Check out the viewsonic pro8200. I have it in my living room driving an approximately 120" screen and it does it very well for an $800 projector.

I have a '62 without reverb and is 1x12. The thing is pure magic. Someone has to jump on this!

I have a couple of K77 tweeters from my lascalas that I'd be willing to part with. PM me an offer if interested. Matt

Sounds like you are thinking about what is commonly referred to as a "CornScala". If you search the forum, you'll find lots of information on them. I built a pair several years ago, and I'm ecstatic with them. Also see this link: http://www.critesspeakers.com/cornscala.html The key dimensions are: 6.59 cu. ft. internal volume 50 sq. in. port 9 in. port shelf Matt

Yeah, even with the limited time I have comparing, I would recommend it. I need to spend more time tweaking the length and sealing the top chamber to get the most out of the mod. It should be noted that I went with the plywood port just because I had some laying around. PVC seems like it would be super simple and clean. Matt

Ya know - I was wondering the same thing. It works just fine. Are these fluid filled at all? If not, I'm guessing something got spilled on top and happened to go in the front where the tweeter mounts.

Yeah, that's half the fun is trying things out. I'll probably break out the saw to shorten the ports eventually. My (limited) understanding of ports was that it was just the area. I haven't seen a detailed scientific analysis of the port size for this type of mod - but I'm sure it exists. Anybody have a link?

Bruce, I used the same area as 4 inch diameter ports. I went with 10" deep because I saw people using in the range of 7-10", with the thought that I can always cut it down if I need/want. Matt

Hehe, aren't they awesome looking? They are residing in my basement/workshop right now, so probably nothing as far as restoration right away.

Update: I installed the ported covers. No graphs, but a marked improvement in bass - highly recommended mod, especially when it's as easy as it is with my speakers.

Thanks, guys! I picked them up yesterday. They aren't in as bad condition as I thought based on the pics from the seller. Someone took standard LaScalas and turned them into gigging PA speakers. They covered them in carpet and put corner guards on. I have posted some pics in this thread: http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/170092.aspx

Ported back cover. The glue is drying now. I can't wait to try these bad boys out and see what a difference it makes!
