Ponch0069 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I wanted to pull the trigger on a new pair of La Scala’s. But after reading that a Special pair of La Scala’s were used to demo the new horn subwoofer’s I’m going to hold off. I’m sure NDF’s were signed during the Subfest but is it reasonable to assume that new La Scala AL6 may be coming in the spring or summer? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 You make a good case for a new LS or an upgrade to. Speculating, yes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I heard the recent version was pretty darn good. I wonder what could be improved on? I can't tell from the photos, but that is some pretty dark grill cloth. Which makes me wonder if it's possible they go 2 way with the new active system they are using for the Heritage Jubilees. I doubt that be the case as that would completely change the speaker, but wishful thinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Yes we do not know but have clues. NDAs for the subs and the new LS if so. Spring now right around the corner. Speculating as people do... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMurg Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 As that picture and the words below it are mine, I know some things. Not much as Roy was very cagey about this, but a little. However, if I told you I'd have to kill you. 🙂 Sorry. If you want to find out for yourself, I suspect that the Chief Bonehead Education Class slated to be given at this year's PWK Birthday Bash will reveal a great deal more. I tentatively plan to attend. If we're allowed to post about it afterwards, I will do so as I did for SubFest back in November. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used an image editor to black out the grill areas of the top hats before posting the pictures so that the "secret" would not be visible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the horn sub that was of interest to the original poster, it was the experimental pair of La Scala in the picture above that Roy demoed with the larger horn subs at SubFest.

Nice, now what exactly that is, we'll have to wait. How exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 "WE" don't know squat. Some of us know there have been experiments with the La Scala. What else is new? No one but Roy knows if there will be a change to production models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one but Roy knows if there will be a change to production models. Yes, someone has been using "we" as if he's an employee, representative, or some sort of advisor. He's been the boss of the forum for a couple of years, maybe he's Roy's boss now... it sure does look like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 It will be interesting to see if there is an upgrade to the K-400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khornukopia Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I should had said K-401, the decades old upgrade to the K-400, as noted in the Klipsch Heritage Series Historical Reference Data. "Nov 1987: The Aluminum K-400 horn was replaced with the K-401 structural foam horn resulting in slightly improved distortion figures."

Idontknow Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Interesting about the mid and high frequency being blacked out because it gives the perception they are just working on the upper frequency rather than the bass and ironically the upper frequency is what is often actually praised while the lower bass gets criticized. I would rather hope they would work on the bass instead. It's amazing how huge Heritage speakers are with all their cabinet space, yet don't go relatively deep in bass. If subs can be added, then why with all that speaker volume can't bass just be integrated into the speakers themselves? Even my Klipsch The Three has more audible bass than a couple of these Heritage speakers and I can easily hold it in my arm it's that small.
