How is KLIPSCH pronounced?

[NotoriousJTC]

I've never had to actually say the word to a clerk, but just with my friends, but even then im not sure if im saying it right...

nvidia = ni-vid-ia
klipsch = ???

 

[fs5]

I believe it's clip-shhhhh..

 

[NaughtyusMaximus]

no clue if I'm right or not, but for some reason I've always pronounced it:

clip-sich

 

[BigToque]

clip-shh (as in (sh)oosh when telling someone to be quiet)

 

[larrymoencurly]

Badly?

 

[LXi]

Clip-shr

 

[NotoriousJTC]

i've always said it as Clip-sich...Clip-shh was an unexpected response , but is it right?

 

[LXi]

The "sch" actually comes from some German names, and its always been pronounced "shhr".

 

[NotoriousJTC]

^^ So it's like saying "Clipsher"...same sound as "Clipshhr"

 

[LXi]

No there is no "er" in the pronounciation, its just "shhr", saying "shhh" while rolling back your tougn a bit.

 

[BDawg]

Yeah, it's clip-shh. I have them for my home theater, and I love them.

 

[RayZor]

Bdog and the rest are right, but it's more like Klip-shhh

 

[BDawg]

Yes it is a more hard sound I thought clip would suffice

the guy at compusa (where i bought mine, convinced him to give them to me for 210.99) calls them cl-I-schhh, but im not suprised hes wrong

 

[Noriaki]

I call them Clip-sich

but the proper name is Klip-shhh because it's german sch isn't prounounced sich

 

[Looney]

Hey, is nvidia prounced as ni-vid-ia? i thought it was in-vid-ia.

 

[AmdEmAll]

Ive always said Klip-spek , I was way off

 

[j00]

just like it looks, clip shhhh. friend sells their sound equipment and ive talked to klipsch's rep. and that's what he says, i sure hope their rep doesnt pronounce it wrong =)
