  1. Thanks both Daddy Dee and Islander. Will research into your advice. Getting Bob Crites for advice and quote on shipping the components. Going to speak to a local cab builder who does speaker stuff for Diyers. It will be sometime and see how it all work out.
  2. Dadd y Dee, Thanks for the intro. Had emailed Bob Crites and liasing with him to see how best to ship the components to Singapore. Guess I have to DIY a pair of the La Scala. Hope the costs is not too pricy.
  3. Thanks, Daddy Dee. Trying to catch up with my woodworking friend to see if he is interested to do the job for me. Thought US Navy comes to Singapore very often. Just trying my luck. If happen anyone knows of someone's son or friend in the Navy coming here. I am willing to pick up a pair (preferably black) from him. Willing to pay him for the trouble too. I understand tax free if declared as personal item for his personal comsumption. Sorry bros, for cracking my nuts.
  4. This is the best of the best guy ( with exhaustive photos & lots of good patience ) I come across in my quest for a pair of Speakers on the net. Wish you well in your sale, my loss.
  5. Thanks Marvel, Mustang guy, CECAA850. and all forum members for all your inputs. Marvel, wow......... fantastic 3-D illustrations. Will show inputs to my wood-working boss friend to see how he can help. I dont have all the necessary tools and workshop space. I did contracting works,plumbing, aluminium and glass works. But never did woodworking except in school's technical days. Yes, I suspect it is UPS that I was quoted for the freight charges. Well, getting the horns, drivers and cross-overs thru ebay may be a challenge too. Someone just post his whole heritage lot for sale. Hooi, how I wish he stays in Singapore. I will pay him what he is asking for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sigh..................................
  6. Damn, how I wish you are from Singapore.
  7. anyone with specs to DIY one la scala clone??? I mean for the wood work. Thanks.

    A fond farewell

    John, take heart. All are with you. I lost my dad and my elder sister to cancer too. Being Buddhist, we believe this life we are living is but a journey passing by, knowing great people like you and me.within this forum, where there in no boundary. I done my scope last November. Encourage all to think about doing it. Live our life to our fullest, and not forgetting to enjoy good music, with Klipsch fanatics like you, you and you......... God bless you.......................
  9. Hello to all, got a friend who is in the import/export business to help quote shipping charges and was in for a shock................ Checked and found out Corporate rate for freight and was shocking............... Base on volumetric weight around 480kg @8.48 per kg. (Crate= Length X Breath X Height) approximately 200cm by 120cm by 100cm. Work out to be around $4,070.00 Sing dollar. ( US and/or Canada ) Not including local handling charges, S'pore handling charges, airport terminal charges Tax etc etc... Estimated to come to about $5,000.00 Sing dollar. That is not including the speakers costs and crate costs. Shipping, forget about it. More hidden charges bill only 1 to 2 months down the road after recieving the goods. And more risks. Wow.........................................................
  10. Thanks all for your encouragements.Looking out for a pair, and see how the freight work out then. Thanks again.
  11. Hi, I am new here although I joined since 2006. From Singapore and being using Klipsch KG 5.2 for my main since1990s. running it currently with Sansui tube amp cum Denon CD player. Mods and tweaks to give me added bass and more depth. Played all sort of music and LOUD!!!!!!!! Have a vintage Telefunkun tube amp on stand-by and hope to play warm music with a pair of La scala someday. Had been following on and fell in love with Klipsch La scala sound through mostly youtube clips. Would very much love to own a pair to replace my KG 5.2 But it seems a big challenge to have them ship from United States. The costs involved may be a deterrent. As I have read Klipsch craze lovers driving 500 miles to pick up their ideal pairs, I hope to be crazy enough to ship one pair back to Singapore. Hopefully the seller if there comes by, willing to help with the shipping matters and inconvenience. Thanks for reading
