Warning graphic content. NA. Cabs for $165 Springfield, MO https://stlouis.craigslist.org/ele/d/klipsch-la-scala-cabinets-no/6485082760.html

Doesn't seem like anyone has posted about these yet. Look to be a little scuffed/chipped, but the price is right so far at $1,200. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-Belle-Speakers-An-audiophile-classic/173130815321?epid=69615023&hash=item284f669759:g:dxMAAOSwqfZacRGX

Congrats!

took me awhile to find it too. I thought it was well done and liked looking at it in the past. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/167275-klipsch-comparison-map-wprices/

Now that I look at the stock versions of those speakers, trying to get them stuck on a concrete ceiling might not be the best option. Although, I still think it could be done if one was determined. I assume your comfortable in getting a decent screw stuck in the ceiling, regardless of the speaker model. Both the SP-140SA and R-14SA have only a single key-hole mount as shown below. If you were set on one of those models, I'd put an appropriate screw in for the key-hole, and then on the opposite end of the speaker, some pedal board tape like this. This differs from standard Velcro/hook and loop styles and is much stronger. The pedal board tape would serve two purposes: 1) Help hold up the speaker, and 2) keep the speaker from shifting the key-hole slot off of the screw. Make sense? Here's an example of the pedal board tape. RP-140SA R-14SA

Paging @wdecho and @Full Range

Hi Spark, welcome to the forums. I'd recommend/request posting pictures of your La Scalas regardless of serious inquires at the moment. It's always nice to have more pictures of a nice pair of heritage. Plus it's likely to generate more interest in your sale. Are you the original owner? Consecutive serials? GLWS

Kain, Seems like you've already solicited general advice on which speakers to get, so if you're strictly looking between those two models, I'd probably lean towards the KPT-801's. With the AW-650's, it seems like you'd be paying a bit for the all-weather package that isn't needed in your scenario. Then again, it seems like you'd be paying a bit of a premium for the professional theater line too to cover the atmospheric portion of HT, while none of your other channels are from the professional theater line. Either one of those should be ceiling mountable given the right anchors. How is the supply chain for Klipsch in Dubai? I haven't seen your previous thread of searching for recommendations, but how high is your ceiling? I ask, because both the 801's and 650's will eat up at least 12" of vertical space after mounting. Would you consider something like the R-14S? I would think they could cover the atmos channel content well enough and they would reduce the vertical profile by half of the 801s/650s. Any chance you could score 4 used RS-7s? All of that is offered with the caveat that I have not heard either of the 801s or 650s or any atmos soundtracks. Good luck with your search.

I've had this album in my collection for a good 12 years now. Always liked it, but never knew the "how" story of it until just now. Very cool. I shall have to bring it up to the front of the listening cue. Thanks for the post.

Is Margo taking the picture?

NA - I would think with this volume a discount would be in place, but it works out to $57/title...at least they give you free shipping https://www.ebay.com/itm/17-523-Movies-Worlds-Largest-Collection-4K-Blu-ray-DVD-3D-Criterion-OOP-Rare/263141696665?hash=item3d4477a499:g:SLYAAOSwMvtZSJKj

Didn't buy them, but $1,652 final price for the AB networked...not bad, they were only quoting me $165 to ship them to KCMO. AA networked ended for $1,850. Any local members snag a pair?

Making a custom center to match my LSs. Thanks

Those 82s will work well for your surrounds if you want to save some money at the moment. Don't forget about the sub(s)! The second most important speaker for HT, following the center channel.

Those two items I have in my setup and I'm very happy with them. They provide a great experience and fit my beer-budget very nicely for 1080. The 2150 is one of two projectors, the other being the BenqHT2050, as the best projectors under $1k based on the conversations over at avsforums. I went with the epson 2150 as I wanted a longer throw and the cheaper lamp replacements. Silver Ticket does offer 2.35:1 screens in 115" and 125" options, although they cost a little more than my 16:9 120". The whole Silver Ticket series gets great reviews for a budget friendly screen. I haven't had any personal experience with Emotivas, but there's definitely a lot of fans of them.

I'd say it'd be worth it to call in sick tomorrow to check out this auction. The sale process seems a mystery, so I'd give the firm a call if you're at all interested in anything. Sorry for the mixup on the MCs, edited the posted to reflect.

I do not have that combo, as I'm currently running with the Denon avr-x4100 and happy with that. If I was to make the jump to the separates world, that Integra and outlaw amp would probably be the way I'd go as they appeal to the best bang for the buck approach. Good idea there.

Those unfortunately don't look like they'd be consecutive serial numbers

Welcome back. Just one option put together quickly for your consideration and to put the budget into perspective. New RF-7IIIs = $3,900/pair New RC-64III = $1,500 R-115SW = $1,800/pair $7,200 Integra DHC-80.3 + Outlaw Model 5000 = $1,200 Epson 2150 + 120" Silver Ticket Screen = $900 Oppo 203 = $550 Grand total for an enviable HT = $9,850 (sans taxes) Use your 83s for surrounds and you might have some $$ left over for popcorn . Although, my tendency would be to look at the used markets or IIs for the LCR to save some cash. Best of luck. I'm sure others will chime in as well. Probably be worthwhile to reach out to @MetropolisLakeOutfitters and see what they could do for a package deal.

Don't forget the 203/205 has a HDMI input to hook up your favorite streaming dongles.

NA, Just wanted to get this on the radar for any of our folks in the Seattle area. Sale starts this friday. Seems like good potential for anything electronics wise. https://www.estatesales.net/WA/Seattle/98178/1744320
