Klipsch La Scala

Signed by Paul W Klipsch

• The 1978 models often featured birch cabinets with a walnut lacquer stain, giving them a warm, rich appearance that complemented their bold, angular design.
  
• These speakers were built with consecutive serial numbers, a detail prized by collectors for ensuring matched acoustic performance.
  
• The lacquered finish not only enhanced the wood grain but also provided a protective layer that helped preserve the cabinet's integrity over decades.
  
• Each unit housed a three-way horn-loaded system: a 15" woofer, a midrange squawker, and a tweeter, all designed to minimize distortion and maximize dynamic range.
  
• With a sensitivity rating around 104 dB, they could produce thunderous sound even with low-wattage amplifiers, making them ideal for tube amp enthusiasts.

The 1978 Klipsch La Scala speakers in the lacquered finish are a stunning blend of vintage craftsmanship and acoustic engineering. Originally introduced in 1963 as a compact alternative to the Klipschorn, the La Scala quickly earned a reputation for delivering concert-level sound with remarkable clarity and efficiency. The AA crossover network used in these models was a hallmark of the era, contributing to their smooth frequency response and tonal balance.

The La Scala's iconic design and cinematic sound have made them a favorite among audiophiles and vintage audio collectors. Units from 1978 in excellent condition are rare and often command premium prices due to their originality and enduring performance.
