Anyone interested in Quads would probably run shreiking in the
opposite direction is they heard the Klipsches. IMO, Klipsches need a
low-powered amp to shave off some of that aggressive, forward sound.


Anyone without room for Quads won't have room for La Scalas.


Although with Klipsches, you can push them against a wall.


Especially those corner-horns.

Quads need to be well out into the room.


Mine do okay close to the sidewalls, which is good because otherwise I
couldn't walk between them.

?Electrostats are way preferable to maggies IMO if you have the right
amps.


Maggies can be preferable to ESLs if you have the right amps, too.


Some people like them both.


I certainly do. We had some Maggie 1.6s a few months ago and it's
amazing what they accomplish for $1800. And I've grown rather fond of
Martin Logan.


I really like what I've heard from the Summit. I guess CLX design
elements are trickling down to new products.
