Just saw this on social media. RIP Bob Crites

I picked up the La Scala's yesterday. They were from a retired Air Force guy who had bought the in Japan in the early 90's. They hadn't been played in nearly 10 years. He was downsizing because he got a job to leave to go overseas in about a month. They were stored in the original box in a corner of his garage. He had already sold his amp and other electronics, so I brought over an old receiver I had and an mp3 player to use as input source. We untaped the boxes and unboxed these in the garage. He still had monster cable connected to them, and I hooked them up to the receiver. He had taken very good care of them. The black cabinets are very clean, with only a few slight blemishes. They sounded great, even with the old amp and the cheap mp3 player. He wouldn't take less than the asking price, but I gave him the full $1200. I'm planning on setting these up in the next few days with a brand new receiver Onkyo- 676. Looking at the manual, you can select crossovers, and bi-amping. Should I even worry about bi-amping? The default for the crossover is 100hz. Seems high. Should I select lower? Or even select "full range"? I DO have a subwoofer. Thanks for everyone chiming in. I'm excited to hook up these monsters!

Thanks. Good advice. :-)

Thanks for the input. I have a call into the seller. We'll see if it works out for the La Scala's. I asked what year these were. I'm a newbie to Klipsch, but they must be LaScala I's?

New to the forum...first post. Don't raz me too bad, but I'm selling my 28 yr. old Bose 901's, and have settled on buying Klipsch. I was about to pull the trigger on a pair of RP-280f's, but then just did a quick search on Craigslist for Klipsch, and here's what came up: https://okaloosa.craigslist.org/ele/d/klipsch-lascala-speaker/6438105847.html I just measured, and have the room for either of these. That La Scala is A LOT of speaker. I watch movies and also occasionally crank up the volume... but the last time I heard the La Scala's was about 38 years ago when I was a kid living in the P.I. and they carried lots of electronics on base in the "Far East Trader" exchange. They blew me away then. Have not heard the RP-280's, but from the reviews I've seen online, most people love them. My budget is about $1200, so either would/could work. Thoughts?
