    Unhappy farewell to Paul W. Klipsch

    I just went to check the Klipsch forum and found out that the founder of Klipsch passed away on the 5th. Go to www.klipsch.com to learn more.

    He will be greatly remembered as one of the biggest Audio founders of all time.

    I didn't even know he was that old. My mother met him back in to late 70's when she used to work in hi-fi. From what I've read in the past, he really was quite a legend in audio. He did some really revolutionary stuff. It's too bad he had to go.

    I hope this isn't too morbid, but maybe Klipsch would have some sort of sale/price cut in his honor. Then I could afford a pair of Klipsch Promedia 5.1s.
