Klipsch LA SCALA Heritage | Dire Straits - You And Your Friend

[@n.zubemolotha7669]

Klipsch speakers are man’s most faithful companion!!

[@chuifaiwu7668]

I quite agree with you. I have an amplifier with 300B in parallels tubes to drive a pair of Klipsch KLF 20 (100 dB) for years I liked. If I have larger sitting room will buy this classic model.

[@robk5745]

These seem like goosebump central. The presence they have is off the charts!

[@Karto86]

This is why I love Klipsch, even the lower tier speakers - they give you a sense of presence :)

[@ViktoriN.Nilsson]

One of the naturals , speakers around and probably the best there is, Klipsh forever.

[@snocrazee]

Hahaha. Watching KZbin videos on the big screen TV and this popped up. Listening to the video in my man room on some La Scalas I bought new 32 years ago when I was 21 for about 1600 bucks for the pair. It was a ton of money for me at the time but I was in a Audio store in Longview, TX and the guy asked I wanted to hear them. A little 40 watt amp hooked to them and it blew me away. I will never let them go. Classic speakers that never get old. Family heirloom now. I can't wait for some kid to ask one of my great grandkids "where you get those rocking speakers from?" Grandkid will say his great grandpa bought them 70 years ago. I will be gone by then but these La Scalas will carry on. Lol.

[@joethielbar130]

I just looked them up, today they cost 12k

[@trentliptay4024]

Thats cool

[@SpaghettiKillah]

Cool story bro !! You were lucky to find your grail speakers and hang on to them for so long and be satisfied ! Most audiophiles go through speakers like they go through socks 😂 I'm at my 3rd speakers (B&W) and I stopped...using them for 6 years now !

[@matthewgolterman4570]

love this. Just copped some in Brownsville , TX secondary market. Don't even want to say what I paid, but its not because it was too much. Listening to this song through them and reading what you wrote brought tears to my eyes. I was seriously considering flipping them on the way over to get them . Not so much since I plugged them in.

Have to agree, picked up a set of 5.2s overseas for under£100 and was positively surprised. Will look to get a set of the le Scalas in a couple of years.

[@audioreinforcementconcepts3537]

La Scalas have been my love since 1974 when I was teen ager. There is something muddy but deeply inspiring in the 200 - 400 Hz range that I really love and always recognized ll the time with La Scalas, that can be felt also listening here trhough small chinese pc speakers. By the way I own Klipschorns since 1979 and these last are better, but La Scalas are still in my heart, and for many good reasons, anyone can hear here. The soundtrack is also one of my references for outstandng recording quality. Thanks for posting.

[@s.r.345]

So pure, its like Mark Knofler is in the room

[@justsumguy2u]

The La Scala is an amazing speaker, always has been. The high sensitivity gives it an effortless sound, and the folded horn design really gives the bass a deep resonance

[@justsumguy2u]

@@ColocasiaCorm It depends on the type of resonance. If it's consistent throughout the entire lower frequency range, then yes, that's a good thing. Now, if there is resonance only within certain frequency ranges, that's very much not good.

I just ordered mine today! I was also considering Fyne Vintage and JBL 4367. There's something about the LaScala that blows my mind and defies many things considered "audiophile" by the "experts". You have to listen to these beautiful sculpted cabinets to truly understand what they deliver.

I actually recently inherited a mint pair from the early 70's. After seeing this video I had to try this, it may be the perfect song for the La Scala's!

[@topixfromthetropix1674]

I had a pair of LaScalas in the 80's. In the seventies I was invited to Hope Arkansas to do a consultation while the Klipsch BMF theater system was being developed. The Klipsch guys wanted to know if their BMF's could crack the concert sound touring business. I told them the concert sound touring business is built around speaker systems that go in a truck in an efficient manner and most had to be rectangular to use up truck space efficiently. The BMF was not rectangular and except for being used as the PA for the Rainbow Music Hall in Denver, it had little to no impact on the touring sound business. It does have a lion's share of movie theater sound system business. Meeting Paul Klipsch and Bill Moyers was a pleasure. Peter, Paul, and Mary used 4 LaScalas as their PA when they played Radio City Music Hall.

[@Synfulz]

Wow Rainbow music hall. I listened to Montrose there in 1980 or so I forget. But that venue was amazing.

[@Justwantahover]

@Douglas Blake You are actually hearing a combination of theirs and your speakers. And also you are hearing their acoustics mixed with your acoustics. To get a good sound from KZbin, listen to different type speakers than yours and with different room acoustics. This recording is so good it nearly sounds like direct feed. Good speakers, good mic and good room acoustics on this particular KZbin demo! (But not all demos are recorded so well.) I got two completely different types of speakers and if I want to listen to my demos (on my ch) I can use the other type speakers to hear them. My floor standers are different to anything on KZbin (on my ch) and so they make most speakers on KZbin sound great.
