Moderators Amy Posted October 14, 2005 Author Moderators Share Posted October 14, 2005 Amy/Trey, Does the new La Scala really use a tractix horn for the tweeter? Is it using a similar horn to the what HIII and CW III are/will be using? All of the previous images look like the same K77 exponential horn as before. Don't get me wrong this is not a complaint. I thought the Tweeter had a crisper/cleaner sound when we saw it in Indy. I too would like to offer my congrats to the developement team for the infusion of fresh DNA into the heritage line without dismissing the line's traditional sonic characteristics. R/Jim You are correct, the La Scala does NOT use a tractrix horn. It was my mistake. The Heresy III and Cornwall III will have a Tractrix high frequency horn.

mikebse2a3 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Amy Please give our appreciation for the HARD WORK that Everyone at Klipsch has done to see that the HERITAGE LINE Continues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pauln Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Might be biased 'cause I just bought them, but I like the old LaScala looks better than the new one - but that's just me. I bought them in fear of the change and now I am glad I did. The drivers and lenses appear to be the same, and I suppose the new one uses the AL-4 network. I can see why some like the styling of the new one better, but for my tastes the old one (2005) is for me. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarsear Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 My 2004 Khorns also display the older PWK fan logo in the upper corner but they do have the older neck style. Mebbe they're 2004 -2006 hybrids???? So there's no component changes whatsoever for the new breed Khorn??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mike[] Thank you, Mike, I'll pass this along. oscarsear: From the website for the Khorn: In 2005, the company made some minor cosmetic and functional revisions to this legendary speaker, including the elimination of the inset collar, or spacer, between the upper and lower cabinets for a cleaner aesthetic appearance. A horizontal wall seal was added to improve the low frequency horn's connection to the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically it's still there, just set further back and much thinner... looks to be about 1/2", right? The top cabinet is also now flush with the bass bin... BTW i like the look... and always thought the model "C" was equally as nice (as the "B"). This is kinda half way inbetween (model "BC"?) I remember Greg928 mentionning he also thought the "C" had a cleaner look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psg Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 What was changed on the khorn? The collar and networks? Seems like the collar was reduced, and the top decorative panel on the bass bin was eliminated... Here is the old Klipschorn with the original collar vs the new: Nice comparison Rob. I guess there's less veneer work on the new one! I'd have to see them in person to really be sure which I like best. Someday I'll buy a brand new pair of Klipschorns. That'll be sweet.

Not me the pictures on the website do not do the new Lascala justice in person that speakers looks awesome. If I could afford new ones it would be a done deal. It also helps that they sound incredible. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom3 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Dear Amy, thanks for your hard work on the forum and the Heritage presence on the main site. As you know, the Cornwall III thread has been one of intense interest. Here's my 2 cents, and if you'd pass it along to to the CW III design team, that would be wonderful: 1. The CW is a big speaker and there is no getting around that. So, make it narrower (by about 4 inches) and make it deeper (by the same amount to preserve the volume). 2. Give it a gently curved front to make it look more moderne (not misspelled) 3. With the increased depth either re-create the K601 or use the K501 (whatever the the LS is using). Please don't let it be "just" the Heresy's big brother with the same mid and tweeter horns. It deserves better than that. 4. Promote it and the other new Heritage units, and promote them vigorously. Take the "invisible speaker" HT crowd head on and do some consumer education. What K&A needs is an Evangelist. Someone who can reach the older Boomers in McMansions and educate the younger boom-car crowd at the same time.

ssh Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Craig, In the listening room at Hope, after hearing the new Cornwalls, the new LaS slapped a wide, silly grin on me. I love the 2 pr. I have, but I was saying "wow" to the new ones. The next step, however, is what I'm after; the two way setup was awesome. SSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
