Even though the La Scala
II adopts a more
finished appearance, it
still delivers the same
sparkling highs, extreme
output and unsurpassed
low distortion bass
response as the original
design. It also
continues to utilize the
same horn-loaded drivers
as the Klipschorn,
making it highly
efficient and able to
produce high volumes
with undetectable
distortion.
When the La Scala first
launched in 1963, audio
pioneer Paul W. Klipsch
made it for Arkansas
gubernatorial candidate
Winthrop Rockefeller to
use as a public address
speaker. Because some
considered it a
"portable" and more
affordable version of
the revolutionary
Klipschorn®, the La
Scala found success
beyond the campaign.
Despite its raw,
unfinished appearance,
the fully horn-loaded,
three-way La Scala
sounded so good people
still wanted to put it
in their living rooms.
Remaining virtually
unchanged since those
early campaign days,
Klipsch decided to
cosmetically improve the
raw-looking La Scala by
totally redesigning the
way the cabinet was
constructed. The goal
was the achieve a more
finished appearance and
improve cabinet
rigidity. It is now
available in a variety
of high-quality wood
veneer finishes,
including cherry, walnut
and black ash. The La
Scala II also includes a
grille to cover the mid
and high frequency
horns. The bass horn
cabinet walls are now
constructed of 1-inch
thick MDF rather than
¾-inch plywood to offer
more support, decrease
resonance and deliver
cleaner bass response.
