While in college, when I purchased my Heresy's in the mid 80's, the Forte was just released and, despite being WAY out of my budget was a speaker I craved only slightly less than I how I lusted after the LaScalas.
My Mom would have kicked me out had I tried to cram a pair of La Scalas into my room...but Oh boy did I want them!
I still own and use my Klipsch Heresys to this day!
