I'd assumed they would be well built, they're two rungs up the proverbial ladder from my Heresys that are built like tanks. If I get the chance to listen to more I'll go if it isn't a ten hour drive. I responded to a person somewhere in upstate SC near here with a pair. Also a pair listed in Chattanoga, TN that would be an all in a day road trip. The LaScalas are a little bigger than I envisioned looking at the dimensions on the screen. If you head to Chattanooga, I'm just south of Knoxville. You're welcome to swing by (if it could be timed properly with work) and hear some other Klipsch goodies. Oh, and they are powered by a Crown K2, each (actively bi-amped) something like 300/400 watts into 8 ohms (HA, I'm not even sure!!) Sound great. Makes three...(there are others too) I've had people at my house, making the drive from: Nashville, Atlanta, Charlotte, Lexington, Staten Island 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 Thank-Ya Mr Coytee, mighty kind of you. I'll keep that in mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitrofan Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I really just wanted to see what they could do with a lot of clean power fed to them, and it's a lot. I gave up before they did lol. According to the meters on the amp I rarely hit the 62.5 watt level and that is unbelievably loud. Peaks are usually hitting the 30 watt level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 The bottom line is unless a fool is at the control, mega watts should not kill speakers. Speakers need about 15 db of head room for dynamics. With that said, the main listening level should not be that high where megawattage comes into play for 99% of the material that one wishes to listen to. You can pretty much power any speaker with home audio design amplification or pro amps but, be reasonable in the volume department based on the speaker and amp. No advice or gear can help a fool on the other end of the controls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Star Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Just a thought.... in his phono pre-amp set up, might he have had the stylus type set up wrong? (MM vs. MC) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been, he was messing with it when I got there. A number of things crossed my mind. Too much firepower on a rack inside a small closet, wiring...angry ex. Irregardless, pulling out a tape and visualizing the size of the LaScala II wasn't the same for me as standing next to one. Too big for me now.

Thaddeus Smith Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Real size vs tape measure definitely is a bit of shock, but it's not insurmountable. Also, *regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rxonmymind Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Speaking of power. I've found that regardless of what I'm pushing my Bell's with be it a Marantz 2500 @ 250 wpc or Sony str 7055 @ 35 wpc there is a sweet spot to both. Type of music, your distance from speakers and the environment all have to be factors when cranking up or turning down the the volume. Of course this won't help the tone deaf.
