Stack 'em! Wow---never thought of that! Do I dare try it? Has anybody on here done that? Would you put the top one upside down, so the tweeters are close together? Hmmmm

Thanks so much for the advice! I have 2 pairs of Scalas right now---in all 4 corners of my living room. Was gonna sell one pair....but I love them both! They both date from 1976---one is the industrial black and the other is beautiful wood. Which is better: steak or roast beef? Cant decide!

I have a pair of Industrial LaScalas (black, not split) and would like to get at the woofers. I assume you access them from the bottom--am I right? Is there anything I need to know about unhooking them? One of them seems to have developed a rattle on certain low organ notes, and I want to check it. Thanks!

All of your comments were very helpful; I thank you all for taking the time to help me. Sending a special thanks to speakerfritz! --Tom

lowest stuff I run through the system would be some pipe organ cds---no movies I like to run them at the level you would hear live; thats one of the things I love about the Scalas---they play loud without distortion...and...they sound electrostatic at low levels!

I recently bought a pair of "professional" LaScalas (the black ones with the handles), and I'm using a Yamaha RXV2090 receiver with them. The Yamaha has a feature called "bass extension", which adds 7 db at 70 Hz. I have been using that feature, and I love how the Scalas sound with the added bass boost. My question is: could use of that boost cause problems for the woofer? I have been told probably not by a couple of Klipsch authorities, but I would love to get the opinions of some of you. Many thanks!

Ah-Ha! A pic is truly worth a thousand words! Thanks very much, Islander!

Many thanks for the explanation. I'm gonna have to read that over few times!

I have had my 1979 Scalas for a few weeks now, and I love 'em---no updates yet--don't feel the need for any so far. Could someone tell me how the woofer works? Does it fire into the "V" and then out the space in the back? Its a bit of a mystery to me. Thanks.

Don, my thanks to you and all who responded!

Yes, as you suggest, I will try to rearrange things to accommodate shorter ics. My system -at the moment, anyway-is Modsquad passive dual volume linedrive (Steve M. modified); Janis crossover; Acoustat TNT 200 modified by Jim Strickland----and---my beloved LaScalas---and a couple of subwoofers made by a friend inside round builders tubes (sound awesome!)

No, actually I mean between my active crossover and my amp---I was using some old Kimber and Monster, but with my new setup neither is long enough anymore.

I need almost 4 meters of interconnect cables that will let my LaScalas continue to sound good. What do you guys like? I dont have a lot of $$ to spend on this.... Thanks.

I will call them today and order their cable, based on your recommendation. If its at least as good as Anti-Cable, but easier to work with, I'll be happy! Many thanks to you and all the others!

I figure I will need around 20 ft.
