Yes, the scalawag does roll-off at a higher low frequency than the k-horn. You have to realize the original intent of the lascala was not to compete with the venerable k-horn, but to provide a speaker for use on a flat-bed trailer during political campaign of Winthrop Rockefeller when he ran against Orville Faubus for governor of Arkansas back in mid-1960's. It had to be able to stand-alone and produce bass with no wall or corner behind it, but it also had to be easily maneuverable so that it could be hauled around. Its combination of maneuverability and acccurate sound reproduction made it become a standard production item...originally most popular for stage applications. But it also became popular in homes as a fully-horn-loaded center channel between two k-horns...which led PWK to develop the Belle Klipsch...so that there would be a "pretty" version of it for that center channel use in homes. Truth be told, the Cornwall outperforms the lascala in an interior environment where it can be placed in a corner or along a wall, but the cornwall, even though it produces more low-end bass, is NOT horn loaded in the woofer section, therefore looses some of the clarity in that area that the lascala has. Although the lascala is a great speaker in its own right, it doesn't measure up to the k-horn in performance...it was never intended to do so...the only way you can get the sound of a k-horn is to have a k-horn...plain and simple! ------------------ If you want to send a private message, or have already done so, be aware I have not as yet been able to retrieve them.

Moon, Sorry, but so far, I don't know of any receiver that has a built-in device that will say: "Warning, Will Robinson, Warning...I am now clipping!" But, your ears should give you a clue...and if they don't...and you continue to overdrive the speaker, your blown tweeter or woofer definitely will!! ------------------ If you want to send a private message, or have already done so, be aware I have not as yet been able to retrieve them.

Moon, Sound waves in their normal graphic representation as viewed on an audio oscilloscope, are seen as a line that arcs up to a point where it CURVES over, sloping back downwards to the same point off its horizontal centerline, then CURVING under yet again, and sloping upwards...repeating this sequence continually...up and over...down and under...etc. These high points at the "roll-overs" are called peaks...the low points being called troughs. In a natural soundwave these peaks and troughs have an arc they follow at the height or depth of them, respectively. The real-world distance from peak to peak OR trough to trough on a horizontal plane represents the frequency of the soundwave, measured in Hertz (Hz). The numeric determination of a particular sound wave's HZ is determined by how many times its peak(or trough) passes through an imaginary stationary VERTICAL plane in one second...therefore its cycles-per-second or frequency(Hz). In other words, if a particular soundwave's peaks(or troughs) pass through this vertical plane 32 times in one second, then it is a 32Hz frequency soundwave(low "C" on an organ). These peaks and troughs naturally have an arc, but when reproduced, if the speaker is NOT accurate...OR...if the power to the speaker is inadequate...OR the signal is otherwise "distorted", then the reproduced soundwave is "clipped" at its peaks and troughs...just think of this as follows: As the soundwave representation slopes upward toward its arcing peak, if it is clipped, it doesn't make it there, but instead, it stops at some point along that linear representation and takes a hard horizontal "short-cut" towards the point where it intersects with the intended downslope, then takes another hard turn, following that slope downward as intended...this process repeats itself at the trough...etc...etc...etc.. In other words, in the graphic illustration, it appears as if the peaks and troughs have been "clipped" off. One of the reasons that accurate reproduction of low Bass soundwaves requires such a large horn to reproduce them, is because these soundwaves have greater distance between peak to peak and trough to trough...and in order to reproduce them, without clipping, the sides of the horn have to meet the distance of that peak to peak/trough to trough for that particular sound wave frequency. The reason PWK developed the Klipschorn (folded horn)was to have a horn speaker that could reproduce these low frequencies accurately without clipping, but still have a horn small enough to fit into a room. ------------------ If you want to send a private message, or have already done so, be aware I have not as yet been able to retrieve them.

