  1. Well, I sold my La Scala AL-5s but had to freight ship them cross country so the glass tops stayed behind. Really don't have a use for them, they are mint, no chips. First come, first served as they say. Just trying to pass on some community cheer. Let me know if you are interested.
  2. Sorry, price is $7750. Westcoastdrums: Thanks for the link assist.
  3. Impeccable and lightly used. Original Owner, less than 2 years old. I probably have less than 50 hours on them. From a smoke free home. The price on all Klipsch Heritage keeps going up. Save big on an essentially new pair for almost half of list price with no 2-3 month wait for a new pair to be built. I will also include some custom made smoked glass tops at my price. I still have the original boxes although these are for pickup only in South Central KY due to size/weight. They sound glorious with my Prima Luna Tube monos/preamp that I will also consider selling. I've owned a LOT of Klipsch speakers over the years (3 pair of KHorns, 5 Pair of LaScalas, 3 pair of Belles, etc) and these are by far the best. No more horn shout but still that wonderful dynamic fullness only large horn speakers can provide. Audition prior to purchase is fine. Serious inquiries only. I have these posted on USAudioMart as well with over a dozen pics. Lots of wonderful reviews online and on YouTube. One of the most iconic speakers ever.

The price on all Klipsch Heritage is going up 10% from what I hear next month ($13,200?). I'm listing an essentially new pair for almost half of that with no 2-3 month wait for a new pair to be built. I will also include some custom made smoked glass tops at my price.

  5. Shameless bump. I have a few Klipsch Heritage brochures, some from the 60s and 70s (for those who have early model Klipsch) as well as the KLF series and Synergy series.

  7. I have quite a number of manuals, brochures, etc, I have collected over along number of years in this hobby.. A LOT of Klipsch stuff. Most of the gear I previously owned (or was researching to own). None of these are reprints. These are original brochures, owners manuals, etc. They are in color, most are glossy. Because of the large volume, I would ask you just email me for photos or to clarify the specific item you are interested in. I think I have them priced fairly as many are in high demand but I am not pricing them as such. There will be nominal shipping costs (probably about $2 per order to cover postage, cost of large envelopes, etc). Email if you have any questions.

  8. If you are willing to meet halfway for a handoff, I'll take it. I'm about 2.5 hours from Louisville and live in KY.
  9. Anyone have experience with this amp on a pair of LaScalas or Khorns? Would it be a good match or too noisy? I'm worried at 106db efficient, the amp might produce too much hiss or hum from the speakers. I don't have the ability to listen to it first so just wondering if anyone here has used it to success. This would be a modded one (as it should be since this particular unit was built around 1962) Thanks.
  10. Well, after many years of wandering in the audiophile wilderness trying over 100 other speakers in my main system (Revel Salons, Magnepan 3.7i's, ATCs, Thiels, etc, etc...) I finally decided to come back home to Klipsch as I've owned more Klipsch speakers than anything else (3 pairs of Khorns, 6 pairs of Chorus, 5 Pair of Cornwalls, etc, etc..). I had almost forgotten what attracted to me the sound of a horn speaker; immediacy and dynamics. I ordered and received my new pair of LaScals IIIs (AKA AL-5's) over the weekend and just got them set up (see pics). I'm currently using some vintage Pioneer Elite gear (M-91, C-91, etc) and it sounds incredible! Nothing reproduces a jazz horn like a horn speaker! Now I think I'd like to match up the LaScalas with some Tube gear or maybe a warmer sound SS amp. I do have a Musical Fidelity A5 integrated in another system which might be the perfect match for them but haven't tried it yet. Any suggestions from those who have this speaker? (McIntosh, NOSValves, etc)? Obviously I'd want something with a very low noise floor as I don't want any buzzing or hissing. Appreciate any suggestions.
  11. I know this is an old thread. As luck would have it, I recently acquired a mint (and I mean truly mint as it has been professionally re-veneered in blonde oak) KG SW. It is indeed passive and extremely musical when used with my (matching re-veneered) Heresy's. This is more of a musical sub vs. a home theater type sub. No bloom or bloat with this. These seem to be relatively hard to come across. Klipsch must have not made many. That being said, I am changing my room to a HT setup so I will probably put it back into the closet or list it on ebay eventually.
  12. The most iconic loudspeaker ever and needs no introduction. The Klipschorns are the longest continuously produced loudspeaker ever made and has remained virtually unchanged over 70 years!! While large, what makes these speakers so uncanny is they play well in any size room; large or small as they evenly load a room. Also, at 104db efficient (with only 1 watt of power!!) these will fill a room effortlessly and allow you to use either tube amps (SETs, push-pull etc) or solid state amps. Probably the best speakers for home theater due to their tremendous dynamic range (you can hear every whisper) and equally well for music. Large scale orchestra or quiet jazz combos will come alive in your room. These speakers are in walnut and are in fair condition for their age (1974). They sound fabulous!! Considering a new pair of Khorns are $12,000; mine are quite a steal at my asking price. You will need a van or pickup truck to pick these up. They are large and heavy (as all well built, made to last speakers are). Serious inquiries only please.
