No idea if they were used in "The Loft" but in 1970 there were only a couple of choices for a commercial application from Klipsch. It is very possible that they used La Scalas which had a professional version and were frequently used in clubs for their high SPLs. Why don't you audition some instead of worrying about trying to replicate something exactly. You can get K-horns or a new Variant of the La Scala to this day. The efficencies are are still 104Db/W/M, they would make good club P.A.s I'm sure.
Klipschorn-Klipsch-The Loft NYC
I am no audiophile expert - but i do care immeasurably for music and strive to present it in its most natural form within my dancespace. I am considering purchasing a pair of Khorns for use in a 10m square room - concrete floor and walls - the space is a dance space and high volume is essential...clarity taking precedence over bass extension.
I would be very grateful to anyone who could confirm that these are the same model Klipsch that David Mancuso & Alex Rosner used at the legendary 'Loft' in NYC during the 70s/80s.
I would also be very grateful to anyone willing to give me advice in terms of amplification: I am considering restoring a couple of giant Manley Monoblocs (i need to purchase the valves)
many thanks - Dominic (London)
