The La Scala effectively unveils the recorded musical
information enabling you to hear the intricate detail and
emotional response of the artist.
The Heritage Series La Scala three-way loudspeaker
provides a very Klipschorn®-like performance with
sparkling highs; extreme output yet smooth midrange;
and the unsurpassed low distortion bass response of the
patented Klipsch folded-horn woofer. Utilizing the same
horn-loaded drivers used in the Klipschorn® and Belle
Klipsch the La Scala is highly efficient and can produce
high volumes with very little power and undetectable
distortion.
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® 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.
The La Scala was updated in 2006 as the La Scala II.
