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 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.

Hi, I have owned Klipsch and B&W 804s. In my taste, your are at the two extreems. Both great, but so different. Have you ever demoed Revels? But if you already like horns, stay with them. Fortes are great, I have a pair right now, and use them often...

 

Hood luck ob your search...

Heresy IIIs sound better to me having compared them to IVs in my system...the mid horn is far simpler (a complete re-design without the interesting horn throat design the IIIs have) in the IVs and has a plastic diaphragm instead of titanium. They're also cheaper if you can find them. 

What amp? 
get a pair of Amphion speakers they crush Klipsch and similar pricing

@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.
