Who doesn't remeber Zippy! Brings back memories...and how about those Fabulous Freak Brothers! Paul Klipsch was a true pioneer in the loudspeaker revolution and you can't go wrong with the investment but you better have a team of healthy friends to help transport the La Scalas. I personally have 4 Hersery's and have owned one pair since 82 and the others since 99 with no problems, I have used them as playback monitors in my recording studio for years with nothing but accolades from musicians and friends alike. Klipsch speakers are true to sound reproduction in my opinion....for what it's worth.
