Klipsch La Scala replacement?


Hi there! 

 

I just moved to my new place and there's a BIG chance I have to get rid of my Klipsch La Scala due to space... I have been looking into B&W 702 S2 or maybe Klipsch forte. Any suggestions that anyone could provide would be great, I truly enjoy my La Scalas, hence I would like to buy something similar in audio quality.

 

Thanks in advance!

Wow! Thank you so much for everyone's suggestions!

My la scala are vintage, upgraded with Bob Crites crossover and tweeter.

I had fortes ii before and really liked them. Unfortunately I don't have corners available for Klipschorns. There's someone near me selling a pair of tekton speakers double impact. If I sell my la Scalas, I would not like to spend more than 3,200. If you have more recommendations please feel free to post it! I'm reading all you guys comments and doing my research about all the speakers that you guys recommended.

 

Thank you!

@tmccarthy if I decide to go with the tekton, I'm going to ask the owner if he can give me a demo before purchase.

@mrdecibel my problem is the la Scalas takes too much room in my new living room, everything just looks cramped.

@erock79 I'm also a Klipsch guy, since I started in the vinyl world, bookshelf speakers, fortes ii, La Scala.

@romano99998 that's what most likely I will do, although I'm open to trying new speakers.

@wolf_garcia Thanks for the tip! I will check on those!

@pennfootball71 I have a rogue tube amplifier, I will check those speakers as well.

 

@richopp thank you for your words, I had fortes ii before (Bob Crites upgraded) and I truly enjoyed! What better brand would you recommend? I couldn't afford 15k speakers set but definitely 3k.

 

@richopp my living room dimensions are 16x20.

I listen classic music, jazz, Frank Sinatra, 80s rock and pop.

As it right now I have Schiit Sol turntable, puffin preamp and rogue audio tube amplifier. Funny that you mentioned I have a set of Magnepan MG-1 restored they sound pretty good! I was thinking about selling it as well. I'm going to check if I can find a local dealer!

 

Cheers

@richopp I follow that person on YT, that's how I found out about Magnepan, he has a video how to restore them, I will give it a shot as soon as I get my living room setup.

@outrider thank you for that Information! 

@aubbrin570 that's what I started leaning towards, there's someone near me selling a pair of Fortes ii, great shape and Bob Crites upgraded. Although I'm going to read about those Zu speakers.

@moose89 I'm glad you enjoyed! I have had Klipsch since day 0.

@michaellent reading about Zu speakers now. Thank you!

@vintage1 thank you for your recommendation!
