I had the pleasure of attending a lecture on acuoustic theory by Paul Klipsch when I was in college in 1972 at Henderson St. University.  One of my college buddies was arrested for wearing a t-shirt with the Klipsch "B*** S*** moto a few years later in Fayetteville, AR due to an ambitious local prosocuter.  The story made the "Grapevine" alternative newspaper.  The charges were dropped.

I now have two Klipsch Forte spearkers, two Kg4 speakers, and several S4i Headphones for our iPhones.  They all provide amazing audio free of distortion.
