I think it’s more than fair to suggest that the Klipschorn and La Scala inspired many a speaker design but who better than to improve on these classics than the original company that made ’em. And I know you know I love a company with history and in the world of loudspeakers, Klipsch is about as classic as it gets. Founded in Hope, Arkansas in 1946, the Klipschorn is the oldest loudspeaker in continuous production worldwide, while the La Scala debuted in 1963. Nearly as old as me.

The older we get, the more difficult it becomes not to compare new things to things we already know. I view this as a kind of curse. A disease. When I first listened to Model/Actriz’s Dogsbody, I found myself digging through the internal filing system I imagine we all keep, landing most resoundingly on “B”. “B” for Bauhaus. The gnarly part about living in comparison mode is it has a real tendency to leave no room, at all, for hearing something new as something new.
