The passive crossovers limit Klipschorns, in my experience. Since LaScalas and Belles are identical except for bass extension I expect active crossovers will deliver a similar improvement.

The high frequency harshness and midrange glare disappeared. There's no need to choose blunt sounding electronics to compensate. A digital crossover enables inter-driver time alignment which is significant in this family of speakers with path length differences measured in feet. Imaging snaps into focus.

I appreciate this isn't advice easily accepted, but the speakers are in my opinion worth it. PWK knew what he was doing, but he did it 50 years ago and didn't have the advantage of microelectronics.
