The legacy continues
Our founding visionary and madman, Paul W. Klipsch, set out to bring all the detail and emotion of a live concert hall to homes across the globe back in 1946 with the creation of the Klipschorn speaker. Nearly 80 years later, Klipsch Heritage speakers are still being hand built in his original factory in Hope, Arkansas.

Four Core Principles
Our founder, Paul W. Klipsch identified four core principles that would be the foundation for his audio designs, principles we still proudly infuse into every Klipsch product.
High efficiency
Perhaps the most important principle – Klipsch’s Law: Efficiency is inversely proportional to distortion. This means that the more efficient a speaker is, the less distortion it produces. Distortion is the introduction of unwanted sound that is not present in the original recording. Klipsch technology is highly efficient – providing more accurate audio and requiring less amplifier power. The result is louder, clearer, distortion-free sound.
Controlled directivity
Klipsch technology accurately focuses sound to the desired location, while reducing acoustic energy and amplifier power where sound is not needed or desired. This helps minimize room reflections, creates a more lifelike soundstage in the listening area, and contributes to greater impact and lower distortion for movie and music playback.
Wide Dynamic Range
The softest sounds are reproduced with remarkable clarity and sensitivity, while the loudest sounds are delivered with maximum life-like impact – without fatigue or distortion. Klipsch technology ensures the greatest possible range between the softest and loudest audio levels.
Flat Frequency Response
Music and movie soundtracks are reproduced objectively, without bias for specific frequencies or tonal ranges. Recorded sound is delivered as the artist intended, as accurately as possible - with spectral balance ensuring natural audio reproduction.
