Know before you buy
Yes, these are passive speakers and do not have a built-in amplifier. You will need to connect them to a high-quality external amplifier or receiver to power them.
While the La Scala AL5 is more compact than other Heritage series models, it is still a large, floorstanding speaker. It is best suited for dedicated listening rooms where you have enough space to allow the horn-loaded sound to fully develop.
Absolutely. With their 3.0 channel capability and support for surround sound formats like Dolby Digital, they provide a powerful, immersive front-stage experience for high-end home theater systems.
The walnut finish is a natural wood veneer. To keep it looking its best, simply dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or placing the speakers in direct, prolonged sunlight.
No, these speakers are not waterproof or weather-resistant. They are designed exclusively for indoor use in climate-controlled environments.
The horn-loaded design increases the efficiency of the speaker, allowing it to produce high-output, dynamic sound with very little distortion. This results in a highly detailed, lifelike audio presentation that is a hallmark of the Klipsch Heritage series.
