Klipsch La Scala replacement?

Tocaro. Fast, sensitive, Ultra Musical. Enjoy

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.

Lascalas are 24 inches wide. That is 4 ft of wall space needed for the two of them. What dimension ( s ) are the Lascala to large? Damp the horns, and they will be considerably cleaner. Other speakers ( B & W as an example), do not sound dynamic in the way the Lascala does, needs a beefier amp to get them going, and needs room around them to image / sound proper. I have installed Lascalas in many peoples homes, with excellent results. I am a Klipsch Heritage guy, and I can help you, if you have the 4 ft of wall space to place them. My best, MrD.

I have never owned La Scalas, but I love my Fortes… have III’s and IV’s.  The IV’s are a step up over the III’s imo, especially in the midrange. The Fortes sound excellent with tube and vintage SS. They are at a fair price point, although I believe Klipsch’s recent price increases are excessive, especially considering that some of their drivers are made inexpensively.
