2002 doesn't look like a good year for the "Giants" of audio history. First Henry Kloss and now Paul Klipsch. Both will be missed and fondly remembered by many people. I know that i've owned and enjoyed products from both of these geniuses. Hopefully, their families and friends are taking it well. May God Bless us All and comfort those that need it most.... Sean

I've always regarded Paul as such a genius in his own right, yet the guy was such a down-to-earth human good-ole' boy. When you talk with him in person / face to face, he's not the least bit arrogant or above-board, he typically acted pretty much like any one of us. When I first met him I didn't feel at all intimidated, although I really didn't know much about this hobby, especially at that level.
It was my first audition of PWK's legendary k-horn speaker that so strongly attracted me into the audiophile lifestyle - thank heavens for Mr. Klipsch & all of his primal contributions along the way.
