Hello folks,
Brand new to the forum, but I've been lurking around here for awhile. I've just purchased a pair of 70's Black LaScala unloaded boxes. I am intriqued by the following for these speakers, and although I am not a builder or anything, as a piano technician, I am interested in the structure and design of the folded horn. I decided to buy unloaded cabinets primarily because I can't afford to spend a lot, but rather want to "piece by piece" assemble a respectable pair of speakers.
I don't have any other klipsch drivers, but I do have 2 mid range horns from a Seeburg jukebox that are the same size and material. I don't know if they'll be suitable. I'll be looking for crossovers, and drivers for these cabinets. any advice would be very greatly appreciated. I don't have the greatest amp in the world, it is an older Luxman, the one that had the 2 tube output built in the early 90's.
I live in Canada, and that has proven to be a huge obstacle because shipping 125 lb's of speakers would have been extremely expensive, however, individual components are not that bad. I was fortunate to find these cabinets in Canada, and the shipping empty was only $180 for the pair through Fedex.
I've been reading a lot of the other posts, and man you guys have a lot of knowledge, and some pretty fine equipment. Any advice for loading these cabinets and suggestions for driving them would be much appreciated.
