JBlake377 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Hello everyone, this is actually my first post, but this topic may be very important if it has not already been discussed. I was just talking with my local Klipsch dealer and it seems as though they are going to discontinue the Belle line for a La Scala/Belle Hybrid. It will still be called the La Scala though. This is just what I heard from him 10 minutes ago so don't shoot the messanger. I'm sure this has been talked about, but I just wanted to post it to let you know if you have not heard of this. I've been reading through the forums for a few weeks and I'm just thankful i've found a medium to take out my audio aggression on. Thank God.

Frzninvt Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Sounds interesting, wonder if there is any truth to it though??? Hmmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Makes sense to me. Keep the LaScala, put a pretty face on it, and drop the Belle Klipsch. Betcha that was Valerie's idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.4knee Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I agree with Dean if it is true. Dress up the La Scala and drop eth Belle Klipsch. That would allow for the restoration of the Cornwall into the Heritage line. Then all the "Cornwall Evangelists" could dance and shake their fingers whilst singing, "neah neah told ya so!"

There's a lot to each speaker, but to me one should not be gleefuful about one being ended and possibly one being re-started. Any joy should be if the speaker sounds good. dodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Guys, Nah! They'll just change the name from Belle klipsch to the Valerie Klipsch! Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 If it were true it would also reduce complexity and standardize on horns for the big Heritage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I had not seen anything about that to date. if it is true I am not sure I am thrilled about it but...let´s see what they say. tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 This is the second time within the past 5 or so weeks the same scenario has been mentioned. The first minus the Cornwall. So it seems asif you desire Belle's as they are, an order be placed. The first one also mentioned the Heresy being updated, having a better low end and Titanium in the drivers? dodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm not singing praises of any discontinued Heritage line, but this does pave the way for a revitalized Cornwall. Stay tuned people....

rtaylor Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 The size of the Lascalas (depth) is possibly one reason for the Belles popularity with some. I like the looks of the Belles better but it doesn't fit in the space I have for speakers, neither do the K-horns. Wouldn't Trey or Amy let this cat out of the bag here?

Michael ---------------- But lets not forget he said this "Then all the "Cornwall Evangelists" could dance and shake their fingers whilst singing, "neah neah told ya so!" in a humorous way. Not wishing to upset any Cornwall or any Heritage fans in general here. I too hate to see the demise of any Heritage speaker but admittedly the Belle Klipsch/La Scala duo offer the most redundancy in the line. I personally like the La Scala sound better than the Belle Klipsch but as with most I feel the Belle Klipsch cabinet is the better looking of the two, so IMO dressing up the La Scala would be a reasonable compromise if a compromise is determined to be necessary.

seti Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Sounds like insane sacrilidge to me. I am glad I got my Belles. Instead of butchering the heritage bring back all the old heritage speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 This development just reinforces what was said when I first brought my Oak/Cane Belles home - "Fear not Ms. Belle, you have now found a PERMANENT home". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I've always wanted some Belle's,...But never been interested in the Scala's because their so dang ugly, just MHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't hold you breath on a Cornwall II re-release though... unless it gets a major overhaul (Chorus III?... ) Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmboydoug Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Or maybe Klipsch is going to phase the entire Heritage line out one model at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
