Belle Klipsch VS La Scalla?

Hello: Back in the 70's I owned both the Cornwalls & the Belles. The Belle's are sonically very simular to the Lascala's (I believe they have the exact same drivers). To be quite honest I felt the Cornwall's were a much more musical speaker than the Belle's, even though they were much less expensive (although I would not classify any Klipsch speaker as musical). You should know the Belles are a terribly bright speaker (Cornwalls too, but not quite as bad). I only kept my Belles for about six month before I became hopelessly fatigued by them & decided to sell. Klipsch uses extremely cheap drivers & internal wiring, even in these relativly high priced speakers. They were good in their day, but for the money you could find a MUCH MUCH better transducer than Klipsch. If you do decide to go with Klipsch, tubes are a must (preferably a little SET) to take away some of that harsh bright presentation. I hate to be negative, but I just think for the money there is so much out there which is leagues above any of these Klipsch models. Don't roll over in your grave Paul. I met Paul Klipsch once. He was kind of a crazy old kook, but none the less a nice guy. You know the real smart type, but way out there if you know what I mean... Good Luck, Sagger
