Hi. I may be able to purchase a pair of circa 1990's La Scala speakers. I'm NOT an audiophile. I've just heard their sound blows you away. Can you help by outlining the steps you would take to determine their condition? Any special tools needed, any particular music that should be used to evaluate the sound? Thanks!

Yes, one person responded to me indicating I should post in this forum. So I'm going to delete the original post.

Hi. Can you help with with a commercial application please? I need a sound system for my coffee shop located in Texas. I would like really good sound quality yet I need to be mindful of the cost and want to keep it simple. Here's the setup: * Space is rectangle shape, 1000 feet (roughly 25 x 40). All dry-walled. Polished concrete floor, flat 12 ft dry-walled ceiling. It's pre-wired with Fluid 14 gauge speaker wire in four places, two each along the 40' walls, about 9' off the floor, facing one another. Space has a 8x8 bathroom in one corner so speaker on that wall and parallel wall is about 4' from that wall. * I have a friend who has Klipsch surround sound for his house and loves it. He suggests four, RP240S speakers mounted on the walls. * I'm not an audiophile * I'm not sure where I'm getting the music from. I would like to create playlists as opposed to paying for a music service. Does this mean I use a USB, a CD, an internet connection? Don't laugh, I'm not up with the times. Maybe someday I would also use a turntable input for nostalgia but this may never happen. * I'd like to have "album happy hours" and other events where the music is more a focus than a typical coffee shop. * It would be fantastic if there was a reasonable used player that would be effective and affordable. I'm happy to supply missing information. Suggestions please! Thanks.
