Klipsch speakers are man’s most faithful companion!!
I quite agree with you. I have an amplifier with 300B in parallels tubes to drive a pair of Klipsch KLF 20 (100 dB) for years I liked. If I have larger sitting room will buy this classic model.
Hahaha. Watching UA-cam videos on the big screen TV and this popped up. Listening to the video in my man room on some La Scalas I bought new 32 years ago when I was 21 for about 1600 bucks for the pair. It was a ton of money for me at the time but I was in a Audio store in Longview, TX and the guy asked I wanted to hear them. A little 40 watt amp hooked to them and it blew me away. I will never let them go. Classic speakers that never get old. Family heirloom now. I can't wait for some kid to ask one of my great grandkids "where you get those rocking speakers from?" Grandkid will say his great grandpa bought them 70 years ago. I will be gone by then but these La Scalas will carry on. Lol.
I just looked them up, today they cost 12k
Thats cool
Cool story bro !!
You were lucky to find your grail speakers and hang on to them for so long and be satisfied !
Most audiophiles go through speakers like they go through socks 😂
I'm at my 3rd speakers (B&W) and I stopped...using them for 6 years now !
love this. Just copped some in Brownsville , TX secondary market. Don't even want to say what I paid, but its not because it was too much. Listening to this song through them and reading what you wrote brought tears to my eyes. I was seriously considering flipping them on the way over to get them . Not so much since I plugged them in.
I had nearly the same experience
Wow. Amazing sound. Crazy how it even comes through listening on my iPad.
This is why I love Klipsch, even the lower tier speakers - they give you a sense of presence :)
These seem like goosebump central. The presence they have is off the charts!
There is nothing like Klipsch speakers, you have to hear the La Scala speakers to understand how fantastic they are. Even my Klipsch KG4's, going on 40 years old, are excellent
Who can put those speakers in his living room (without divorce I mean) ??
Have to agree, picked up a set of 5.2s overseas for under£100 and was positively surprised. Will look to get a set of the le Scalas in a couple of years.
One of the naturals , speakers around and probably the best there is, Klipsh forever.
That is unbelievable !!! Causes shivers even when listened from youtube. One can simply feel guitar's strings vibrations. Just can't imagine how great it must sound live in that room!
lol more like you'd been duped....
that´s the main diference between vinyl(as they call it now) and the compact disc ,the high quality of this system, for sure makes any source sound fantastic
It sound horrifically resonant on youtube- you can't imagine that this is correct, could you? It sounds like a really loud PA amplifier in a bus station.
These speakers are one of the reasons why I NEED to buy a house. The sound from them is emotionally addictive. A top 5 for my bucket list!
Kg 5.5 are killer if your budget isn't ready. These are definitely top shelf. Good luck!
It's also nice to have somewhere to live.
Just make sure you have a room big enough. I have a decent system but if I had a bigger room I'd be very tempted
My wife dont want me to ☹️ she says its too big
You'll need to sell a house to afford these beauties! 17 K or so.
La Scala, Dire Straits, Sound Sommelier and the Tube Amp - never enjoyed a Music HiFi Video so much !
I know on 2" atmos speaker on my tablet even sounds great. Good separation
Thanks for playing something we would actually play if it was ours.
You're dead on with your comment.
No. I wouldn't play dire straits, and particularly this song, if it was mine. Anyway, knowing wery well this song as most of us do, I'm not particularly impressed by the performance I can hear through my headphones, but that may be exactly because the track doesn't give justice to the class of the speakers, who knows.
@@you2ber252 Get outta here ya numpty.
@@skrem23 Did he though? We could mean he and his partner.
@@you2ber252 Must be bad headphones you have then if you are not impressed :)
Rich, warm, mesmerizing, as though you're there.
This is absolutely miracle, my dream speakers La Scala AL5 and my favourite song " You and Your Friend ", I simply cannot believe this is happening, thank you so much.
Are you the identical twin of "justsomeguytoyou"?
The La Scala is an amazing speaker, always has been. The high sensitivity gives it an effortless sound, and the folded horn design really gives the bass a deep resonance
I run mine on 8 watts of single-ended KT88 bliss.
Resonance is a good thing?
@@ColocasiaCorm It depends on the type of resonance. If it's consistent throughout the entire lower frequency range, then yes, that's a good thing. Now, if there is resonance only within certain frequency ranges, that's very much not good.
