The Fall 2025 Chief Bonehead Class event has come and gone. As with the previous six classes, I had a great time. Many of you are probably expecting my detailed report about what we saw and heard during the class. Unfortunately, Klipsch corporate mandated that we could not take pictures and could not talk about what we were shown until there is an official announcement about this (likely next year). ☹ I can say that the event was not about the Heritage Subwoofers. However, Roy did show us “proof of life” for the project. I can’t say what that was either. Roy said that if it were up to him, the subs would be out already. To be fair, I can see why Klipsch had to release the new Khorn and La Scala (due to the end of life of the K-401 tooling) and this upcoming item first.

The Klipsch Museum Of Audio History was featured in the Sunday edition of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

The Klipsch Museum of Audio History in Hope is a find not just for audiophiles, but for those who are wanting to learn more about one of the most interesting audio pioneers of our era.

KHMA, in cooperation with KGI, supplied the speakers for this event. The movie is still in mono, so a splayed pair of KP-396’s comprised the center cluster, and a KP-1802 provided the last couple of octaves. We were told that the man who originally scored the movie heard things he had never heard before. Sound familiar?
