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!

I disagree if you are familiar (in person) with some of the speakers being compared.

I would not purchase speakers solely on a YT video, but do find  some of the videos to be helpful.

The last speakers I auditioned sounded better @ the dealer VS the 3 decent YT videos I listened to, but I found that I did not care for the way they looked up front and close.

I live in Los Angles so auditioning (aside from Covid) is not a big problem.

If you really like your Lascalas, most other designs will fall short of the performance horns bring to the table. I’d suggest taking a look at the Forte IV.

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!

I'd suggest going to hear the nearby Double Impacts. Don't know if they'll fully replace the LaScalas, but the DIs have a big, bold sound that may do the trick.
