SOLD INDIVIDUALLY
CELEBRATING 70 LEGENDARY YEARS
In celebration of
the 70th anniversary of Klipsch, exclusive limited edition La Scala II speakers
are being manufactured in exotic Australian Walnut wood veneer. Australian
Walnut (also known as Queensland Walnut) is grown in the coastal tablelands of
North Queensland, Australia. The species varies in color, but is usually a pale
golden hue highly contrasted with darker streaks of chocolate brown, grey,
black, or even pink. Australian Walnut grain is moderately close and even and
sometimes wavy, resulting in a wide variety of figure effects.
MADE IN AMERICA: HOPE, ARKANSAS
The La Scala II
loudspeaker is built to rigid Klipsch standards — the toughest in the industry!
Remember great sound? We do, too. The Klipsch La Scala II is still made in the
USA, by proud craftsmen in Hope, Arkansas. Just like Paul W. Klipsch (PWK)
intended.
FEATURES
PROFESSIONAL QUALITY SOUND
When the La Scala
first launched in 1963, audio 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.
The fully horn-loaded, three-way La Scala sounded so good that people wanted to
put it in their living rooms.
LIMITED EDITION
The 70th Anniversary
La Scala II is limited to a production run of 70 pairs of speakers. Each
speaker features a small plaque identifying its numbered sequence in the series
and is signed by the craftsman.
NEW NAMEPLATE
Each pair of La
Scalas feature vintage “script” style nameplates celebrating the company’s 70th
anniversary.
NEW VINTAGE GRILLE
A unique silver
luster grille cloth complements the beautiful Australian Walnut wood veneer.
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.
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.
A LIFETIME INVESTMENT
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, IN,
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 for generations.
