I'm curious. When rebuilding my speakers, is it necessary to keep the terminal block separating the crossover to the woofer or can I run new wires directly from crossover to woofer drilling a hole in the cabinet and filling it with silicone?

I talked to bob crites today and I think the avenue I'm going to take right now is a set of his 4500 crossovers and new tweeters. After that I will be able to see what else needs replacing. Thank you all for your help and I'm not going to make new speakers from my LaScalas components.

AL crossover. The back of the tweeter is square and the mid is the K55. The cabinets are in ok shape and I have wanted to make new ones for years. They are way too big to put in my new house and I'm interested in the cornscala idea. I love the way they sounded years ago but now they need a lot of love. To restore to original? Restore with upgrades? Use some of the components and build new cabinets and actually use them?

I have owned a pair for 18 years and not used them for the last 10 as they have lived in the corner of my shop. I pulled them out and played some music through them yesterday and I now have a really big desire to restore these speakers. I've been reading many posts here and I'm impressed with how many people there are still playing LaScalas and especially how many services are still available. Glad this forum is here and I look forward to asking a little advice from you guys. Thanks John
