About Klipsch
Klipsch Audio Technologies was founded in 1946 by Paul W. Klipsch in Hope, Arkansas, where the Heritage Series of horn-loaded speakers is still hand-built to order today — one of the longest-running audiophile loudspeaker brands in the world and a genuine American manufacturing story.
Paul Klipsch and the Horn-Loaded Speaker
Paul Wilbur Klipsch founded his company in 1946 in a tin shed in Hope, Arkansas, driven by the conviction that the speakers available at the time were fundamentally inefficient. His solution was the Klipschorn — a folded horn speaker that uses the corner of a room as part of the acoustic pathway, achieving an efficiency of 105 dB per watt that allowed the low-powered tube amplifiers of the era to fill a room with convincing volume and dynamics.
The Klipschorn design is still in production today, largely unchanged from Klipsch's original 1946 design. The fact that a speaker design created over 75 years ago in a tin shed in Arkansas remains competitive with modern audiophile loudspeakers is a testament to the engineering insight that went into the original. Paul Klipsch was awarded over 20 patents in his lifetime and received honorary doctorates from multiple universities for his contributions to acoustical engineering.
Heritage Series: Hand-Built in Hope, Arkansas
The Heritage Series — comprising the Klipschorn, La Scala, Cornwall, Forte, and Heresy — represents Klipsch's commitment to American manufacturing and to the horn-loaded speaker technology that Paul Klipsch pioneered. Every Heritage speaker is hand-built to order in Hope, Arkansas, at the facility that has operated continuously since the company's founding.
The Heresy was introduced in 1957 as a compact alternative to the corner-loading Klipschorn, designed to work as a center channel in a three-speaker system. The current Heresy IV uses updated crossover components and driver technology while maintaining the original horn-loaded architecture and furniture-grade wood cabinet construction. The rear port added in the Heresy IV generation improves bass extension compared to earlier versions without requiring the room-corner placement of the Klipschorn.
