80 years of iconic Klipsch images | Hz So Good, 2014 – Created as the centerpiece for the Klipsch booth at the 2014 Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show (CES), this massive sculpture weighs in at 2,000 pounds. As a loud and proud homage to Klipsch legendary horn-loaded technology, Hz So Good is a 10-foot scale Tractrix® horn made of black painted steel, vinyl-wrapped wood, canvas, and dotted with copper ceremetallic woofers. Sporting hundreds of signatures, including Lynyrd Skynyrd band members and quarterback Andrew Luck, the sculpture now resides at Klipsch HQ in Indianapolis where visitors are encouraged to add their names.

80 years of iconic Klipsch images | Klipsch Orange County Chopper, 2008 – Revealed at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the Klipsch chopper (photographed here by Keith Claytor) was designed and built by the famous Teutul family. The motorcycle and several Klipsch employees were featured in an episode of the Discovery Channel’s American Chopper television series. Years following, the bike was displayed backstage at the Klipsch Music Center amphitheater in Noblesville, IN, where it was signed by many artists and musicians. The Klipsch chopper was auctioned to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation in 2013.

80 years of iconic Klipsch images | Young Gun, 2014 – This 48” square photograph on aluminum hangs at Klipsch headquarters in Indianapolis. Shot by Indiana native Chris Bucher, the image captures Indycar driver Josef Newgarden deep in thought before qualifying for the Indy 500. Chris was a commercial photographer, artist and author whose work won many significant awards, with this image being his fourth gold medal in the National Art Museum of Sport’s Annual Art Competition. Chris captured many legendary Klipsch lifestyle, product, and event images from 2014 until his untimely passing in 2025. His photos graced our brochure covers, website, advertisements, and retail displays.

“The people that I photograph are the inspirations behind the images. The very young Indycar driver, Josef Newgarden is no exception to this. His lighthearted charisma coupled with steel-hearted determination makes him a particular favorite subject of mine. Shooting this rising star in front of his Klipsch-branded car, surrounded by the controlled chaos of the crew while prepping for qualifications brings light to the excitement and death-defying challenge inherent in motorsports. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway as a shooting location always brings awe and reverence to me. For this shoot, I poured through hundreds of images of the speedway, the cars and the drivers from the 50’s and 60’s to both remind me of the tone and feel of those racing pioneers as well as to try and find new and dynamic views of a place that has been photographed by the best shooters for a hundred years.” - Chris Bucher
