I tried that before i opened them up and realized that the woofers were different to the touch. Well I already took these by bob crites house (I am also from Arkansas) and he said they were probably toast. So he traded me out for his k-33 replacements (since i am using them for home use). Thanks everyone and thanks Bob. Ryan

Thanks for the information. So I lied and I have not pulled the woofer out yet but it is on my list of todos. I knew when purchasing these speakers that one of the tweeters was out so it was not a surprise when there was another issue, but I got a deal so I cannot complain. Hopefully I will have the woofer out by sunday or so and can diagnose the problem. Ryan

I am fairly new to the forum and to klipsch speakers. I just bought a pair of industrial la scalas, and there seems to be something wrong with one of the woofers, so I am defering to the wisdom of the forum. The woofer that seems to be messed up does not make any buzzing or rattling noises that I would associate with a blown woofer, but is much quieter than the other. I initially thought it might be the crossovers but since mine are splits I was able to switch out the tops and verify it was simply the woofer (unless there is another crossover in the woofer bin that I cannot find). So I opened up the woofer bins to look at these bad boys. I noticed that when I tapped the cones that the working one reverberated while the broken one sounded dead and flat. Cosmetically the cones look fine to me. I plan to take the woofers all the way out today, but as of yet I have not. I have the k-43s if that is relevant information. Any help to diagnosing this problem would be greatly appreciated. Ryan

Thanks!! That is very helpful.

Yeah, I have been looking at that, but I was hoping there might also be a pdf floating around. Also, what information (other than the week and year produced) can be had from the S/N. The tops are: 8432596 8432809 And bottoms: 8432677 8432810 I know that this means they were made the 32nd week of 1984 (unless I am mistaken) and obviously the last two are in sequence, but is there any other significant information specific to these. Thanks

I just bought a pair of 1984 la scala pro splits. I was wondering if anyone has a pdf of the manual (if there is one) because the previous owner did not have any literature. Thanks.

So I have been planning to buy some regular home audio heresys, but while in new mexico I found a set of professional la scalas on sale. The cabinets are in mediocre shape and the tweeters are blown, but the guy is only asking $500 (and I think I could get them for even less). He used these for djing for 25 years. I was able to listen to them but it was in his garage so not the ideal conditions, but they sounded good to me. Is this too good a deal to pass up or should I just wait for some cornwalls or heresys to come my way? Also, any ideas on a way to make them more presentable (the coat is peeling)? Thanks for any advice.