@@justsumguy2u im gonna venture a guess that you dont know what you’re talking about.
@@ColocasiaCorm I'm gonna venture a guess that you're an audiophool who believes that things like oxygen-free speaker cables and magical tonearms actually makes a difference in sound. Oh , and don't forget to make sure you have your own clean power source! Can't have any ac ripple or hash in the line, you know....
The crazy huge sound stage that only a mighty speakers can produce. Got to love it.
So pure, its like Mark Knofler is in the room
Horns + valves= m u s i c a l , b i g sound .BRAVO !!!
magnanimo
damn, this is probably the most beautiful sounding from speaker demo I've heard so far!
MY GOD!...sounds absolutely incredible playing on my phone with my b&w headphones! I could only imagine how it sounds in person.
Had the opportunity to listen to these amazing Speakers at my friend's place. Jazz .Sound effect to a next level.
Sounds great thru my I pad
La Scalas have been my love since 1974 when I was teen ager. There is something muddy but deeply inspiring in the 200 - 400 Hz range that I really love and always recognized ll the time with La Scalas, that can be felt also listening here trhough small chinese pc speakers. By the way I own Klipschorns since 1979 and these last are better, but La Scalas are still in my heart, and for many good reasons, anyone can hear here. The soundtrack is also one of my references for outstandng recording quality. Thanks for posting.
Beautiful! I know exactly how nice this sounds. Im listening thru my vintage tube system and 45yo Klipshorns. Doesnt get any better
It certainly doesn’t I’ve had for 10yrs Cornwall’s before that but not tube amp but a Carver amp Amazing
Aim them right at ya hahah
Replace your drivers they will sound twice as good.
@@rongoodman8874 Drivers? Drivers? We need to hook you up with Linux my friend
well that was dumb on my part I bet you were talking about speakers hahaha
Beautiful
thank you :) beautiful audio phases in and out much appriciated
Magical
Очень детальный, естественный звук. Инструменты и голос не мажут друг друга. Великолепная сцена. Очень очень много воздуха.
Звучание потрясает даже на телефоне. Хочется слушать и слушать.
Что значит даже, щас телефоны с 24 битными цап есть, в связке с хорошими наушниками неплохое звучание можно получить, ну естественно далёкое от техники на видео, но даже самые крутые уши на мой взгляд не дадут того кайфа как прослушка через систему, пускай даже ниже качеством, но тактильный отклик музыки решает, особенно инфра или удар в грудь барабанов и т.д.🤔
Да тут звук потрогать можно, очень круто!
Jeden z lepszych jaki słyszałem...
yeah, guys
Eu realmente não tenho palavras para descrever o quão boa essa gravação é. Apenas agradeço infinitamente.
Now that's what Hifi is supposed to sound like IMO! Awesome!
Perfect song for these speakers.
I love how the audio phases in and out as you explore the space. These videos are the truth! Thanks for sharing.
Yes, this is part of the value of listening over youtube. We get to hear how the response rolls off, as you move off axis... we get a sense of the imaging, etc. It's quite useful.
Wonderfully granular without being grating, from what I can hear. This would be like heaven
Mesmerizing!!! A big wave back, to the friendly shadow! Love this channel! Thanks!!!
Absolutely love these. The body and tone from the cross sticking sounds more mic'd than recorded.
Wow, those Klipsch Lascala sound outstanding. That’s a speaker you move only once.
hi, if you want watch my setup :)
Nah just put them on moving dollys and leave em like that.
@@gliamantidelsuono9219 , I’m going to do just that.
@@thomaschippie9057 ,That makes a lot of sense.
Wow......... ! The sound stage is just incredible !!! Like a live performance !!!
my laptop never sounded so good,,,,,wow. those LaScalas are sweeeeet.
Amazing!
Awesome nice tune and amazing speakers.
This has probably been my favorite speaker that I've heard on this channel, God I wish I had the money to get these, they sound beautiful.
