Klipschorn
The corner loudspeaker that uses the walls of the room as part of the horn.
Paul Klipsch was an engineer who built loudspeakers in a tin shed in Arkansas. His corner speaker was a horn: the sound is led through an ever-widening channel, and the room’s two walls and floor become an extension of it.
The horn makes the speaker very efficient, so that a few watts are enough to fill a room. The Klipschorn is one of the loudspeakers made longest in unchanged form.
Materials: Plywood, horns for treble and midrange, bass driver
Manufacture: Made by Klipsch in Hope, Arkansas, from 1946 and still in production.
