Product Description
When the La Scala first launched in 1963, audio pioneer Paul W. Klipsch made it for Arkansas gubernatorial candidate Winthrop Rockefeller to use as a public address speaker. Because some considered it a "portable and more affordable version of the revolutionary Klipschorn(R), the La Scala found success beyond the campaign. Despite its raw, unfinished appearance, the fully horn-loaded, three-way La Scala sounded so good people still wanted to put it in their living rooms. Remaining virtually unchanged since those early campaign days, Klipsch decided to cosmetically improve the raw-looking La Scala by making it available in a variety of high-quality wood veneer finishes, including cherry, walnut and black ash. The La Scala II also has a grille to cover the mid and high frequency horns. The bass horn cabinet walls are now constructed of 1-inch thick MDF rather than -inch plywood to offer more support, decrease resonance and deliver cleaner bass response. Even though the La Scala II adopts a more finished appearance, it still delivers the same sparkling highs, extreme output and unsurpassed low distortion bass response as the original design. It also continues to utilize the same horn-loaded drivers as the Klipschorn, making it highly efficient and able to produce high volumes consuming very little power and undetectable distortion.

An investment in sound... January 27, 2008

Having just purchased a pair of La Scala II front channels with Heresy II back channels I find the La Scala's truly amazing. My sound system has all the depth, dynamic range and feeling I could possible want. Truly incredible, friends who have purchased stuff from a local manufacturer (I live in MA) come to my house for a real home theater experience and my Klipsch system delivers, my receiver, in cinema DSP mode, delivers 60% of my sound comes through the front channels and the La Scala's deliver with a thundering clarity that can be felt as well as heard.
The La Scala delivers pure spatial sound and emotion, with a touching realism that is unrivaled by anything else I have ever heard. From HT applications to old Patsy Cline recordings, they deliver in a way I never thought possible.
They are worth every penny and then some, I never thought sound could be reproduced like this.

my father has these speakers. they sound incredibly clear. they have two horn tweeters that provide the greatest amount of detail i've ever heard in a pair of speakers. they need the right amount of power though so make sure you have the wattage in your amp. these speakers are what i judge the quality of all other speakers.
