Congratulations to Marco


Has anyone seen the full-page birthday card to Paul Klipsch in the most recent Stereophile (p. 59) or AudioXpress (first inside page)? It's not an ad from the company, but a 100-year birthday memorial placed by PK's loving wife. The graphic design is by our own Marco Prozzo (Jax2), and I want to compliment him on an excellent job!

It will be included in the upcoming edition of TAS as well. I think the AudioXpress presentation is nicer than the Stereophile one, because it appears next to a less "busy" page. Cheers Marco!

Sure Unclejeff. Sorry I don't have time to do a set of images that may do the invitation better justice, but as good as the Internet can show such things, you can take a peek at the Ad that Peter mentioned, as well as the invitation I subsequently created which was for a dedication taking place at the end of this week in Hope, AK for the Paul W. Klipsch Memorial Garden and PWK Conference Room. The intvitation was done in a limited edition of 300 hand numbered copies. I don't know if the wood grain in the background comes across on the Internet pics, but it is the grain from birchply (a the favored material of construction of the Heritage line of speakers PWK designed). The photo-engraved copper plate on the front is identical to the design on the speakers, and the hand-applied label on the back reflects the edition number and many who are familiar with vintage Klipsch will also recognize it. So use this linkto see a few pics of the designs.

Thanks again for all the kind words.

Best,

Marco

....yes, I do have a serious side.....in fact, most people who know me well would never suspect I was funny at all. I wish my wit was as sharp as my key-pecking humor, but alas, it is not!
Marco, no one said you were funny, the suggestion is just that you're not always serious! : )
Marco, now that I've seen the ad I am truly impressed. You did justice to a great visionary-trend setter in audio. His designs set new standards for audio. Looking at them today it's easy to forget that this work was done before many at this site were born.

Now if you would just move closer to me, we'll team up my photography with your design talent and go after some of that annual report and advertising budget that's out there :^).
Hey Marco I knew you had talent that why Maureen and i paid the bill!!! In fact that is why we hired you in the first place. We needed someone who could do his job as well as Paul Klipsch did his. Hell there has not been a speaker at any price that has come along in 56 years that could bring the realism of music into the home better than a LaScala or a Klipschorn, and there is not a better artistic talent in the world that you my friend
