Klipsch formed the nonprofit Klipsch Heritage Museum Association to preserve and study materials from the company’s audio museum in Hope, Arkansas, said the company in a Tuesday news release. The museum includes the original Klipsch factory, surrounding property and archives of company founder Paul Klipsch. The association's mission is to preserve the ideas, research, designs, documents and speakers by Klipsch and Klipsch and Associates and to host educational activities and events, it said.
