These are now sold ! Thanks !

These are currently listed on E-bay, will give forum members a break on the price if you pick them up. For sale, one pair of Klipsch Klipschorns, Oak Oil finish with #3 Cane Grill cloth. I am the second owner - 1994 model - PRISTINE with NO scratches, dings, dents, never been abused, nor over driven. Low hours of use at low volume levels. Prefer FREE local pick-up in Westland, Michigan. 48186 If the buyer wants these shipped to any of the lower 48 states, I will do my best to assist with getting these shipped out. Did some checking with a freight company and about 900-1000 should pay for these to be crated and shipped to any state except Alaska/Hawaii . Buyer responsible for all shipping fees. These sound great as you know if your reading this ad ! The only modification to these is that the previous owner added Dynamat to the outsides of the tweeter and mid horns - a common and desirable mod, that's 100% reversable - otherwise 100% original. Simply do not have the space in my new house that these beasts require.

My precious ! I wants ! [Y]

So, How for a finished pair with a nice clear coat/polyuerethane ? []

Are they for sale ? Who built them ? Tell me all about them, I am all ears ! baby lascala's

Thanks for all the replies, after doing more research I now know building a functional correct pair of LaScalas or K-horns is not feasable.[] However, I still can and eventually will design and build a speaker using the guts from a Klipsch pro media set [these are cheap on Ebay used]. While it will not be a folded horn design, I can make them physically look just like a La Scala or K-horn in miniature. That's the most important thing for me, is that these look like the real ones and sound decent enough for desktop use.[Y] I have looked into buying a 4in table saw for hobby use that should be able to make the needed small precise cuts. We have plenty of 1/4 and 1/8 in plywood laying around, order some veneer and grill cloth and it really should not be that tough to make a K-horn replica about 8 in tall. It only needs to look like a K-horn from the outside, and mostly the front at that. I could reverse the pro media woofer to fire backwards and build an angled reflecting baffle to act a false corner and direct sound around the sides and forward. Then just mount the small tweeter in a box covered by grill cloth to replicate the top hat. Add veneer to the enclosure and wire it up. Could tuck the sub out of sight so it appears all is coming from the 2 micro K-horns. I will be on R&R for a few weeks come early Sept, and once back to work over here - will get started on them and share my progress. Kinda off topic, but does anybody run K-Horn's or La Scala's with Nakamichi PA7 power amps ? I have four of the series 1 and they are being sent out to get fully updated. I realize that tubes are the way to go and 200 wpc is overkill, just curious. I have 2 pairs of Polk SRS SDA 1.2s that will likely be used with the PA7s and am having a custom 5 channel tube amp built for home theater use rated at 185wpc. Just wondering if they would be acceptable. Also does anybody have experience with vintage Yamaha M85 or others in that series ? The specs are pretty sweet and I have read they sound incredible when restored and calibrated - even able to dethrone the mighty McIntosh - or it that [bs] ?

Hello All, I am a newer member, but have around as a guest for a good while. My job requires me to work overseas in Afganistan, and I long for the sound and looks of a full horn loaded setup - but my needs require small scale. Is there anybody on the forum that has built or would be interested in building a set of Klipschorns or La Scalas that are only about a foot tall or less ? What I am talking about is a fully functional loaded horn setup that would go well with my 17watt Quinpu tube amp and be portable enough to be mailed home in a foot locker. Seems like these could be built using 1/4 or 1/8 in plywood and maybe a 4 in driver with a small horn. Would this not be the ultimate desktop executive sound system ? The more they look like the real deal at 1/5 or 1/4 scale, the better ! Remember seeing a mini pair of La Scalas on the forum somewhere, the pic said they were fully functional. - Would be awesome to have a set of them. I would be willing to pay up to 400.00 for a mini K-Horn pair that was done well and 350.00 for a La Scala pair. If nobody takes up my offer, in a few months once I have some free time, I will start trying to build a set myself. Only have a dewalt 36volt kit, and a few other tools, but will give it a go. If anybody has ideas on driver types/crossover that would be ideal, let me know - open for all suggestions. Kinda surprised there is nobody out there building these yet. I have researched online, all I found was a mini Tannoy - looked kinda cool, but not a real horn setup. Could the parts from the Klipsch Pro Media speakers be used ? If one had a CNC Router, the ensclosures could be sold as flat packs in a precut,kit form -These would sell like hotcakes ! Awesome would be the only way to describe it, IMO ! Thanks ! Matteo
