Unsatisfied with the sound quality of phonographs and early speaker systems, Klipsch used scientific principles to develop a corner horn speaker that sounded more lifelike than its predecessors. The Klipschorn, which today is still manufactured and sold worldwide, proved that it was possible to reproduce the sound of a live orchestra inside a home. The resulting acoustics career of Klipsch spanned from 1946, when he founded one of the first U.S. loudspeaker companies, to 2000 when the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society published one of his papers. He died on May 5, 2002 at the age of 98.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51321770049824,"sku":"NEW1582442266","price":180.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91zXw_xezIL.jpg?v=1773101615","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/paul-wilbur-klipsch-the-lifethe-legend-1582442266","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
