    Admittedly I know nothing about the Belle’s. Are they the same internals as the La Scala just a different box design? 
    How would they compare in sound? I haven’t ever been able to listen to a pair. 

    the midrange horn of a Belle is smaller , you're better off with a Lascala , the mids horn of a Lascala  is 400Hz , the Belle mids horn is 500Hz because the speaker s not a deep  , therefore the horn had to be made shorter ,the quality sound will favor  the Lascala and btw , the LS shares the mids horn with the Top of the line Khorn

     Does $850 seem like a good price?

     Finally if I converted the back panel to a 5 way post and wired for bi amp, would like reduce the resale value?

     

    850$ sounds great-

    -modifying / drilling into the Factory terminal cup would affect the resale value

    I have two kp 450 A-LF KLIPSCH 

    With serial number 053396883. 

    These things are like 5 foot tall and I'm sure they work just never hooked them up . Can anyone tell me anything about them 

    the KP-450A are klipsch Pro speakers with casters and handles , your speakers were Made in 1993 based on the serial # you provided

    - cabs are 3/4 inch birch plywood , the cabs come in 2 pieces , the Low Frequency cab has two 15 inch K-45-E woofers , the HF cabinet has a K-69M compression driver with a K-501 horn 

  4.  the specs of the 70's -80's  K-55V with the original Atlas diaphragm indicated that it extended to 6KHz  whether single or dual phase plug  and so does the K-55M  , but the K-55M was hotter , and we all know that the newer 2001 K-55X , PD5VH  including the newer D-20GB diaphragms only extend to 4100Hz .

    Well finally got around to comparing these two passives and just now noticed they have different baskets 

     

    Jesse ,  do both passives have the same diameter or is the KD-15-ST a tad larger , does the KD-15-ST fit in the Forte II

  6. great idea ,  buy an AA kit from JEM + the missing parts ,  skip the Zener diodes    , if you dont like the sound of the K-55M with the AA , you can sell these off and buy K-55V drivers , both K-55V and K-55M extend to 6KHz as long as the diaphragms are Original .
