[QUOTE="Agaton Sax, post: 92334, member: 2475"] I must confess that I cannot understand what all the sadness is about. Paul Klipsch sold the company he created in 2000 to his nephew Fred Klipsch. He was/is neither audio engineer nor audiophile. He is famous for a chain of hardware stores in Indiana to where he moved much of the Klipsch organisation from the iconic Hope,Arkansas site. Under his stewardship Klipsch introduced such lovelies as Chinese made plastic computer speakers and really rubbish lifestyle systems.They also bought-and killed- the much loved Aragon line of high end electronics and steered Jamo from a company with no identity (but good product) to one with even less even less identity . Any greatness the company has shown in the last decade was thanks to its brilliant designer Roy Delgado. A hired gun.The flagship Palladium series shows much of his thinking with industrial design by BMW. Not much Klipsch in there! So why the tears as the company change from one disinterested owner to another? [/QUOTE]
