(July 29, 2025) Klipsch is throwing a spotlight on its storied Heritage Series at Audio Advice Live 2025. With its 80th anniversary on the horizon, the brand is leaning into the future while honoring its legacy, introducing a mix of new finishes, cutting-edge technology, and a focus on system flexibility.
According to Dave Gans, Klipsch’s Global Vice President of Marketing, the goal is clear: “We’re merging tradition with innovation—giving people the experience of craftsmanship and acoustic excellence combined with modern-day versatility and beauty.”
One of the event’s standout demos features the new Heritage La Scala AL6 loudspeaker (MSRP: $15,399/pair) paired with the La Scala Active Crossover ($3,499/each). The active crossover brings expanded tuning control and precision to Klipsch’s iconic folded-horn design. This full system is driven by Onkyo’s forthcoming Icon Series components, including the P-80 preamplifier ($1,999), three M-80 power amplifiers ($1,999 each), and the C-30 CD player ($349).
Another show highlight is the debut of a Red Oak finish for the Forte IV loudspeakers ($5,499.98/pair). Paired with a soft-gray heathered grille, the new look adds a contemporary twist to the Heritage aesthetic. The finish is exclusive to the Forte IV and Heresy IV and signals Klipsch’s evolving design language as the company approaches its 80th year. The Forte IV is being demoed with Onkyo’s new Icon A-50 integrated amplifier (MSRP: $1,599).
Also on display is the new KS-12 stand ($474.99/pair), shown with a static Heresy IV speaker. Built from durable metal with a low-maintenance finish that resists dust and fingerprints, the stand raises speakers by 12 inches to optimize seated listening height and soundstaging.
All demonstrations and displays can be found at the Klipsch exhibit, located in the Willow Oak room at Audio Advice Live.
