Anyone think that the Klipsch name won't be replaced with Audiovox junk?

Klipsch rapidly went to hell in a hand basket after Paul Klipsch sold it so probably want make much if any difference. I would imagine they will continue the name trying to continue fooling folks.

Up to the age of 96, Paul Klipsch played an active role in the company he and his wife Valerie sold to a cousin and Indianapolis businessman Fred Klipsch and his wife Judy in 1989. Paul W. Klipsch passed away on May 5, 2002. He was 98 years old.

it's a bit like Hyundai purchasing BMW.

Edit: Sorry, that isn't even fair to Hyundai.
