La Scala II

About the La Scala II

The Klipsch La Scala II is a legendary three-way, fully horn-loaded loudspeaker originally designed as a more portable alternative to the Klipschorn. It features a 15-inch fiber-composite woofer with a folded bass horn housed in the bottom cabinet, and a top cabinet containing a 1-inch phenolic diaphragm compression tweeter and a 2-inch phenolic diaphragm compression midrange driver, both horn-loaded for high efficiency and dynamic sound. The speaker is renowned for its extremely high sensitivity of 105 dB and a frequency response of 51 Hz to 17 kHz, allowing it to deliver concert-like volumes with modest amplifier power. The enclosure is crafted from birch plywood and MDF with a wood veneer finish, available in Heritage Cherry or Australian Walnut, using book-matched wood veneers for a premium aesthetic. Each speaker weighs approximately 175.5 lbs and measures 38.5 inches high, 24.25 inches wide, and 25.25 inches deep. The La Scala II is handmade in the USA, reflecting Klipsch's heritage craftsmanship and is backed by a 5-year parts and labor warranty. It is celebrated for its realistic sound reproduction, especially in dynamic and transient details like clapping, and offers an engaging, non-fatiguing listening experience, though it may have a slightly higher bass cutoff compared to the Klipschorn.
