I made a visit to Klipsch Factory in Summer 1986. Got to spend a couple of hours with him - factory tour, visit to his home driven by him in his classic Mercedes-Benz. I was amused by his his literally rolling over the stop signs, but then I don't think anyone would have stopped him. :-) Left with a set of his papers and a signed wooden piece that was replaced by a woofer. I remember him talking about Mendelssohn's 5th Symphony - The Reformation. I regret not remembering his comments. A truly great engineer and a true innovator in speaker design and production.
I just bought some R15PM's they are (to me) they are unbelievable sound quality, and they are towards the cheaper end. I can't imagine what the top end stuff must sound like..
What a bout good PV and EV and other great PA speakers ? One thing they do not till you his speak just PA speakers. On here all you hear about is high price speakers yes over price.
What a incredible life this man had. Anyone who loves trains and audio equipment ranks high on my list

And there were giants on the earth...a giant in any sense..a genius a revolutionary without any compromise!
