Angeboten wird „La Scala AL5“ von Klipsch als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Standlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 1746549858 endet am 24.08.2026 um 16:42 Uhr.
The Klipsch La Scala AL5 is a revered, horn-loaded three-way floorstander renowned for its explosive 105dB sensitivity and jet-engine dynamic range, making it a pinnacle of domestic classic Klipsch design. This €9,990 listing is a strong bargain, sitting just below the 25th percentile (€9,991) of recent EUR comparable asking prices and well under the median of €10,063. Given the new retail price hovers around €14,000–€15,000 (converted from £12,000 and $13,198), securing a "good" condition unit with cables and accessories at this price represents an excellent entry into high-end horn loading.
The AL5’s primary upside is its ability to deliver massive volume with minimal amplifier power, a trait inherited from the lineage dating back to 1963 but refined with the modern K-771 tweeter and Tractrix horn for a more domesticated sound. At this price point, the inclusion of original cables and accessories adds significant value, removing the usual hassle of sourcing compatible high-current interconnects for these drivers. With no red flags in the listing description and a price that defies the typical used market floor, this is a genuine buying opportunity for an enthusiast seeking legendary dynamics without the new-speaker markup.

Founded in 1946 in Hope, Arkansas, Klipsch traces its roots to Paul W. Klipsch, a visionary audio engineer and maverick who handcrafted his first speakers in a tin shed behind a dry cleaner. Patented in 1945, the revolutionary Klipschorn corner horn loudspeaker embodied his quest for live-like sound reproduction, drawing from Bell Labs principles to deliver wide frequency range and expansive soundstaging. This American pioneer shook hi-fi foundations, blending acoustic innovation with unyielding craftsmanship, and registered Klipsch & Associates to bring that tin-shed magic to the world.
Klipsch excels in loudspeakers, from flagship horn-loaded models like the enduring Klipschorn to high-fidelity enclosures, drivers, and complete systems for home audio, public address, and even personal computers. While deeply rooted in speakers, the brand has expanded into headphones and music systems, maintaining a focus on efficient, dynamic designs that prioritize clarity and power without excess amplification needs.
Renowned for its heritage-driven efficiency and bold, live-performance sonics, Klipsch holds a commanding mid-to-high-end position in the market, appealing to discerning buyers who value American-made authenticity over mass-market compromise. Neither purely vintage collector bait nor niche boutique, it bridges classic horn technology with modern reliability, earning cult status among audiophiles chasing that bigger, clearer sound Paul Klipsch first chased in 1946.
