“If you were asked to name the single person who exerted a formative influence on the top loudspeaker engineers at JBL, Electro-Voice, Frazier, and literally dozens of other top manufacturers, that person would have to be Paul Klipsch. Fellow of the IEEE, AES, and ASA, recipient of the AES Silver Medal for innovative contributions to loudspeaker design and studies of acoustic distortion, inductee into the Audio Hall of Fame and the Engineering and Science Hall of Fame, Paul was a man whose work is unforgettable. But to those who knew the man, his work is no more unforgettable than Paul himself. The authors of this first biography of Paul Klipsch are music lovers and audiophiles whom the man and his work have long inspired. Their goal in writing this book seems to have been to introduce Paul’s essence to those who never had the privilege of knowing him.” - audioXpress
