Wow, not even 1 reply?!

It's likely not gonna happen but I'm putting it out there with high hopes. Needing a single one of each. Thanks!

Well, my response would be, because I already own Lascala's I'm looking for something different and something more of an experiment for my theater. Since I own 2 homes I've spread different ideas between theaters and music rooms between the two homes. No different than garyrc, I'm going to enjoy a similar frequency in between 2 Khorns. My collection of Klipsch speakers range from (already owned) Lascala's, Khorns, different KPT speakers & theater/auditorium subwoofers. Trying a new and already proven project will be fun. Heck Mr. Frzninvt, let's enjoy and respect one another's different views. No need to take matters to such an objective point of view.

And yes avguytx, your are so correct. A standard AA xover will suffice although, I will be installing a better approach. Thank you for your kind entry

I'm doing an identical approach pursuant to a conversation between Garyrc & myself. Gary successfully completed an intriguing approach which he illustrate's in the following paragraph. Please read forward ... My high frequency hearing is still more or less O.K., but I sometimes have trouble with dialogue, especially rapidly delivered dialogue in a Cockney, Scots, Irish or other difficult British Isle accents. In our HT, we have a modified Belle Klipsch center speaker (with an enlarged top hat to accommodate a K401 horn -- the one in the La Scala II). Although the Belle speaks through an "acoustically transparent" [sic] projection screen, it was EQd by Audyssey, with the screen down and in the way, therefore gets some help in the high frequencies. Also we have it high so the tweeter and midrange are the same height as the right and left channel tweets/mids, and the top hat is pointed down so the tweeter points right at the height of the average ear of someone sitting on the couch. Even so, we have the trim turned up 2 dB on the center. Anyway, with all of these efforts, the dialog is now clear with almost any film except Trainspotting. Mr. Frzninvt, Regarding your question surrounding PWK's ability are you kidding, he was a genius! After all, he is the reason we've come together, and remain together. I would never question the ability of a master engineer especially PWK! As Garyrc made clear in his (what I consider to be) very cool Belle remodeling project, altering and playing with this particular Belle re-configuration will be fun. The hat needs to be 2" taller and since I know my way around a professional cabinet shop, it'll be a breeze for me to make a new hat to go atop the old bass bin. Furthermore, the idea of "horns sticking out of the back & crossover modifications" mean nothing to me. Heck, modifying a crossover is part of the fun ... right? As one of my retirement hobby's, this stuff is right up my alley! Never had so much fun than spending large amounts of money on my love for MUSIC and THEATERS.

Hi Mark, The 501 is what I've removed from the Belle in order to install a K401 in it's place. I am now left with a single 501 which I will not be using. Thank you for the kind offer!

Awhile ago I was intrigued by "Garyrc"s suggestion in introducing the K401 into my single Belle. I posted the single K 401 request sometime ago and of course, no one had a single to spare. I thought I'd try my luck once again. Hopefully there's one out there? On the other hand, does anyone know where I might obtain a decent after market? I'd prefer to keep it Klipsch but I'm starting to think otherwise. Thanks

Here's what I'm thinking about. Problem is, with Pat's "Faital Drivers", where am I going to find a pair of K-402 bodies? Horns, Horn Lens', whatever. The K-402's without and/or absent of drivers. Been looking online for awhile and so far, it's not looking good.

I'm curious to know as well Pete. Wondering how those would do on top of my two KPT-415-LF's (Quad 15" Bass Units)? That would turn them into two way instead of the current three way. I'd likely have to retro in new crossover boards designated for 2 way. Anyone have a greater knowledge on my approach? Glad to hear any replies supporting the idea.

Asking price reality will kick in. Only a matter of time if the seller truly needs to sell them.

Did you seriously pay 75 dollars for that? Wow, what a deal

Agreed. Classy and good sense.

Thanks so much Pioneerhip.

Easy Peasy, Thanks! Now I'm curious, what range would be considered sufficient for these?

I know there's a very simple way of testing these with a meter, just don't know how. Can anyone help guide me on how to go about this task? I have volt/ohm meters. Thanks!

I'm curious to know, why (on some Lascala's) is there horizontal bracing on the bass cabinet? You know, an introduced piece of plywood that attaches from the inner sidewall to the "V" within the bass bin. I haven't seen many with this application but it appears to be an add on after the fact. I'm guessing the idea is to stiffen the cabinet to lessen vibrations? Could it be some Lascala's came from the factory that weren't quite as solid as they should have been? Hard to believe (due to small numbers) that this idea came OEM from the factory.

Since I am a potential buyer, I do not have pictures. Does anyone have an estimate of rough Cornwalls?

Looking to see what a fair asking/selling price is for a pair of older Cornwall's? Consecutive #'s beg. with 8638081 Original everything and little rough around the edges but, nothing new veneer won't take care of. Grills are in nice shape. Thanks for any input.

That's a very fair price. I paid a little over that (each) for both of my 884's AND, it took some real arm twisting! Same ol' story, "if only I lived closer". You should be selling it soon. I'm surprised it's not sold yet.

Have you decided what your final asking price will be?

I own 2 of the KPT-884's and for anyone thinking about buying, you won't regret it. Upon origination I had them hooked up to an older EV-CPS2.8 amp and the result was ... so so at best. I just about gave up. After nearly selling the pair it was suggested I purchase the Crown XLS 2502 for them. I did so and whoaaaa, I had finally found that BOOM and THUMP I'd been searching for! When paired with my Khorns and Lascala's, and it makes for a truly satisfying result. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Asking PRICE?

What's your opinion regarding thump between these and the KPT-884's?

One or two?

Yes, 510 is familiar within my discovery. My particular driver/horn comes from (on top of ) a KPT-415 configuration. This is the K-69-A driver on an Edgar type wood Tractrix horn Edgar type wood Tractrix horn which is not my horn. I will upload my horn picture tomorrow. I copy & pasted this image more for driver purposes than the horn.
