The La Scala design is vintage 1963, and the current version is called the La Scala II. Paul W. Klipsch created it as a public address speaker for Winthrop Rockefeller, who was running for governor of Arkansas at the time. The design caught on, it came to be viewed as a comparatively portable and affordable variation of the company's flagship Klipschorn, thanks to how good it sounded. It is a high-sensitivity speaker that is capable of generating 105 dB with a single watt of power, so a little bit of amplification goes a long way..
These speakers are not for price sensitive shoppers. A pair of 70th Anniversary Cornwall will set you back $6,000, while a pair of the limited edition La Scalas retails for $14,000. Both models will be available at authorized retailers and through Klipsch.com as of October 2016.
