Sorry, traded for a pair of stock 70s Belles local. Thank you all for the interest and price recommendations.

$2000 cash for both

Want to trade my brand new P-17bs for a great to excellent condition Heritage cornwall or belle. I have all the original boxes, packaging, manuals ect. The p-17b sounds too smooth for my ears (very similar to a B&W) I need the mid horn violence to my ears that the cornwall and belle give (La Scala too but I have placement constraints). I'm located in Northern CA . I'm open to cash offers as well. If you PM me your cellphone number I can send better photos.

Still no updates??

Sorry I'll get some better ones tomorrow been too busy listening (and thoroughly enjoying) them. It's been a while since I got goosebumps listening to music. It's nice to have them back

They are sealed subs and I LOVE hard tight bass. The Palladiums are more than capable on their own but when I switch to Home Theater duties I love the extra umph. And since that pic my Emotiva SA-250 came in. The thing is a beast! It is huge!! almost didn't fit. The Palladiums sound soooooooo smooth and clean on the Emotiva. I have finally reached audio nirvana (until I move and can go back to La Scala's....)

Yeah those are my 15" diy dayton audio subs. I may move them elsewhere and leave the pallidiums solo....

They are in! No emotiva sa-250 till Friday so breaking them in on the Jolida tube amp. Clear, articulate, and clean. Bass is super tight and not boomy at all like the rf-64ii they replaced. Imaging is a work in progress haven't found the sweet spot...

I did too! Got mine off Amazon. Also grabbed an emotiva sa-250 to power them. I'll check in here as well with updates and we can compare listening notes.

Great info guys! Thanks. I'll start with using the preouts to my Jolida (has 4 ohm taps) and tweak the eq from there or tube roll as needed.

Thanks for the info! It's the main living room and is for HT and stereo listening (dual duty). I'm all digital using FLAC music files from a PC to the Marantz via HDMI. I'm not opposed to moving to full SS I just know that with the La Scala's they were too bright on the SS gear I had but sounded great on the Jolida (JD202). They are 50w per channel on the Palladium's (4ohm).
The specs for the Palladiums are: 94dB @ 2.83V / 1m
FREQUENCY RESPONSE 51Hz-24kHz +/-3dB LOW FREQUENCY EXTENSION 40Hz HIGH FREQUENCY EXTENSION 30kHz POWER HANDLING 150W continuous / 600W peak RECOMMENDED AMPLIFIER POWER 50 - 350W SENSITIVITY 94dB @ 2.83V / 1m NOMINAL IMPEDANCE 4 ohms MID-FREQUENCY CROSSOVER 600Hz HIGH FREQUENCY CROSSOVER 3400Hz MAXIMUM ACOUSTIC OUTPUT 115dB (2 speakers in-room) HIGH FREQUENCY DRIVER 0.75" (1.9cm) titanium diaphragm compression driver mated to 90° x 60° Tractrix® Horn MID-FREQUENCY DRIVER 4.5" (11.4cm) aluminum diaphragm compression driver mated to 90° x 60° Tractrix® Horn LOW FREQUENCY DRIVER 7" (17.8cm) high-output, aluminum / Rohacell® / woven synthetic fiber hybrid cone woofer ENCLOSURE MATERIAL Constrained layer MDF (medium density fiberboard) ENCLOSURE TYPE Bass-reflex via rear-firing port HEIGHT 19.9" (50.6cm) WIDTH 9.2" (23.4cm) DEPTH 13.5" (34.3cm) WEIGHT 30 lbs (13.6kg
.....Was honestly contemplating going dual SS for Bi-amping. Maybe a NAD or Rotel
It's a tough battle for me because my setup has to handle both HT and HI-FI Stereo listening. What brand model would you recommend I look at for a receiver?

Purchasing a pair this week. My current setup is a Marantz SR6007 running preouts to a Jolida Tube amp (35w) to La Scala's (wife exiled and sold). My question is would it be beneficial to add a SS amp and biamp the Pallidiums using the Tube amp for the highs and the SS amp for the lows? Would the Jolida be enough on its own? Maybe just run straight from the Marantz and not use tubes? Thoughts?

Thankscreeton! Bump

Rocklin, CA. Sorry

My wife has exiled my modified La Scalas to the garage. I modified them to have the basebin fire rearward for Khorn type placement. I have the upgraded crites xovers and crites tweeters in them. I have the original 1973 AA crossovers and tweeters as well. I'm looking to sell all of it as one package but may part out for the right prices. The original parts all work although the xovers are probably due for some cleaning. If local pickup I'd take $1,000 for everything.

Hello everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster. I recently, about 6 months ago, acquired a set of La Scala's via CL at a very affordable price. They were road speakers (maybe) and covered in carpet. They sounded awesome but looked pretty rough (NOT wife approved for the living room). But the sound brings tears to my eyes (in a good way) with certain music. Sooooo I decided to modify the La Scala's (gasp). And one of the main reasons I modified it to a Khornish is because we just moved into a new house and the living room has large cubbies on either side of the TV that will act as a large corner for the doghouse. So I made a new front end on the backside of the La Scala so that the horns are now forward and the bassbin faces back into the cubbies. I painted the exteriors with Duratex and layed some rosewood veneer on the front. I also upgraded to Crites 120 tweeters and the new crossover to boot. I've included some of the pics. I should be done with them tomorrow morning and be able to test them out then. I have no skills (I'm good at demo) so this was a test for my meager skills and patience. Have to have the wife help me align the speakers for mounting and then we are all done! Any questions or ideas (or criticisms) are welcome. Enjoy the speaker porn
I christen these the Mini-K's!-

Klipsch Belle upgrades
in Technical/Restorations
Posted
I've got some circa 1978 Belles. Running Marantz SR6007 receiver with preouts to Emotiva SA-250 for the Belles. In a past life I had a tube amp and La Scalas with Crites tweeter and and xover upgrades. Wanting to upgrade the Belle. Like the Volti route but price is an issue. Is there a set it and forget it xover that I can get now that will work with stock (or upgraded tweeters if need be) and then get the upgraded horn and 2" driver later? Thanks.
