Klipsch Heresy IV

Blasphemy is still a crime in Australia, except in WA and Queensland, where they can, apparently, go for it, and quite right too. But what about heresy? “A temperate and respectful denial of the existence of God is not an offence against the law, ” says our Federal Court, and since this includes “propagation of doctrines hostile to the Christian faith” — aka heresy — Klipsch would seem to be off the hook. This time.

Back in 1957, when the company released its very first Heresy speaker, things were different. For one thing, all the company’s speakers back then were triangular, to be placed in corners. Paul Klipsch intended his new speaker to be a centre speaker, between the corner-mounted Klipschorns. So it had a non-triangular cabinet.
