Audio pioneer and company founder
Paul W. Klipsch launched the Klipschorn loudspeaker in 1946 to enable people,
for the first time ever, to experience the power, detail and emotion of a live
performance at home. Commonly called a corner-horn speaker, the remarkably
uncommon Klipschorn includes a highly efficient horn loaded tweeter and midrange
compression driver. Its patented folded-horn 15" woofer delivers powerful
low frequencies.
Considered a watershed industry
event, the introduction of the Klipschorn set the standard for high sensitivity,
wide dynamic range, low distortion, and smooth frequency response. These
principles, which drive the creation of every single Klipsch loudspeaker, are
what make the Klipschorn as sought after today as it was decades ago.
As the only speaker in the world to
be in continuous production for 60 years, the Klipschorn has remained relatively
unchanged since its inception. In 2005, the company made some minor cosmetic and
functional revisions to this legendary speaker, including the elimination of the
inset collar, or spacer, between the upper and lower cabinets for a cleaner
aesthetic appearance. A horizontal wall seal was added to improve the low
frequency horn's response accuracy.
Available in a cherry, walnut or
black ash wood veneer finish, the Klipschorn reflects a level of high-quality
workmanship that will never go out of style.
