I updated and lowered the price based on the recent sale info.

Per pair

I have 2 pairs of LaScala with the fiberglass finish and metal edges for touring, and one pair of the LaScala bass bins. All have original Klipsch drivers and sound fantastic, except the bass bins. They are loaded with Eminence LAB15, and sound OK. They drop MUCH lower than stock (20 Hz), and are OK, but not OEM drivers. Combined they sound great. Just a bit dusty from sitting in storage, and normal scuffs from gigging around on shows. Back panel connections have been converted to Speakon NL4 on all 4 LaScala's More pictures available upon request. LaScala 3-way, $1800 per pair, $3500 for all 4 LaScala bass bins, $1200 per pair $4500 for all 6 units. Local pickup only, will not ship. Located in Boulder Creek, California, 95006 Will deliver to Silicon Valley areas, and Santa Cruz.

I just found an old email from 4/2 on a disused email account about 6 MWM bins in the midwest being demolished? On the chopping block with no buyers? I'm sorry, this is all the info I have right now. Anyone know if this was a thing, and if they are actually gone, or demolished, or still available? I cant afford any, but I would prefer to see them re-homed than demolished.

I am seeking a pair of MSSM cabinets for MCM-1900, touring version with the metal reinforced edges and corners. Prefer to have em unloaded without drivers, any useable condition. Please contact smashwolf@gmail.com if you have a pair.

This system is still available. It will be demonstrated this year at Burning Man at 9:00 and Esplinade. 8 MWM, 4 MWMS, 2 MSSM, 2 MSM, amps and racks . If you wish to take it home after the burn I can also sell the trailer it packs into. The demonstration will be properly tuned for delays end equalization prior to demonstration. the DSP with all tunings will be included in the sale. email is smashwolf@gmail.com

Hey gang, I need to sell my wall of sound. it is a re-worked MCM1900 system, with some updated drivers, and quad-amped. Comes with 3 racks of Crown K2 and K1 amplifiers, and all cables, turn key, ready to go. This is the commercial touring version of the cabinets with the metal edging, and fiberglass covering. This system has some history. 3 of the cabinets are serial numbers 1001, 1002, 1003. The rest come from Terry Hanley (The Bill and Terry Hanley of Woodstock fame) . I drove them across country to build this wall of Klipsch sound. Some of the artists Terry Hanley told me these toured with back in the day dropped my jaw. This system is so efficient that each side (Left and right) can run off of a single 20 ampere wall outlet. the Crown K series class-i amplifiers perform like power shock absorbers, able to deliver the deepest punch of EDM music to the subwoofers without significant draw on the mains. The current draw at rest is a steady 4 amps per rack , and even full tilt the system never goes over 15 amps per rack. At Burning man 2013 (Pictured) We ran this thing for 24 hours a day 8 days straight playing melodic psytrance, on a single cylinder pull start 4000W generator from Harbor Freight, and used less than 50 gallons of gas. Oh, and the generator was also running 2 full sized refrigerators, and half a dozen fans, as well as swamp coolers. All amps have been modified to disable sleep mode, and recently had their gain pots cleaned wth Deoxit D5. Removeable wheels have been added to the MWM cabinets and 8" air filled wheels are included. Includes: 12 MWM cabinets loaded with 2 Eminence Lab 15 drivers each, set up as subwoofers/LFE 6 MWMS cabinets loaded with Klipsch K48KP drivers, set up as mid-bass 4 MSSM cabinets loaded with McCauley drivers as midrange 4 MSM Klipschhorns loaded with JBL 2440 2" compression drivers 3 16-space amp racks containing: 15 Crown K2 amplifiers 4 Crown K1 amplifiers Pre-made speakon cable harnesses on rack plates. Rack covers convert to tables with built-in folding legs. All speakon NL4 cables, all 10 gauge 4-conductor SJOOW stranded copper. (All cabinets have been converted to use Speakon NL4 and are wired for 2-channels each with a switch. Rack mount PDU's with amp meters I also have a DBX DriveRack 4800 DSP available to complete the system. Accepting all reasonable serious offers. Located in Fremont, California, Buyer arranges transport. Currently stored in a 40 foot intermodal shipping container. Container is available. email: smashwolf@gmail.com for more pictures, and info.

