    I live in Las Cruces, NM and went to New Mexico State University in 
the EE Department. I met Paul Klipsch in 1959 at the school. He also 
graduated from NMSU and was designing his speaker enclosures at that 
time. He used real science in his designs and they all do sound good and 
you don't need a big 100 watt RMS amplifier. The EE department is now 
called the Klipsch School of EE.
