The La Scala features a neodymium tweeter with a 1” polyimide diaphragm and
copper clad aluminum voice coil. This lightweight diaphragm assembly and high
strength magnet structure creates the tweeter’s high 105dB sensitivity and makes
it the most efficient consumer tweeter in the market. When coupled to a 90° x
40° Tractrix® horn, the tweeter sets new levels of performance for dynamic range
and output.
MIDRANGE
According to Paul W. Klipsch, “the midrange is where we live” and is one of the
most critical parts in any loudspeaker design. The La Scala’s midrange utilizes
a 2” compression driver mated to a high efficiency exponential horn that
maximizes the system’s power and performance. As a result, less distortion is
produced by the amplifier and by the loudspeaker. That means clarity, accuracy
and remarkable tonal definition.
BI-AMP INPUT PANEL AND BINDING POSTS
The La Scala’s premium, aluminum input panel accommodates large, high-quality
speaker cables. Strong, versatile and quality binding posts provide the capability
for bi-wiring or bi-amping. The quality continues with AudioQuest Type 4 with
Star-Quad Geometry internal wiring featuring carbon-loaded insulation, nitrogeninjected PE and solid long-grain copper conductors.
All specifications are subject to change without notice.
BOOK-MATCHED WOOD VENEER
Klipsch only uses book-matched wood veneers for the Heritage series. The
veneer leaves are kept in order as they are delicately sliced from the timber and
precisely arranged to provide a mirror image at the splice joint — like turning
the pages of a book. This gives each speaker an aesthetically appealing and
consistent appearance that is treasured more than any other cut of wood veneer
The LF and HF cabinets are also matched for continuous grain and color from top
to bottom.
MATCHED PAIRS
Each pair of Heritage series loudspeakers is grain-matched, using wood veneer
panels that come from the same timber. Each cabinet is carefully matched so
that each speaker in the pair is practically indistinguishable from the other.
The speakers move seamlessly together through the factory, and each finished
product is inspected and labeled with sequential serial numbers, ensuring that
your Heritage series speaker leaves the factory as a meticulously crafted set.
BUILT TO LAST
While each and every component of the La Scala is built to last, Klipsch has
always recognized the unique and critical role of a loudspeaker’s cabinet in the
sound reproduction process. From the craftsmen in Hope, AR to the engineers in
Indianapolis, Klipsch has always put an extraordinary emphasis on cabinet design.
The La Scala enclosure is assembled using only the highest-grade adhesives and
fasteners. This is a speaker you will hand down from generation to generation.
Paul W. Klipsch believed four principles to be the foundation for great sound. They continue to drive the design of every new Klipsch speaker, today and tomorrow: High Efficiency / Low Distortion Klipsch horn technology is highly efficient, providing more accurate sound with less power and less distortion – resulting in louder, cleaner audio. Klipsch’s Law: Efficiency is inversely proportional to distortion. Controlled Directivity Klipsch horn technology accurately directs sound to the proper locations, which, in turn, creates a more lifelike soundstage without wasting acoustic energy where sound is not needed or desired. Wide Dynamic Range The softest sounds are reproduced with remarkable clarity and the loudest sounds are delivered without harshness or distortion – with the greatest possible range between the softest and loudest sounds. Flat Frequency Response Audio is delivered without frequency bias – no unnatural highs, mids or lows – reproducing recorded sound as accurately as possible without colorization.
