Both the AL-4 and AK-4 had resistors in the low pass tweaked when they went to two piece MDF build of the LaScala (LaScala II), and the sealed back Klipschorn. Those networks became AL-5 and AK-5. Bob can call them whatever but the al5 in the current la scala and AK6 in the current khorn are current. I also got confused myself so I intentionally wanted the updated speakers to carry the network name. La scala al5. Klipschorn ak6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they went to the MDF build, they went to the AL-5. I mean, I was in Indy when they introduced it, and Mark Kaufman talked about how they had to mod the network -- which I thought he called the AL-5. So, did they make a silent change in the AL-5 network when they went to the Celestion tweeter, and just continued to call it the AL-5 with a revision number on the board? @Chief bonehead Well…..mark was wrong. Al5 belongs to the new la scala because of the celestion tweeter. The AK6 belongs to the new khorn because of the new celestion tweeter. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirkobu Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 What do you think of these? They tell me they are from 2006. Possible with these serial numbers: LS4FB1706190005 / 0006 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch Employees Chief bonehead Posted September 4, 2022 Klipsch Employees Share Posted September 4, 2022 Somebody upgraded the la scala to al4 using an upgrade kit from Klipsch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 and that explains why the AL 4 serial no tag cannot be decoded to 2006 or earlier , the kit comes with a new Sticker badge . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Since the La Scala II came out in late 2005, these first generation La Scalas could not be 2006 models, although they could be 2005 La Scalas, the last and best of that model.

OO1 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 the AL-4 posted by @mirkobu was made in 2006 based on the SN Tag . but the speaker cabinet may have been manufactured in 2005 , with final assembly and testing in 2006 , hence the 2006 tag .

Makismbt Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Hello everyone. Just recently became the proud owner of an AL4 pair. One piece cabin, impressive crossovers, phenomenal sound. They sound great with my vintage Marantz but can't wait to see what a tube SET amp sounds like with these! 2 questions to begin with. 1) Are the grills removable?? If yes, how do they come out? S/N:LS4FB--04310006 2)My cabins weren't treated nice by the original owner. Fortunately, only veneer damage but still... How easy is it to repair the colour?
