I am going to try to move them to the house in the next day or so and I'll take a bunch of photos to post. I gotta find someone to help me move the Altecs and some Martin Logans out so I can move the Klipsch in...

A few pictures after getting the La Scalas FINALLY to the house. They are really great sounding, and certainly do not look like the worn out battered and road weary cabinets I drug back from Florida a few summers ago. They still have the reminders of their travels, but they now carry a black gloss finish that makes them rook really nice. The tweeters are amazing, the woofer is Crites stamped version of the 1526, and the midrange drivers came from Lee, where, at some point in life, they had been in some SpeakerLab K's. I think they were in his K's until he upgraded to the 2" BMS compression driver. The midrange horns also came from Lee, and are some composite material, the type I can't tell ya.

And Al's crossovers are doing a FINE job. He has really hit the design out of the park. He made these specifically with a 600 hz midrange point, instead of the typical 400hz, for the La Scala. I would love to see the in-room FR graphed, so I could see how they fare.

The sound? Impressive and forceful, detailed and balanced. The ONLY complaint I have, is that they sound a little chesty, or boxy. I can't really put my finger on it, but I know the K's sound much more effortless. These bad boys can play LOUD, and you can feel them in your chest. And they remain balanced through any volume level, and from top to bottom in frequency response. I think that had I done the "doghouse mod" and used the Traxix horn and BMS midrange driver, I would have been totally satisfied, but then I couldn't be dreaming of K's. Plus, these babies deserved to be restored to their original designed form. I just couldn't bring myself to chop them.

If anyone can find a pair of these guys somewhere--go for it. You will not be disappointed.

[laatsch55]

With the phone on its side turn off screen rotation and see what happens ..

 

[ksrigg]

It is off. It's driving me nuts. I'll figure it out somehow...

 

[laatsch55]

Way too many options for a phone or camera huh??

 

[ksrigg]

I should use my camera to take pictures and my phone for making phone calls, and my computer for web surfing. NAAA, let's just use one device to do it all.

Then your living a compromise..
