Klipsch La Scala 2018 or the Triangle Cello?

I owned the La Scallas for several months (around 2018). My impressions: LOVED the midrange -Like 'stats on steroids! Bass in general was "polite" the opposite of overwhelming. Can stand up and bark when needed (and your amp has power). Treble was disappointing by modern standards. Easily overloaded, became blurry. May have been my room but my B&W 804D3s (diamond tweeters) are quite happy in the same space. I traded in because of size (big boxes). Finally, Klipsch tries to "hide" the lower cabinet binding posts under the top cabinet. Had to permanently prop up to connect my Wireworld Eclipse 7s due to the plastic medallion they have. Should have put the connections on the back.

If you purchase the La Scala, you will have $3K left over to buy the AudioKinesis Swarm subwoofer system that should provide excellent bass in your room. I have no suggestion to help with the tweeter problem described by dweller but maybe the other Klipsch owners can help with that.

I dont think these speakers share the same goals one bit. Fundamentally different speakers with very different design goals. For my tastes I would go with the Cellos as I am not a fan of much of what horns do except dynamics. Comes down to preference of the type of sound you desire. You can get by with a lower powered amp with the Klipsch, but from what I understand the impedance of these Klipsch drops below 4 ohms which I consider a design flaw for a horn speaker.

Lascala = Fully horn loaded 3 way.......Cello = Horn loaded tweeter down to 2800hz, 2 way, hybrid system ( transmission line mids / bass )........Lascala = 175 lbs, big box......Cello 75 lb slender, beautifully tapered design.......Lascala is 10 db or more efficient......not sure of the tweeter problem mentioned above, as I have never in 50 years heard a tweeter issue with Klipsch Heritage ( maybe wrong electronics, bad crossover component, or improper toe in, which is critical with them, etc. ) The Lascala midrange was always the issue ( a simple horn damping mod ), and as mitch2 mentioned above, a swarm system can be added ( the Lascala can use help with the last octave ). The Lascala bass is amazingly fast, tight, and tuneful, and remains coherent, into the midrange. As mentioned above, 2 somewhat different animals. Can you guess which way I lean ? Enjoy, be well and stay safe. Always, MrD.

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