Klipsch Unveils Global Debut of Red Oak Finish and New Tech at Audio Advice Live 2025

Legendary Heritage Series loudspeakers featured in must-hear two-channel demo

July 29, 2025 (Indianapolis, IN) — Klipsch brings fresh energy to its iconic Heritage Series at this year’s Audio Advice Live, introducing new designs and technologies that blend premium 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—a breakthrough addition that enables greater system flexibility, precision tuning, and dynamic range for discerning listeners.

Making its global debut, Klipsch will also unveil a striking 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 celebrated 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, Klipsch’s Global Vice President of Marketing. “We’re merging tradition with innovation—giving people the experience of craftsmanship and acoustic excellence combinedwith modern-day versatility and beauty.”

Also on display will be the new KS-12 speaker stands, ideal for use with Heresy IV. Constructed from durable, low-maintenance metal with a finish resistant to dust and fingerprints, the KS-12 stands elevate speakers by 12 inches—ideal for optimized, seated listening and precise soundstaging.

Visit the Klipsch exhibit in the Willow Oak room at Audio Advice Live 2025 for hands-on demos, expert insight, and a preview of what’s next in high-performance audio.
