Islander Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I happened to take a look at the Klipsch.com site, using the link at the top of the page, and happened to notice that the latest version of the La Scala is now called the La Scala III. To me, this makes sense, and gives it a feeling of continuity with the older La Scalas, as well as harmonizing with the other Heritage Series speakers that are named by their version number. Here it is: https://www.klipsch.ca/collections/heritage/products/klipsch-la-scala-iii-floorstanding-speakers?variant=40025469780103 Since I'm in Canada, I was taken to the Klipsch.ca site, so that may be the price in Canadian dollars. At least there's free shipping to all provinces! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Gentec are the klipsch Canadian distributor , they call the AL-5 , the Lascala III for the Canadian market , and most Canadian dealers have switched to the LS III designation , there 's a Dealer in Nova Scotia who uses both designations which makes more sense ( La Scala III / AL5 ) https://glubes.ca/product/klipsch-heritage-series-speakers-la-scala-iii-al5/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted December 25, 2023 Author Share Posted December 25, 2023 Ah, so it's still the AL-5 in the US? The La Scala III name makes more sense to me, since the AL-5 "name" sounds like a factory designation for a prototype, while La Scala III sounds like a fully developed member of the Heritage family. What do you think? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I think al5 is better and more distinctive. What happens if klipsch makes a network change and leaves everything the same... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share Posted December 26, 2023 Klipsch made many network changes through the history of the original La Scala, A, AA, AL, and so on, and the name of the speaker never changed, Is that what you mean? And by the way, Merry Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
