nightrider Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I am a new member, I have owned many Klipsch. I have a pair of KG 5.5s , have owned them for approx. 6 years. They are driven with 6W/side single ended triode separate amp and preamp. I would appreciate some of your opinions on La Scala for my system , and what you consider a realistic range of pricing for them. Thank You , Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Horns love tubes! LS love triodes, but the 3 foot bookshelve speakers need sub-woofer suppport for the bottom. Mine were $500, others as much as 2K, also consider Belles and Khorns... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotbuck Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Greetings, I just picked up a pair of La Scalas with the Type AA crossover network and alnico-magnet speakers. I paid $1,550 for them and they're dead mint. I'm using a 10wpc single-ended toob amp (using 6BQ5's so it's not a triode), and the La Scalas are quite happy with what they're being fed. With a little toob rolling and speaker placement about a fist's width from the wall, the bass extension is surprisingly deep. The dynamics and overall sound just breathes -- and sometimes explodes -- like no other speakers I've owned (including Lowthers). And I'm finding that the speakers draw attention to the music rather than to themselves; they kind of just get out of the way and let the recorded performance shine. Of course, if you need ultra-low bass, you'll want a sub-woofer that is relatively quick and dynamic; other than that, you're good to go. In short, I think you'll love these speakers! Hope this helps... Take care, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
