THE MOST VERSATILE KLIPSCH CREATION

Originally designed for professional use, the Klipsch La Scala has proven itself as an 
outstanding choice for the audiophile as well. The La Scala brings the most subtle 
musical details to life, always delivering the legendary Klipsch sound with clarity and 
ease. On a single watt, it generates 105 decibels of sound pressure, which means that 
the La Scala will delight the listener even while using the most modest amplifier power.

 

DESIGNED AND MADE IN THE USA
USING DOMESTIC AND IMPORTED COMPONENTS

The La Scala loudspeaker is built to rigid Klipsch standards — the toughest in the 
industry! Remember great sound? We do, too. The Klipsch La Scala II enclosure 
is still made in the USA, by proud craftsmen in Hope, Arkansas. Just like Paul W. 
Klipsch intended.

 

NEODYMIUM TWEETER

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.

 

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.

 

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. 

 

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 II enclosure is assembled using only the highest-grade adhesives 
and fasteners. This is a speaker you will hand down from generation 
to generation.
