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 Not liking the price....Definitely not liking the Australian Walnut...I do like the Cornwall's in California Black Walnut....But these I'll pass on..... Are trees that rare in Australia?

Additional shipping and handling costs to get it to the US make up much of the cost difference compared to domestic sourced American Walnut. If you are in the market for La Scala II, Klipsch has a deal for you. $14,000 from the 'Land Down Under' or $8,000 from the 'Land of the Red, White, and Blue'. (Same speaker as for as I know.) G.E.M.

gimes Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Why is the LaScala markup even bigger than the KHorn one?? I'm still just blown away by this $14k price tag. Good Lord... There are still 70th KHorns unsold on the site, wouldn't that indicate that the price is set a little high? Only 70 sets and not sold out... Damn, this price is such a disappointment. Heresy's were marked up the least and they sold out almost immediately... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My joking answer would be that they only need to sell one pair...Not so funny is it makes one wonder could this be the last reiteration of them from Hope...Dunno but they do look nice.

That would be hard to believe. A company's fixed cost of production is plant, overhead, and labor. The Anniversary speakers are made in the same plant, with the same overhead and labor. Cost of materials may be more, we don't know. If so, they could actually offset the added material cost by applying a marginal cost factor to the limited product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Favog Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Chad, after reading your link, the page describes the CWIII70 as having "folded horn technology". Are the ports for the woofer considered a "folded horn"?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they announced the 70th klipschorns, I believe they were labeled small speakers. This was copied from the heresy's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
