Klipsch Museum of Audio History Tour, Part 4 of 4

In 1948, Paul W. Klipsch acquired his first factory building, formerly the telephone exchange building for the Southwest Proving Grounds in Hope, Arkansas. The first Klipschorn built here is numbered 121. Today, the original factory is the Klipsch Museum. Jim Hunter, a long time Klipsch employee, walks us through the museum, part 4 of 4.

I really appreciate this series. Thank you for taking all the time and trouble. I'm a big fan of vintage audio equipment.

The best 30 minutes I've spent in a long time! Fantastic Series! I started building speaker cabinets in 1980 at the age of 14 with my Grandfather...I'm now 45 years old and am preparing to obtain my very first pair of Klipsch speakers - a set of Cornwall series 1's. The mighty Klipschorn blew me away in 1985 and I've never been able to shake that from my memory. You experience Klipsch one time and you never forget. Thanks, Eric

Beautiful! This year I made two La Scala's with original components and they are superb. I love to see this video-tour of Paul's work. I really am a fan of Klipsch, altough I am only 28 years. Thank you, Jim Hunter.