I had a pair of LaScalas in the 80's. In the seventies I was invited to Hope Arkansas to do a consultation while the Klipsch BMF theater system was being developed. The Klipsch guys wanted to know if their BMF's could crack the concert sound touring business. I told them the concert sound touring business is built around speaker systems that go in a truck in an efficient manner and most had to be rectangular to use up truck space efficiently. The BMF was not rectangular and except for being used as the PA for the Rainbow Music Hall in Denver, it had little to no impact on the touring sound business. It does have a lion's share of movie theater sound system business. Meeting Paul Klipsch and Bill Moyers was a pleasure. Peter, Paul, and Mary used 4 LaScalas as their PA when they played Radio City Music Hall.
Wow Rainbow music hall. I listened to Montrose there in 1980 or so I forget. But that venue was amazing.
Amazing Sound
This is the BEST CHANNEL for music. You have mastered it Sound Sommelier!! I would love to visit your store someday.
Here's why Sound Sommelier is the best reviewer on UA-cam- He actually demos the real speakers playing real music ........Rest of the UA-cam reviewers- talk only
Tharmabar plays music. So does Thomas. Others too. Inaccurate statement, generalization. But they dont have spaces like this.
@Douglas Blake Of course most folks know that they're not hearing the actual speaker, but it's fun listening to demos and, if well recorded, can I feel give a basic impression of the sound signature of the equipment (especially when listening through headphones).
What mic setup do you use? Does a great job of capturing these.
tharmbarmar whatever is a joke. He’ claims to be an authority and becomes offended if someone doesn’t agree with him. They threw him a little gear and there and he’s trying to be one of the big boys. Thomas otoh comes across as genuine. I don’t know either nor do I care to. If anything it’s all about Darko(sometimes) and @soundsommelier!
@Douglas Blake You are actually hearing a combination of theirs and your speakers. And also you are hearing their acoustics mixed with your acoustics. To get a good sound from UA-cam, listen to different type speakers than yours and with different room acoustics. This recording is so good it nearly sounds like direct feed. Good speakers, good mic and good room acoustics on this particular UA-cam demo! (But not all demos are recorded so well.) I got two completely different types of speakers and if I want to listen to my demos (on my ch) I can use the other type speakers to hear them. My floor standers are different to anything on UA-cam (on my ch) and so they make most speakers on UA-cam sound great.
The best so far.... sounds like Heaven....take a Glass of red wine......
And then the vinyl collection begins...
@@whollymindless offcourse
Sound is great.
The subtle up-lighting is clutch. Love this setup.♥
Sprzęt extra !a kapela ktorą słyszę jeszcze lepsza ! Aż miło ich posłuchać !
Wow! If that is what La Scala horns sound like sign me up. Even over UA-cam it was perfectly palpable and effortless. I get a similar sound with large open baffles using 50 year old alnico drivers. I have never seen the alure of horns as I had only heard them at trade shows. Thanks for this.
Damn, as good as this sounds on my studio monitors I can only imagine how they sound there, WOW. Subbed.
Such a naim nap 500 and preamp 552 with dbl naim speakers aktive can only fly
hi, if you want watch my setup :)
Heck, this sounds beautiful over my phone's speakers!
@@thomasfrank280 and on my Bluetooth speaker via my mobile
And looks amazing as well
Absolutely breathtaking and absolutely beautiful speakers mind tingling sounds
Sound amazing
Spectacular track and the La Scalas sound awesome! So much soul.
Sweet, warm sound of the tubes... Concert like sound of the La Scala...
BEAUTIFUL! VERY EXPENSIVE. 👍🍾
DANG....IS THIS WHAT HEAVEN SOUNDS LIKE.
No. Heaven is a hell of a lot better. This is what Dire Straits sounds like.
No, its what your own speakers/headphones sound like..... think about it.
@@ckmoore101 definitely. This would sound stunning in real life, nothing on UA-cam will fo it justice.
@@russellparker4568 I'll never understand recordings of a speakers output being used for marketing. Same goes for commercials on TV, showing the image/video of a "great picture" of a new TV. I have sat in a room with people, remarking at the "great picture quality" of the TV in the commercial. I was so taken aback by the stupidity of the people in question, I just shook my head.
today i´m going to listen to the first dire straits LP ,on my 76 Pioneer top system with some Pioneer Exclusive 2401 twin, developed by the same engenier that worked for Altec Lansing and JBL(ansing)
I have always loved the La Scala speakers. Over 40 years I have owned 4 sets. Probably the ultimate was a stack pair in the room corners with the Pro woofers. I really miss them.
Big sound!
