  1. To ask why he was getting rid of them. I have LaScalas I could trade if he was looking to downsize or he moved into a new place that wouldn't allow corner placement. Patrick
  2. Did you get the ones that were listed on Craigslist in Dallas? I had contacted the guy about them but didn't have $2k cash to pull the trigger.
  3. I'm going to the Pilgrimage this year and I'm going to rent a cargo trailer to carry the speakers I'm going to sell. Since I'll have quite a bit of room in the trailer I want to offer up something as a service / courtesy for anyone else going. I know there are a lot of items for sale in the DFW area that aren't so good after you factor in shipping. If anyone wants to purchase an item in the Dallas area and pay for it, I'll go by and pick it up and carry it out to Hope along with the rest of my items. I'd like to get a few bucks for the trouble, but I'm doing in mainly as a favor to other Klipschites (is that a word). Message me if you want to get something that I can pick up. Thanks, Patrick
  4. Looks like there are some khorns selling for $2k. Is that a good price? I usually see them listed for much more but i don't know if they actually sell at the higher listed prices.
  5. I ran across these this past weekend. The owner said they were taken from a shut down movie theater. They need to be cleaned up, some touch up paint, a port on the 18" driver cabinet re-attached. There are 3 low frequency cabinets. Two have dual 15's and one has a single 18". The theater only had ONE of the mid/high compression drivers and horns. I asked about the other two and they had sold them. If someone where to get this and find two more matching mid/high horns it would make for a very nice front stage in a theater. Models are: JBL 2445J compression driver with horn and mounting bracket JBL 4638TH bass cabinet JBL 4645B bass cabinet TOTAL AUDIO TA-215-W8 bass cabinet I tested all of the drivers individually and they work. The appearance is the only thing that needs some work. I'm going to work on these and I plan to bring them out to the pilgrimage. At this point I'm going to have to rent a cargo trailer to bring everything out. If anyone has an interest in these send me a message.
  6. Here are more pics of the LaScala that I have for sale at $1400.
  7. I offered $180 and they accepted. I'm going to go by either today or tomorrow to pick them up. I'll post pics when I get them to clarify about the finish. Patrick
  8. Those are the ones I'm looking at. Since I'm in DFW I can drive over and pick them up with having to pay for shipping. Good deal or not?
  9. If you still have these, let me know. I'm talking to a guy who is parting out a pair of Heresys because the tweeters are blown. I offered him a fixed price for everything he has including the blown tweeters so I might be able to use these if he accepts my offer. Patrick
  10. Anyone have thoughts on this? I'm looking to buy but want to make sure it's a worthwhile price.
  11. I'm selling a pair in DFW for only $1,400
  12. I can tell you that the amp has an MSRP of $999 but I can discount it heavily. I can't post in a public forum what I can sell it for because that's a violation of my dealer agreement but I could send you a quote or private message you if you are interested.
  13. This is a great thread and I'll have to go back and read it in more detail. There is so much to absorb. I know this is already well under way, but I wanted to mention a sub amp that I sell and have used many times. IMO it's the best "bang for the buck" in this range. https://www.snapav.com/shop/en/snapav/amplifiers-speaker/episode-reg%3B-digital-subwoofer-amplifier---500w-with-front-panel-display-ea-amp-sub-1d-500r I also wanted to ask about comparing the Eminence LAB15 driver to the Dayton Umax that the OP is using. I have been considering building box with the LAB15, but the Dayton Umax looks impressive.
  14. Talk to me in more detail about what you need. I'm in near Hope, but DFW isn't far and I'm sure there are a fair share of Klipsch fans in the DFW area. Maybe start a "fan club" with some kind of perks where the revenue could go toward the museum? Just one idea of many I would like to discuss in more detail.
  15. What is the price range for buying a pair of KG3s? What I mean is ...... less than $xxx: run, don't walk. buy them right away between $yyy and $zzz: price is about right depending on condition over $vvv: keep away...too expensive. Thanks for the input.
