La Scala's......identify how old?

[Geegz]

Looking at a pair of LaScala's with roached out cabinets. Wondering if anybody can identify how old they could be and what to expect the condition of the drivers could be? I would have to build cabinets anyway so does it make more sense just to build Crites copies with new drivers and crossovers?

We're they in a fire?? You can determine the age by the serial number and a visit to Klipsch's website...

Damn, I paid $1100 for a cherry set with 1 blown tweeter diaphragm ($29)... Those cabs can be refinished. Rebuild the crossovers or replace em... Some guys will but the old crossovers. $1700 will get you a perfect set of CornScala's. I think the LaScala's are only rated for 100 wpc continuous or there abouts.

They used to come in unfinished plywood. The cabs are tough and can be finished nicely

Already finished with new crossovers. AND CHEAPER

Thanks Sniff.....never realized the specs on the LaScalla were only 100 watt continuous. What do the Cornscala's allow continuous?

That's all my K's are rated for...

Bob Crites said 150 continuous on my 3 ways. But, being like 106db @ 1 watt/1 meter, 30 watts will put you hair on end (if you have any left after the builds)...
