in the cabinet shop by the Khorn builder, spent over...

PWK - Pre-"The Feminine Mystique"
From the Pine Bluff Commercial , Wed, April 12, 1961. I love the use of Barbie to help explain the oh-so complicated positioning issue to the fairer sex. My favorite quote in the article: "He (PWK) warned against the temptation of getting too close...

PWK: Used Both Sides of His Brain
Although I cannot divulge the contents of the folder (translation: Hunter did not let me open it), I can share this PWK-scribbling on the cover featuring what looks to be an early logo prototype ...which, it turns out, was likely created by the man himself...