  16. Since it's one of the premiere BluRay players available - why are you selling it?
  17. Pioneer CS R70 speakers - $300 Vintage Pioneer speakers made back when Pioneer made respectable speakers. These are a 3 way horn loaded design with 12" woofer, midrange and high frequency horns. The sound is similar to an early 70s Klipsch Heresy but with a significantly stronger low end. These have a classic sound that opens up with a bright high end and strong vocal presence in the midrange. The cabinets are heavy and very solid. Specs (translated from original Japanese manual) Scheme: 3 ways, 3 speaker bass-reflex scheme Using unit: For low-pass: 30cm cone type For mid-high ranges: Horn type For high super regions: Horn type Impedance: 8ohm Play frequency band: 35Hz - 20000Hz Output sound pressure level: 91dB/W The maximum input: 75W Cross over frequency: 700Hz, 14000Hz Dimensions: Width 380x height 660x depth of 346mm Weight: 23kg Sorry for the quality of the pictures. I had to use a higher jpeg compression than I like because of the limit on uploading 2m of pictures per post.
  18. Sterling SE 300 Cathedral speakers - $225 Great sounding vintage speakers. These are very rare and I've only found a few Sterling speakers for sale in the entire US, none of this model. The wood is solid, heavy and well built. Uses a 2 way design with a cone tweeter that gives a smooth, well balanced sound. The sound reminds me of the vintage Advent of the early 70s. The low end is solid and punchy. All drivers are original.
  19. '85 LaScala with K-55-M midrange and AL crossover. Asking $1400 on ad sites, but I'll cut a deal to members. Not sure if I'll have room in my Nissan Rogue to bring both of these to the pilgrimage.
  20. Polk SDA II speakers $375 Matched pair of high end Polk speakers. Truly amazing sound. The SDA series was Polk’s first attempt at expanding the state of the art in loudspeakers. The SDA-2 was just below the top of the line SDA-1, which added an extra mid-woofer, a larger cabinet and a few hundred dollars to the price, along with slightly more bass extension. The SDA-2 is no slouch and many over they years felt it superior to its big brother. SDA stands for Stereo Dimensional Array, and its goal is much the same as what Bob Carver was after with his Sonic Holography: to cancel the aural crosstalk which smears the imaging clues and confuses the ear. In the Polk version, an umbilical cord connects the left and right speakers and feeds the left channel signal to the right speaker’s SDA array and vice versa. This has the effect of canceling the crosstalk, making the left ear hear the left speaker only and the right ear the right speaker only (in theory). In practice, it is far more effective than one might think. The SDA-2 speakers are mirror-imaged pairs, with the driver compliment as follows: two 1″ soft dome tweeters horizontally arrayed near the top of the front baffle; below the tweeters are a pair of mid-woofers, also horizontally arrayed. On each speaker the inner tweeter and mid-woofer are the SDA drivers; the outer pair work conventionally. Below the two horizontal arrays is another mid-woofer in line with the outer woofer above it, and below that is a 12″ diameter passive radiator, which takes the place of a conventional port. A black cloth grill covers all of the drivers. On the back panel, there is a tweeter-protection fuse above the single set of 5-way binding posts. Below the fuse is a socket for the umbilical cord connecting each speaker. Model: SDA 2 Tweeter: 2 x SL1000 Stereo Driver: 1 x MW6600x Bass Driver: 1 x MW6600x SDA Driver: 1 x MW6600x Bass Radiator: SW120 Crossover: Dual Board SDA I.C.: blade/Blade Dimensions: 12"D x 16"W x 39-1/2"H Shipping Weight: 80 lbs. per Cabinet Frequency Response: 16-26,000 Hz. (no tolerance given) Sensitivity: 92 dB / w / m Nominal Impedance: 4 ohms Suggested Amplification: 10-500 watts continuous;common ground amplifiers only
