That sense of a soul carries over to the speaker’s sound, which is something I know I’ve brought up on this channel before. While there are speakers with arguably better build-quality, they often feel sterile whereas the LaScala feels alive. The attention to detail found throughout the construction is evident every seam, joint and choice of material looks and feels organic and expertly hand-crafted. The finish -especially the American Walnut you see here -goes a long way in making a physically imposing speaker look at home. Our open concept living room is likely on the edge of what I would consider a good fit for these speakers. It is a large loudspeaker, perhaps too large for most people. Its Klipsch Heritage materials and construction methods are old fashioned by today’s standards, and yet, it looks positively modern. The LaScala isn’t so much a loudspeaker as it is a statement. But none of these specifications tell you anything about what the LaScala is like to live with and listen to. This means that the LaScala can reach concert-like volumes with true to life dynamics with only a handful of watts at its disposal. Its 15 inch horn-loaded woofer, two-inch horn-loaded midrange and one-inch horn tweeter give it a reported frequency response of 51Hz to 20kHz with a sensitivity of 105dB into eight Ohms. The LaScala is a large speaker, crafted by hand in the United States. The LaScala is a true, three-way horn loaded loudspeaker, a distinction it shares only with the Klipschorn, and what separates it from other Heritage loudspeakers such as our reference Heresy IVs. One that could match up to the venerable Klipschorn, but with fewer restrictions and placement requirements. Launched in 1963, the LaScala was designed in part to be a smaller Klipschorn-like speaker. Why? That’s what we’re going to discuss today, so hit that like button and subscribe as we review the iconic La Scala loudspeaker from Klipsch. And yet, among a group of people, people who pride themselves on the pursuit of sonic perfection, the La Scala has endured. What does this have to do with today’s review? Everything, because the La Scala loudspeaker from Klipsch isn’t perfect. Imperfection can be beautiful, inviting, even familiar because it is at the heart of everything -even us. Imperfection can cause us to look closer, or listen more intently. It’s what makes something unique, what makes it interesting. PERFECT SPEAKERS ARE OVERRATED! KLIPSCH LA SCALA REVIEW
