La Scala Specifications


126mhz

Recommended Posts

I've been to the Klipsch website, (not wanting to ask a question here that could be answered there) and I can pull up a picture and a BRIEF description of the La Scala, but no specifications. Any hints?

I've like a fairly complete product specification.

Thank you and Yes I have been to that page and I'm unable to get anything but the picture and brief description. What else can I do?

Thanks again,

P.S.

I even try to go into "Details" but my arrow doesn't even turn into a hand as one would expect to allow me to open the "Details" menu.

126,

Hmmm, maybe a browser issue. I clicked on the squiggly (sp?) line below the word "Details," where my cursor did turn into a hand, and got the following:

For some reason - differences in measuring techniques or something - the earlier LaScala literature claims a frequency response of 45hz.-17khz. + - 5dB, efficiency of 104 dB for one watt at four feet (107 with flat network), a driver consist of a K-77, a K-55-V and a K-33, with a power handling capacity of 70 watts. Crossover points are 400 and 6000 hz.

I think we need to launch an investigation into what happened to those 8 cycles on the low end.2.gif

There had 45 Hz at -5dB and now it's 53 Hz at -3 dB. Could be the same...

What's more interesting is 104 db at 1W and 4 feet compared to today's 104 db at 1W and 1 meter. I had seen someplace that the 104 dB at 4 feet translated to 106 dB at 1 meter.

But I've never seen a 70W rating; always 100W (except for the industrial version at 200W).

Seriously thanks you guys. What a luxury to be able to punch a few keys on your computer and get all this information in a matter of minutes.

I've had difficulty navigating the site since the change.

If I didn't have the Forum Pagemarked, I don't think I would find it. I have not seen a page from which the Forum is even mentioned. Maybe it's webtv or me, but it ain't easy.

Hi Bill

Do a search under "Check out these 1980s spec sheets"

you will see alot of spec sheets and brochures on many klipsch speakers.

of course these have the older network/drivers versus the current models. Where you looking for specs on older or new models?

anyway its good reading if you haven't seen it.
