Klipsch La Scala 2018 or the Triangle Cello?

Hello!

I want some help to decide which one to choose, both have the same MSRP but the Cellos are $3k more expensive than the La Scala from where I live. Both speakers share similar design goals that I am looking for.

Any impressions of one or both speakers are greatly appreciated!.

Five feet? Are you talking about the length of the bass horn? Surely you don't mean the woofer is 5 ft. behind the midrange horn?

Perhaps you are not familiar with Triangle speakers, LOL.  

You are right, I am not. But that's not my point. Which is that the Cornwall IV, Forte III and AL5 Lascala have improved in many ways that make them a good choice for even non horn fans.

For my tastes I would go with the Cellos as I am not a fan of much of what horns do except dynamics.

Yeah I get it. Texturally rich midrange, correct timbre, low level detail. These things aren't for everyone.

Indeed you do. And I have the right to a little satire. If that little comment was offensive, the internet might not be the place for you........

I don't think the LaScalas are in the same league. The Klipsch can do loud and punchy but they will lack the finesse and 3D imaging of the Triangles. You will be very happy with the Triangles. Even better with a tube amp.

Perhaps you haven't heard the current generation of Klipsch speakers. They do the imaging trickery and finesse better than older klipsch offerings. The new Cornwall IV is extremely hard to beat in it's price range.
