Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need.

Hi Audiogoners have you you ever had a local dealer that is so pashonet about audio. That they let you bring in your system for fun and try a $10 000speakers. And you have been to every other local dealers shows and listened to $400 000 and above systems. And then tried a pair of speakers and had so much synergy with your budget system and said omg. This blows all other systems I heard for a fraction of the cost of most others? And have been always happy with that pair of speakers and your system for the rest of your life?

Please share your experience"

Klipsch La Scalla! Enjoying them right now! I've had them about a month along with a new "demo" Prima Luna Prologue Premium w/EL34s. The Klipsch remind me of Martin Logan CLS they are so coherent. An absolutely HUGE soundstage presentation and midrange to die for. Not the most extended treble but adequate to be sure.
I'd love to hear these with diamond coated beryllium diaphragms and a powered subwoofer in the lower cabinet (with DSP room correction of course!). These speakers are so juicy-good (but gigantic) -I think they'll be around for a while (got to get some Townshend Super Tweeters).

@fstary "Horns are quite dynamic, but the frequency balance and awareness of the different drivers are weaknesses."

I was expecting this with my new Klipsch La Scalla IIs. I'm happy to report these are some of the most natural and coherent speakers I've ever heard. They deliver scale on another level of largeness -even at low-volume they sound "big". They are excellent at differentiating the texture and timbre of different instruments -emphasis on "articulate". Bass, while not "Powerful", is very natural especially with orchestral music and Jazz -it is what you would hear at a Club or Symphony Hall.

On YouTube, a twenty-something young man posted a video with the title: Klipsch La Scala II - It Seems No Other Speaker Compares To It

He may be onto something?
