Administrators Chad Posted September 13, 2016 Administrators Share Posted September 13, 2016 We are proud to announce the upcoming release of the 70th Anniversary Limited-edition La Scala and Cornwall speakers! In celebration of Klipsch’s 70th anniversary, exclusive limited-edition La Scala® & Cornwall ® 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. Only 70 pairs of each model will be made. MSRP: $14,000/pr (La Scala) & $6,000/pr (Cornwall) We will present more information here very soon. These are set to begin shipping in October. Stay tuned for more information! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I wish Klipsch would use this big-change opportunity to enlarge the mid horn and drop the lower Xover point from 800 to 600 and get the bigger, broader sound of the older Cornwalls! The Heresy treble of the current models (at least as I last heard them) just isn't worthy of the larger, more expensive cabinet IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul79 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Totally agree LarryC. The Cornwall III is nothing like the Cornwall or the Cornwall II for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Heresy treble of the current models (at least as I last heard them) just isn't worthy of the larger, more expensive cabinet IMO. I'd even say to go bigger than the CW or CWII's 601 horn. Granted it wouldn't pay homage to the originals but I do think it would sound better with something like a FastTrac horn at 600Hz. It would still fit in the same cab if they move the woofer back down to the bottom above the ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Like Schu says, if it's changed too much it's not even Klipsch any more. Some of these DIY adventures are liked by some individuals who hear or own them, but I haven't liked at least one that I heard. So, I intuitively like what PWK designed, like the K-600 -- it really worked and has been very popular with many fans and has stood the test of time. Dunno if everyone would say the same for the FastTrac. My 2 cents' worth and vote is for the K-601. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Favog Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Which brings up the question: Was the K601 mold ever found? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, my plea was to go back to what made the Corn's I and II so attractive long-term. If it's more than just the Xover point, so be it. But, the last time I heard them (several years ago), the C III had the lesser Heresy treble, not the larger-speaker breadth of the C I and II. That has to hurt sales and reputation over time, it seems to me. JMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybadger Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 How about use the mid horn out of the Chorus 2, or did that get lost as well. Very nice sounding horn as I recall. HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I agree with most, changes in substance would be much better than cosmetics... Kick out the jams on Heritage ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the lack of coloration and reduced distortion sounds terrible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimes Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Man.......... $14k??? Almost double the LaScala II price???? I was so excited for this release, and Klipsch comes with that price? Disappointed to say the least. They are gorgeous, nonetheless. But $7000 a piece?? No way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
