LEGENDARY AMERICAN SOUND FOR 80 YEARS
In 1946, Paul W. Klipsch began handcrafting speakers in a tin shed in Hope, Arkansas to create a sound that was bigger, clearer, and more alive than anyone thought possible. He established acoustic principles that pioneered American hi-fi and shook the foundations of music itself. His horn-loaded loudspeaker designs became legends, and his vision turned Klipsch into one of the most coveted brands in audio history. After 80 years, those same principles still drive us today. From the maverick mind of a small-town genius to the global stage, Klipsch has never forgotten its purpose: to deliver the power, detail, and emotion of the live music experience. Designed and engineered in the USA, and embodying the spirit of American ingenuity, Klipsch integrates the latest acoustic technology into every product we make. No bullshit.

"The secret to product quality wasn't the fact that it was a corner horn speaker, but that it was, well, a high-quality product all the way through."
