Paducah Home Theater / PHT TV - Ep. 20 Klipschorn History
Trey phones in a friend to help give the best and most expansive history on the speaker that started it all. Jim Hunter, Klipsch Museum curator and long term Klipsch employee, tells us all about where the Klipschorn came from, where it has been, and how it came to be what it is today. Enjoy and please click that subscribe button. Also, be sure to jump on the Klipsch Pictorial History book (link below) as soon as it becomes available. All proceeds from this book, as well as proceeds from the the newly listed poster and shirt go to supporting your Klipsch Museum. At the time of posting this video, they are not yet in stock but, keep an eye on the page as all of these items will be coming soon!
