Klipsch Heritage Series speakers, as well as many of its professional models, are all assembled in Hope, AR, and have been since the company was founded in 1946. (Many of Klipsch's other products are not made in the US.) In general, what’s made in the US are the wooden cabinets, which Klipsch said are “assembled, outfitted, and finished by hand and never with the assistance of robotics.” Speakers take anywhere from 40 minutes to 12 hours to build, the company said. Klipsch said it builds professional speakers in the US to be closer to and more responsive to enterprise clients.
