Klipsch to Introduce New Finish at Audio Advice Live

Klipsch will take part in the Audio Advice Live event on Aug. 1-3 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Published: July 29, 2025

Klipsch states that it will bring fresh energy to its Heritage Series at this year’s Audio Advice Live dealer even on Aug. 1-3 in North Carolina, introducing new designs and technologies that blend performance with modern design sensibilities.

Attendees will experience one of the first public demonstrations of the Heritage La Scala AL6 loudspeaker with optional La Scala Active Crossover—an addition that enables greater system flexibility, tuning, and dynamic range for listeners.

Making its global debut, Klipsch will also unveil a new Red Oak finish on the Heritage Forte IV loudspeakers. Paired with a soft-gray heathered grille, this natural wood tone adds a contemporary, design-forward twist to the Heritage aesthetic. The Red Oak finish is now available exclusively on the Forte IV and Heresy IV models. As Klipsch approaches its 80th anniversary in 2026, the Red Oak finish offers a subtle nod to the milestone, while looking boldly ahead to the future of premium audio.

“Audio Advice Live is the perfect stage to showcase where our Heritage Series is heading,” said Dave Gans, global vice president of marketing, Klipsch. “We’re merging tradition with innovation—giving people the experience of craftsmanship and acoustic excellence combinedwith modern-day versatility and beauty.”
