Where can I find info on the K-43? I searched the web and found nothing.

Got any other info on the K-43? I searched the web, and came up empty.

hmm... wonder what sort? never heard of the Pro LaScala, I must admit... although it doesn't suprise me... the tweeter and midrange can already handle much more power than they are rated at. I'm considering a pair of JL Audio (no, there's no B in there, just JL) 600W RMS 15-inch subs. they seem to be able to do the trick. as for building a bigger horn, well I probably couldn't. Can't even cut a piece of paper straight... Besides, I'm happy with the original La Scala enclosure. It's big enough for just about any 15-inch sub. The reason I need the sort of sound levels I'm talking about, is because I want to use the La Scala's for PA purposes, like medium-sized concerts. They perform better in the open over long distances than most other speakers. They don't lose clarity, like some JBL stuff I used a while ago.

My dad's got a pair of 1972 La Scala's, and I'm gonna give 'em a little extra kick, by replacing the K-33-E subs with something better. (I already blew up 1 of the subs... they're good, but they just don't handle the sort of power I need... they really don't like having any more than about 200W RMS continually pumped into them... the tweeter/squaker can handle it, but the subs won't.) What should I use? I chucked in a JBL sub that I got out of a J-bin, but it's horrible. It rattles and clacks because it relies on having an open enclosure, unlike the K-33-E. (Oh, and I know Klipsch rate the La Scalas as capable of a maximum of 124dB, but they can do more... even when you're not driving them to bursting point) I've considered other speakers, but the La Scala enclosure is the best IMO. Lowest distortion. Any ideas? (oh, and in case you're interested, here in Melbourne, Australia, La Scala's retail for $9000 aussie dollars, brand new, so they're pretty rare here.)
