A Klipschorn provides a detailed wall of sound that emanates from the corner of a room. Klipsch’s four principles of sound reproduction are: efficiency, flat frequency response, controlled directivity, and dynamic range. The base horn design has never been improved-it was perfect from day one.

(Without this, a low-frequency horn would be the size of a full room.) In 1946, the first 20 Klipsch loudspeakers were assembled in a tin shack in Hope, Arkansas. The sound is mechanically amplified by the expanding “folds” in the passageway of the horn. Paul Klipsch, inventor and entrepreneur, patented the idea of assembling chambers and passageways for a bass driver’s sound waves to gradually expand as they travel out to the opening. The Klipschorn is a landmark product due to its folded horn design. The Klipschorn is the only speaker that has been in continuous production for over 60 years. From each writer’s picks we selected, by consensus of the senior editorial staff, “The 12 Most Significant Loudspeakers of All Time.” Our final verdict is presented in ascending order of significance (#1 being the most significant). Although each writer worked in isolation, the individual choices exhibited remarkable unanimity. These are the speakers that introduced a new technology, changed the market, influenced future designs, or revealed some previously unheard aspect of sound quality. For this special loudspeaker-focus issue, I asked our most senior contributors to each name the twelve loudspeakers that had the greatest impact on high-end audio.
