hernamf Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) I live in Peoria, IL, and I cannot find a single Klipsch dealer that has a pair of LaScala AL5s on a showroom floor to listen to. I'm willing to drive across the border to Iowa if necessary. Does anyone know where in IL I can find a set of AL5s to listen to? Thanks in advance!

capo72 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Have you checked with Primetime A/V in Rockford? I know they have had them in the showroom before; I'm not sure if they currently do. I haven't been in since before Christmas. Try to connect with Will, he is great to work with. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWelsh Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 You might check with Hawkeye Audio in Iowa City, IA. As far as I know, they are the only Klipsch Heritage dealer in Iowa. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Call Cory at Paducah Home Theater. Something of a drive from CAT country, but doable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch has a Heritage dealer locator that lists what speakers they have set up. When I typed in Peoria, the closest place that came up that has LaScalas is Sundown One in Springfield.

82 Cornwalls Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Sundown One in Springfield Illinois only has one pair of Heresy IV in stock, no other Heritage speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82 Cornwalls Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I would always call a dealer before making a trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codewritinfool Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 The Sound Room in Chesterfield, MO has a pair. Well, they did. That's a haul from Peoria but not too bad. You should call them first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch Authorized Audio Speaker Dealer Locator | Klipsch it's worth noting that the Heritage Dealer Locator is woefully out of date. of the 7 Heritage dealers listed in my area, only 3 are open or carry home stereo gear. Of those three, only two have any Heritage product, one store has 2 pair of Forte, the other has the full Heritage line. Still, it seems they've updated it since I last checked it a couple years ago and dropped some of the out of business dealers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much grew up in Peoria, and finally made it back to my 50th HS reunion. It had changed a lot (in a good way). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audible Nectar Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 It appears OP is gone, but last I checked Entertainment Expressions in Bettendorf IA had a set on demo (adjacent to Davenport) and has Heritage products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom05 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 It’s a lot more difficult to buy speakers today , I remember years ago when audio stores had dozens of speakers set up and ready for A/B testing , that was the good old days . Back then the buyer could make an informed decision about what they were purchasing and the manufacturers knew that their products had to hold up to this scrutiny . Today many speaker brands benefit from the lack of meaningful comparison that was once common . On the other hand , the great speakers , like Lascala or Klipschorn , they are routinely overlooked by many enthusiasts , never to be heard , people just aren’t aware of the giant leap in performance , including the shocking live performance quality that truly sets these speaker's apart from the common ordinary stuff , it should be easier to demo the AL5’s that your interested in .