It was sure great to see Klipsch at infocomm 2014. Had some interesting chats wit the folks in the booth. Wishing I had gotten cards from all of them. With that week heating up for pro audio in Las Vegas it sure would be nice to see Klipsch Pro Audio take the stage with an offering for the EDM crowd. After my forrays with re-juicing the old MCM 1900 with so-so mismatched subwoofers that still kick-*** compared to Funktion One, and EDC and EDMBiz conference being in town that same week, I am half tempted to take my MCMC-1800 system out to vegas next infocomm in 2016, and throw an all Klipsch EDM dance party prior to EDC. Just gotta find a place where EDM.Biz conference attendees and infocomm people and early EDC folks can easily get to it that I can afford, or find a sponsor.... With the new KPT-1802-HLS Subwoofer coupled with the KPT-MCM-4-T-Grand, with the right digital amps/DSP combo and set-up it'll give the Pioneer GS-WAVE/Powersoft combo a good schooling I am sure. In fact, if the hardware were ever in one place (Like at infocomm?) I think a shootout would be in order Too bad it's 2 more years away. I'm not likely to be able to drive my MCM 1900 all the way to Orlando for Infocomm next year, and EDMBiz and EDC is staying put right here in Las VEgas.

Gary, No problem, Thought I'd ask. We have a machine shop, and metal fab across the street who thinks they can make the metal, but so far nothing yet. The angles are weird, so it's not an extrusion or a casting I could even hope to buy off the rack anyplace. The corners are some sort of casting then plated somehow, maybe electroplated? I have a few cabinets missing corners, or extrusions so finding a replacement source is proving to be unobtanium. -smash

I am looking for more of the MWM bins with the metal edging. Any chance this is what you got?

FWIW, I have each MWM cabinet on a single bridged Crown K2. With the Original K-33 drivers, it was too easy to blow the drivers. Now I have Eminence Lab15's int here, and I don;t blow drivers, as long as I am not over-driving and clipping the amp. Basically, when loading a Crown K2, as long as you don't see the yellow and /or red LED's come on on the front, you are generally OK. The K's will go don to 2 Ohms per channel and still be stable, but only 4 Ohms in bridged mode. The number of drivers you put on each amp channel is not unlimited. The more you add, the more current the amplifier must provide, regardless of impedance, and wiring arrangement. Also onsider what happens when a driver fails. If you have a complex array of drivers, consider what will hapen to the overall impedance and thus voltage/amp draw if each driver were to fail open circuit. Will any single failure cause your overall impedance to fall below the amp threshold, or cause an overload condition? Setting up complex arrays of drivers can still work, but you can also set yourself up for a cascade failure condition if you have too many stacked series in parallel.

K series amps come and go. I got most of mine either locally off Craigslist, locally from used music equipment stores, or off of Ebay. They are getting popular again thanks to stuff like what I am doing, so the used price in the past year seems to have gone up from about $250 each to about $450 each. I have had a standing rule that I would not pay more than $450 for a K2, but lately it has been hard for me to buy hem that cheaply. Still, if Crown re-produced them, they would sell for at least $2500 new, so when I am really hard up I'll probably ay more than $450 if I have to. It's still a LOT cheaper than the new amplifier equivalents. If your system is not going to travel, I have found fantastic deals on the Crown CTs series of architecture install amplifiers. They don't tour well because some of the parts are modular in a "card cage" like a computer. (they can wiggle loose in their sockets with vibrations while in transit) It makes them easier to service in the field, though. My entire home theater is Crown CTs . The nice thing about CTs, is tha they make them in models from 2 channel to 8 channels. I use a CTS-8200 for my 9.1 surround, that gives me 8 200 watt channels for my surround speakers, then a CTs 2000 for the front two mains, and the subwoofers are self powered. The CTS amps only take up 5 U of rack space for all those channels, and I got them for a SONG on eBay. So, if you don;t "need" the K series to go on the road like I do, the CTs will give you plenty of OOMPH at a really reasonable price. you could bridge a single CTs 2000 for each subwoofer, and run the rest of your drivers on a CTs 800, and have plenty left over. -smash . Bryan I was actually leaning towards K2's in March and then again when I saw your set up. Back in March there were K2's for sale everywhere but it seems like I have waited too long . There doesn't seem to be many around or they appear to be overpriced. That being said the efficiency would be a huge benefit to me.. Thank you for your input.. Your system is jaw dropping and at the top of my Klipsch bucket list of things to experience along with Michaels "House of Klipsch" and invite myself to "Coytee's"Richards outdoor theater and bring some MCM's with me.

