corner "Yes, of course, Paul!"
** ROTFLMAO !!
I really hope that anecdote is TRUE !!!
Well, I first heard it from Ken Kessler - so it most definitely is not.
But sorry to whoever made it up, I have missed an important detail,
Paul Klipsch formed his hands to a horn when he spoke, naturally.
** I met a young guy once who had a pair of Klipsch La Scalas
( rated at 104dB/W/m ) in his bedroom at his parent's home.

Sitting on the floor next to them was a Bose 1801 amp.
**Puke. Horrible speakers, driven by a horrible amplifier. back when I
was service manager for Auriema (later, Marantz Australia), I set up a
pair of La Scalas in the warehouse truck bay and pointed them at the
(quite noisy) factory accross the road. I connected them a Marantz 140
power amp (75 Watts/channel) and played music. The people in the factory
complained about the noise!
