I bought a couple of these speakers (see attached photo) two years ago, but not sure about any details/history. Serial # 52S244 is located along the top edge on the back of the cabinet. Dimensions are Height- 21", Width- 15", Depth- 13". They sound good for small speakers, and when a subwoofer is added they sound real good! Any details/information would be appreciated. Here's wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas/Holiday season!...I hope to hear back from you soon! David Spikes Aiken, South Carolina

Are you still looking for La Scala industrial splits? I may be selling my pair of 1986 La Scala, with Anvil road cases included....Let me know if you're still looking...Attached are photos....

Did Paul Klipsch ever produce a paper/analysis on the difference between tube and solid state amps when using Klipschorn or LaScala speaker systems? I'm getting on up there in age, now (turned 70 in July) and I'm not sure that my ears would be able to tell the difference should I decide to add a tube amp to my system. I feel if I'm ever going to have my "dream system" I've got to start building it soon!....Would love to know what Paul Klipsch had to say about the difference. Also, where do I start looking for a reasonably priced tube amp for my LaScala industrials? David Spikes

I have a non-functioning K-77 tweeter (SN- 123663) that I'd like to give to someone that could either repair it, or use it in a display of some sort. It appears in good condition, but does not function when hooked up to an amplifier. Just contact me via email (davidspikes@hotmail.com) and tell me how you plan on using this item. Please include your contact information (phone number and email address). All I ask is that you pay for the shipping. I have an Electro-Voice tweeter, model T-35, in the same condition...Looks fine, but doesn't work. I'd be happy to include this tweeter, as well. So, if you're willing to work on these, or just display them, let me know... I look forward to hearing from you soon.

So, I'm trying to get an idea of how much my "dream speaker system" would cost,...just in case I win the Mega Lotto sometime soon. What would it take to purchase the systems displayed in the attached photo?....and what about the costs of powering this dream setup?...Then, of course, I'll need to build a house that will effectively house this!...A man's gotta dream!!!!

I have a pair of industrial La Scala speakers, and was wondering about the history of this particular model of La Scala. When were they first produced, and how many were manufactured? I rarely see any being sold...I know I'll never part with mine, but I'm curious about how rare they are. Any information would be appreciated. Regards, H. David Spikes Aiken, SC

I've got a couple of industrial La Scalas, and would like to clean them up a bit...What's the best way to clean the surfaces? I have (for lack of a better term) the "Rhino liner" surfaces with aluminum trim. Not using them much outside anymore, so I'd like to clean them up for my "man cave"!

Makes me cry just lookin' at the photos of this system! Gotta be a great sound coming out of them...

I've got a couple of Klipsch Heresy speakers (about 15 years old) in almost mint condition that I unfortunately need to sell (retirement, relocation, downsizing, etc.). Would love to know what I should expect to get for them if I post them for sale on ebay. Would love to sell them locally, but I fear finding a buyer in the Aiken, SC/Augusta, GA area will be difficult. Suggestions for selling them via an alternative method would be appreciated, as well. Your feedback is appreciated. Regards, H. David Spikes

I'll take the two new ones...Send me an email (davidspikes@hotmail.com) with your name and mailing address and I'll get a check to you right away...Thanks! HDS

Got a couple of old industrial Klipsch Hereseys with tweeters blown out..Tested the wiring to insure it's the tweeters and not the connections, and confirmed the tweeters are history. Found a couple on e-bay for $99 (advertised as new) and was wondering if anyone knew of a better source/price. Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks for all the feedback on the stage of my industrial LaScalas...The good news is that I have them in heavy-duty, almost airtight coaster mounted cases...so the mice issue is nul & void...As soon as I get my sidewalk to my basement "cave" finished off this summer they'll go back to where they belong,...cranked up in my guy "cave"!

I have two industrial LaScalas (vintage 1984) that I've been keeping in my basment...Nice and cool and dry...But now, I've got to store them in the garage for awhile, and I'm concerned about possible damage to the beauties. I have caster/roller cases for the base cabinets, but was wanting to know what, if any damage I'm doing by keeping them in the garage. I live in Annapolis, MD, so the summers aren't devastatingly hot, but my garage is not air conditioned, and outside temps can get into the 90's come mid-summer. Advice/warnings/suggestion from those with insight and knowledge, please! David

Unfortunately, I've got this thing called "work" that prevents me from devoting the time I'd like to blast through Toole's book quickly...and the chores around the house seem to suck the time right outta my life, too. I hope to get through this book and the other great technical papers suggested by those on this Forum in the coming weeks. Geez, I wish I'd paid more attention in physics and math classes! Would have made understanding what I'm reading so much easier....Perhaps in my next life I'll return with a bit more brain power and focus on the things I love, instead of this "work" gig! Thanks, David

Thanks so much for the info about the "PA Bible"....Yes, I was able to find the papers at the EV website and download them, and they appear to be at about my level of techical compreshension...thank goodness! David