Because it's eminence, I am really jazzed about being able to say "Made in the USA" too. Bryan - KILLER looking system. Can only imagine how GREAT it sounds. Yeah it's big heavy cabinets compared to today BUT I bet it can still hold its own with any comparably sized "modern" system. The customer support people at Eminence are wonderful. I bought a singe Nexus Stringray car subwoofer a few years back on an online auction for very littel shipped. Only info on / in the box is optimzed for 0.33 cubic foot sealed enclosure. Made in USA so I figured very good chance it was made by Eminence. It was. They helped me find their model number and then dug up the T/S parameters for me. 8" driver in 0.33 cubic foot box as a sub sounds like it would suck up lots of power and/or not play very deep and would think might have better options. p s. One of my high school classmates older sisters was at burning man. I've connected with her on FB so will ask her how it sounded.

Because of the remote location of my house & desire to do something outdoors away from the house, I find that inspirational!! I am however, ignorant of how you connect all the various cabinets to the source. I have a thread I started just yesterday about that (I think it's in technical, not Pro section) I ditched the crossovers completely, disconnected all coils, capacitors, and "dividing networks". Each and every driver in my system routes back to a single amplifier channel. Each amplifier channel is daisy chained off of one of the 8 outputs of a DBX DriveRack 4800. The DriveRack handles all of my frequency crossovers, sending only the audio to be amplified to each chain of amplifiers. Right now the DriveRack takes left and right 2 channel input, and divides each channel 4 ways into Sub, mid bass, midrange, and HF. My crossover points are 80Hz, 300Hz, 3000Hz, keeping vocals predominantly in the midrange driver. I am considering a 4th crossover point at 50 Hz, and introducing some additional cabinets for below 50Hz that are not Klipsch to capture the ultra lows in much of the latest electronic dance music. like the drumstep, dub step, and other related genres. From the amps to the speakers, the most important thing to get right is the impedance. You CAN wire more than one driver to an amplifier, so long as you keep the impedance acceptable for that amplifier. It will change how it sounds, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. There are a lot f people with a lot of "rules of thumb" about how impedance and wiring to amps will affect sound at varying ranges, but in the end it is all subjective, and up to you to decide what you like best for your own listening tastes. A good signal process or ( like the DBX) will also allow you to program delays on your outputs. sound at different frequency ranges will travel at different speeds through air, so being able to set a delay on each output to align sound arrival at your ear will also enhance your listening experience. That may take a little more tweaking, but planning for it in overall system design is a good idea, so you CAN adjust for delay when you are ready to do so. Keep your eyes on the Behringer X32 Rack mount version. Even though it is a "mixer" it is cheaper than the DriveRack, can do ALL of the same features, plus a LOT more, and you can then use it to remote control your whole system over WiFi using either a laptop, an iPad, or an iPhone in real time. On top of that, you get all the Midas A/D converters, and D/A. I have the console version, and it has astounding features, and capabilities for the money. My drive Rack new cost me $2500 (Retail was $4500 or so at the time). The X32 is like MSRP $1500... Rediculously cheap, and great repurposed as a PA controller.

Also, consider upgrading the drivers i the MWM's. I am astounded at how good they sound with the Eminence Lab15 drivers. Eminence being the OEM of the Klipsch drivers, it's not a stretch really to put a lab15 in there. A little social engineering to find out the T&S of the original drivers, and the lab15 wasn't terribly far off, so I took a shot at it, and it worked out GREAT. This is a pic of my system at Burning Man 2 weeks ago. It was running all that on 2 outlets of a small ~5000W gasoline powered generator.

I run mine on Crown K1 and K2 amplifiers. I have also used some smaller Peavey CS amps, and gotten a decent sound from them. What I have found with the Crown K series is a lot of efficiency. Running one in Bridge mode on a MWM cabinet, it can handle the deepest hardest bass hit with minimal draw on the mains current. For point of reference, I have 12 MWM cabinets in my biggest system, and I can run all 12 MWM's 4 MWMS in mid bass, 4 MSSM's and 4 MSM's with single JBL 2440 drivers, and I can run ALL of that on two 20 Amp circuits indefinitely at full volume using the K amps without popping a any breakers.

Several DJ's reerred to it as better than a Funktion One, or a "Funktion One Killer"

Photo of our rave system we call the "Big Bad Wolf", taken at Burning Man 2013 just before we broke it down to go home. This system operated full volume , 24 hours a day for 8 days with no failures in one of the harshest environments on the planet , and only used two 20 amp circuits on a small Harbor Freight portable gasoline generator. It produced 130 dBC of bass below 80 Hz and could still be heard at the trash fence a few miles away in deep playa, the outer boundary of the festival

Here is a picture from this past evening after we finished setting up for a festival. It's amazing what some fresh paint and Klipsch logos can do to some old gear! We have almost enough to build another set of stacks. Just need one more MWM, and 2 more MSSM's.
