    A Visit with Chief Bonehead and The Jubilee

    Yes, they are very powerful. They are not fatiguing at moderately high volumes of the crossover is set properly. When we were listening, one of the salesmen was in the room with us and started to tweak the active crossover. After this, some of our testing songs were bright, I lowered the HF on the crossover and all was well again. I guess it might be tempting to tweak the knob settings depending on the artist/style/etc of the music you are listening to. If these were $10k less, I would have placed an order already.

    I have a pair of Forte 1's that I purchased many years ago. One of the passive radiators was severely damaged by our cat. I've been trying to find a replacement for years and it seems nearly impossible to find KD-13s. Is it possible to use something like a KD-12 instead? 

     

    Thanks!

    You can get the passive radiator reconed by Midwest Speakers, Simply Speakers, or The Speaker Exchange.

    Sold Industrial La Scalas in New England

    in Garage Sale

    This was a fun project and I learned a ton, but I have no room for these anymore.  It is time to sell.  These are located in Massachusetts.  I am asking $2,000.  These LaScalas sound great!  These were hanging in a family fun center for the last 20-40 years (I really don't know how long they were there).  I have thoroughly cleaned these speakers, including removing the mid-range drivers and cleaning the horns with soap, water with a microfiber cloth.  The dog house panels were removed, the woofer screws were tightened, the old gasket tape was removed and new closed cell gasket foam was installed, and then the panels were reinstalled.  I have recapped the Type AA crossovers using JEM Performance Audio capacitors to the original specs.  The old capacitors are in a labeled bag that matches the serial number of the speaker they came out of, as well as the crossover.  The mid-range drivers are the K-55-V soldered lug terminals drivers.
