the scalas all pretty much have the same sound except the La scala Industrial which handle more power -good luck -there are a few places for purchasing capacitors in Montreal -

more pictures can help us - first you must listen to the speakers and see if they suit you - depending on how old you are - you will either like them or hate them -since you have to do the repairs - the seller must account for this -all in all a 250$ rebate is in order to repair the cabs and upgrade the crossovers - -Scalas are for classical - jazz , , dance music is not their mission - -1979 Scala is the AA crossover , about 100$ to upgrade - not including labour - capacitors last 20 years on average -the rest of the compoents - can still be ok -but you would have to check them with an ohmmeter - - the woofer is a k33 - 4ohms - the midrange K55V 16ohms - the tweeter K77 Alnico -round diaphragm -8ohms - for 1000$ US or 1200$ CAN $ -you should expect a pair in good cosmetic shape and in working order -

Altec VOT really maxed out in the 70's as huge halls were the norm - by the mid eighties - they were gone , too big - too monstruous - the biggest sub man ever built was the A4 - -the staff used to sit in the cab to feel the bass -it would rattle the fillings out of your teeth

the replacement is a factory refurbished equivalent model - now that can mean a repaired factory unit - or can also be a brand new product -one can easy tell once the product arrives -

429$ on ebay -http://www.ebay.com/itm/2014-YAMAHA-2D-3D-WiFi-Multi-Zone-All-Region-Code-Free-DVD-Blu-Ray-Disc-Player-/331475919652?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d2d812324

I have an identical pair - K33E -K55V-K77 ALNICO - really nice and priced relatively low for the condition - someone grab these as they are mint -

Are they still for sale? I am getting the Jubs next week , they are very impressive , it was either getting k-Horns and spending money to upgrade them , or the Jubilees that are in a class of their own -

quick question - why switch to tubes now - what were you using so far - if I am asking it's because I have Cornwalls myself and your questions are a mirror -

PM me pictures and I will get back with you to tell you what you have - 100% original - electrovoice and the last batches made -

here is the reverse side of the diaphragm with the screen and the connectors as they mount over the horn - once aligned with the positive and negative - screw in four screws - no soldering at all - this guy calls it by it\s right name -factory k77 F diaphragm - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-La-Scala-Factory-K-77-F-Tweeter-Horn-Diaphragm-Faceplate-Assembly-127126-/151254367672?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2337767d

life is too short -

It has to do with Randy's quote about being something wrong with them because the price was low. My point was, just because the price is cheap doesn't mean that there is something wrong with the speakers. right on , just like a guy last year , who won this huge lottery - http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/04/02/california-lottery-official-sole-winner-425m-february-powerball-jackpot-comes/

pure copy , right down to the badge - no imagination - $2 less than a pair direct from the Klipsch factory! Tempting - i recently heard a pair of Jubilees - barely used - 5k$ - really nice - and by the way - Mike at House of Klipsch has a pair of 60th khorns - I wonder what these will go for -

pure copy , right down to the badge - no imagination -

a bit of reading info - one page -http://www.rothwellaudioproducts.co.uk/html/the_truth_about_passive_pre-am.html

Pictures can help me give yoiu the info - were they in EV boxes with the ev logo -if you have the box , it can help as well

no comparison -these are 1 inch MDF -

PM me pictures and I will get back with you to tell you what you have -

they had discontinued the Cornwall to be replaced by the Chorus 2 -a phenomenal speaker - k 61horn tractric with k53 - the K79 tweeter - the passive woofer -- k48 8ohms used in all the KP units - http://www.klipsch.com/chorus-ii-floorstanding-speaker

yes - M = 74 , But did you see the crossovers -are these actual for 74 http://www.klipsch.c...eritage-minutia

point well taken

point well taken

I hope radiator heat won't warp the wood, if it's active. my point exactly

big time - indeed

I was referring to the 20$ diaphragms for the k77 on ebay - do you have a source for 40$ k77 diaphragms that dont sound dreadful - if you do - can you kindly share it with us -On that note has does one identity the real deal vs a knock off. there are no originals diaphragms any longer being made by EV -- making these compatibles requires the original EV tooling - someone bought the tooling from EV and klipsch -shipped it to the Philippines and is making them with 3 versions - one in a cup soldered - two, the diaphragm alone - and third a tweeter , the k77F - -Their workmanship and quality are sub-standard - the ones in the cups are Grade A diaphragms - Thar are made to match the k77F tweeter - the bare diaphragms are the low grade - but unfortunately , the only available diaphragm for the k77
