michael hurd Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Just a repeat of my question in general question forum. Has anyone heard of pro-lascala's before. Is this based on the heritage series and stripped down for pro audio use or not. I have never seen these or heard mention until the other day. Is this fact or fiction ? When were they produced and are they worth mentoining ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyKlipschFan Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 They have some protection for the high end and came with a woofer able to take 200 watts of power. Same basic design. Also, some were made with industrial sides, (metal trim) handles, and sometimes split too.(top horns, bottom w box) and fiberglass I believe. I used 2 pairs of these in college in the 80's. (As a DJ and singer in a band in Bloomington, Indiana called "Exposure.") We would stack the low cabinets and put both high ends on top of one another. Easily we could play the smaller clubs to Axis (Used to be called Jakes) where on dime beer night they would easily squeeze 1,000 people + in. (although here we would also have 2 JBL subs too. Sorry, but true!) If you can find a pair that still look good they would be a great buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadhawg Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Yes, I bought two pairs of these last year for my church. They have a heavy duty woofer able to handle 200 watts, fuse protection for top end. They were available in either one piece or split versions with either metal trim or plastic trim and corner protectors. You can still buy the plastic trim and corner protectors from Klipsch in Hope. Inputs included banana plug and 1/4" plug. They don't reach quite as low as the home version, but it's a barely noticeable difference to my ears. They play unbelievably loud and tight. A pair will easily cover a room that seats 1,000 people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyKlipschFan Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Kenra no your thinking of the MCM1900 system.... Another whole beast...LOL.. The Pro La Scala's are pretty cool though. But you will need a sub if you want real lows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Nashville Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 In my quest for a center channel speaker (would like to have a single Heresy), I've been checking local pawn shops here in Nashville. This afternoon, I found a single Klipsch KP-250 which is essentially a 49 pound three way speaker which can be mounted on a pole if desired. In the connection cup on the back side of the enclosure was the name, "LaScala." Surprise Surprise! The idiot at the pawn shop first said that the speaker was a subwoofer. I talked him into taking off the front grill and there in front of us were three speakers. We hooked the speaker up and it appeared to work. Although this thing looks like it would be more at home on the wall in a club, it wouldn't look out of place between my two '77 ALK LaScalas. Is this speaker an industrial version of a Heresy?
