Three-Way Fully Horn-Loaded Loudspeaker
La Scala II
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 to
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 3/4-inch plywood to
offer more support, decrease resonance and
deliver cleaner bass response.

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 consuming very
little power and undetectable distortion.