Sounds stunning! 🥰
And that's with UA-cam trying to ruin it.
@@whollymindless UA-cam usually ruïns less then recording a stereo sound inside a room. They just did an awesome job in recording the sound of those speakers 🔊 🎶
hi, if you want watch my setup :)
In person has to be amazing. Kick ass!
Utter amazing sound, even over UA-cam on my Klipsch X20i headphones. Look gorgeous too.
I like these. Kool.
Hands down the best speakers ever
Guess you have not heard many others? Or you think a lot of PAs are really good?
or maybe the IRS5's at PS Audio.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Geniale Mischung von Musik ,Lautsprecher und Komponenten, Hammer👍👍👍
Moin. Kennst du den interpreten/Song?
Stunning sound even with my headphones Thanks for taking the trouble to make and post this video
First class videos and music choice 🏆
Lovely - Open - Spacious - - a really nice sounding combination - - thanks Sound Sommelier
With my Speakers/Amp sounds like im in the same room.Spot on.☺
La prise de son est magnifique👍👍👍 !
Holy!! What a set of speakers, the added a new dimension to sound. WOW! ! !
Great big sound but not refined.
@@morespinach9832 which one would you recommend
One of my favorite Mark Knopfler solos.
Klipsch are some of the Best speakers in the world. I run a old Marantz 2325 receiver and two k-Hoens up front with a powered M&K sub, in back a pair of Klipsch Belle speakers in a double instuleded room 24x28 and at quarter volume it’s live entertainment ! It rocks ! I’ve had them for 20 years and they still will bring goose bumps up and make your Heart skip at higher volume ! I can’t say enough about how pleased I have been and still am !
That sir is the thing of beauty.. ..
watching/listening to this on my Klipsch R-41PM with a R-120SW. Sounds nice. Just could imagine how it sounds in person. Good stuff man!
the enjoy it brings to your brain and heart when u listen to great music from your amp and speakers is something only those who feel this feeling can only feel.
True. I could literally spend my whole life just sitting there listening to music. Wonder if I would run out of tracks.
My favourite setup.
Regards from Germany.
Klipsch LA SCALA’s + D’angelo “Voodoo” on vinyl = Heaven for me 😩
Nice tip re D'angelo, thanks!
@@naturalverities No problem!
excellent speakers and excellent recording...good mic capture🎶
Stato dell arte... E non potrebbe esserci pezzo migliore per esaltarne le qualità🔝🔝🔝
AWESOME SOUND!!! 😊😊😊
These sound phenomenal....I love my Cornwalls but these are to lust after...LOL
Got a pair of B stock in January. Worth it!
oh boy oh boy... even through my rinkeding PC loudspeakers la sclas sound overwhelmingly fantastic!!! phenomenal!!
When music almost sounds like it is directly fed into your speakers from the source when actually being a recording of the room sound you know those La Scalas do sound great.
The sound is amazing!!!
To me the best thing about this vid is Mark's guitar picking.
Wow, I hadn't heard these before. I listened to a pair of Klipsch Belle's that was fantastic. I did have a pair of Cornwall's in my youth...
You still haven’t heard these and never will in this format. You are hearing what ever you are playing it back on.
Sounds good through my headphones.. Thanks
I actually recently inherited a mint pair from the early 70's. After seeing this video I had to try this, it may be the perfect song for the La Scala's!
Просто улёт!!!
I just ordered mine today! I was also considering Fyne Vintage and JBL 4367. There's something about the LaScala that blows my mind and defies many things considered "audiophile" by the "experts". You have to listen to these beautiful sculpted cabinets to truly understand what they deliver.
Wow. Sounds really good through my iPhone. Imagine in person
Very nice Sound!
Sounds like a concert experience.
What any decent audio system & loudspeaker should be presenting to you!
incredible Sound, awsome..
My 20 euro headset never sounded so good :D
hi man, if you want watch my setup :)
Bless your heart ❤️
Odd... I'm listening to them.. but over my cheap headphones. Seems like they're awesome from this video (I had a buddy with a pair 40 years ago and... I've never stopped being jealous). But again: they only should sound as good as my headphones can replicate.
Buy 20$ KZ iem on Aliexpress
hahhaha. My 13 years old, Zune 80 earphone also feel so good.
Man! Sounds so big and majestic!
... spettacolari‼
