Klipsch Audio Technologies Company Description As one of the first U.S. loudspeaker companies, Klipsch Audio Technologies has been building no-compromise, premium-quality audio products since 1946. Humbly founded by legendary audio pioneer Paul W. Klipsch in a tin shed in Hope, Arkansas, Klipsch is now a highly regarded global brand and technology powerhouse, selling hundreds of thousands of speakers across borders and cultures.
