The La Scala design is vintage 1963, and the current version is called the La Scala II. Paul W. Klipsch created it as a public address speaker for Winthrop Rockefeller, who was running for governor of Arkansas at the time. The design caught on, it came to be viewed as a comparatively portable and affordable variation of the company's flagship Klipschorn, thanks to how good it sounded. It is a high-sensitivity speaker that is capable of generating 105 dB with a single watt of power, so a little bit of amplification goes a long way..
These speakers are not for price sensitive shoppers. A pair of 70th Anniversary Cornwall will set you back $6,000, while a pair of the limited edition La Scalas retails for $14,000. Both models will be available at authorized retailers and through Klipsch.com as of October 2016.

horrible to think these Heritage types would cost those sums of money. Back in the 1970's I would imagine a PD5 type mid driver, K33 and K77/T35 to have a combined retail value of around $160 -> $200.

It would be a shame to replace these speakers with something else, IMHO!
