Why do I want to take a look? My fourm name may give you a hint.... The critters got loose and did their own little inspection of the speakers and they haven't sounded right since. I hope I am just being paranoid... Q1) It is my understanding that there is no grill cloth or other barier to protect the speakers... the critters could just navigate the maze (that my arm and mirror can not) and gain access to the outer surface of the cone... Can someone verify this before I needlessly tear into them... Q2) What does a new pair of kilpschhorns cost these days? I couldn't afford them back when I settled on the la scalas.... Probably still can't but I would like to know (go ahead, dash the dreams of an over aged adolescent!). Thanks

I would like to inspect the woofers on my 15+ year old la scala's.... Tried using a mirror and a flash light... no luck there.... so, what is required to get a look at them? My next step would be to unscrew all of the screws from the bottom of the unit and see if the bottem would come off easely.... Is that what has to be done? Is it glued as well as screwed? Will doing this adversly affect the speakers? Thanks.