Speaking of that pool, another story comes to mind: Back when I worked there, there was normally a "slow period" that occurred in early summer, when there were not enough orders coming in for speakers to require the plant to operate at full-load. Once the area in the plant for storage of packed speakers filled-up, generally, a "temporary voluntary lay-off" was put into effect. The most senior employees were given the first opportunity to be selected for this lay-off...and then on down the line. Many of the senior employees had to be there in any case, so it generally boiled down to anybody wanting to do so was given the opportunity to take a little "unemployment insurance-paid break." Although many took this break, there were always some who didn't. These employees would work in the plant where something needed doing, but sometimes they would be doing yardwork and such outside...something to keep them busy. On occassion, during these periods, employees would be sent into town to do yardwork at PWK's home. Whenever word went out that some of the employees would be going there, most of them began saying..."ME!, ME!"...because it was a much more enjoyable atmosphere there than at the plant. On one occassion, Gwin Cox(whose signature ,many of you will find on your speaker labels as "inspected by"), and a few others were sent to PWK's home in the early afternoon to "do a few things around the house" there. Gwin had been there before, and when Miss Valerie, came to the door, Gwin told her that PWK had called out to the plant that morning and said he needed a few folks to do some things there. Miss Valerie told Gwin that PWK was out back by the pool, and she would take them on back. Gwin said she knew the way and that it wasn't necessary for Miss Valerie to do so if she was busy...so Gwin led the small group through house toward the pool. As Gwin got to the back door and opened it, she looked out and saw that PWK had just gotten out of the pool, BUT she also noticed that, shall we say,..."PWK wasn't as attired as completely as one would normally expect to see when a man is swimming"...LOL! Gwin backed up and started to walk back into the house, as PWK yelled out: "Oh, don't mind me, I always swim this way! I find swimming trunks too confining! As a matter of fact, since it is so hot out today, if any of you want to jump in the pool to cool off a bit, then feel free to do so!" Well, Gwin looked at the others, then back at PWK, and said "I would sure like a swim, but none of us have swimsuits." PWK hollered back: "Well, you can jump in IN your clothes, or WITHOUT them...it won't bother me if it doesn't bother you!....OR...you can look in that chest of drawers in there and grab a clean swimsuit...lots of them in there in all sizes...bound to be enough for all of you there." Well, they looked in that chest, grabbed swimsuits, changed into them, and joined PWK in the pool for a bit, until he got out, saying "Stay in there and cool down some, I'll tell you when it is time to get out and get to work! It's too hot out right now anyway!" He never did come back to get them until it approached quitting time and they headed back out to the plant to clock out!! Gwin, when relating this tale, used to say: "Now I know why Paul has such a tall privacy fence in his back yard!" ------------------ If you want to send a private message, or have already done so, be aware I have not as yet been able to retrieve them.

Personally, I think Klipsch should come out with some BOSE logo toilet paper! I'd certainly wipe with it!!! On second thought, maybe not...if it is produced truly accurate to the Logo, then it would probably be coarsely-textured thin single-ply!! ------------------ If you want to send a private message, or have already done so, be aware I have not as yet been able to retrieve them.

Craig, Welcome to the forum...good to have another new person here who has a valid question instead of just wanting to ramble on about nothing or attempt to open a can of worms, as a few have tended to do. Although I don't have the codes, the serial number will give the year of manufacture in its letter code, and the number in that series from that year. With that information, the types of components may be determined (information I also don't have at this time). I am sure that within a day or so many of the other forum members here will have given you all the info you need once you post a serial number of a speaker. Again, welcome!! ------------------ If you want to send a private message, or have already done so, be aware I have not as yet been able to retrieve them.

Hey Folks, Alot of people talk about replacing their fine Klipsch crossovers with more modern units...as far as I am concerned...whatever floats yer boat!!..and there ARE some great other upgrade crossovers out there...with the excellent ALK being the most popular! In these forums I have read that some consider the Klipsch networks in the older speakers as "works of art" in their own right....that's fine too!! But, what alot of you may NOT realize is (at least while I was there from 1976-1983) that the crossovers were NOT built at the factory and also were NOT built by a normal sub-contractor company. In the cabinet shop there was an old hand-cranked lever press that had sharpened nails set into a form at different locations on it. "Scrap" from the sawing process for the loudspeaker cabinets was sawn to size for the network boards. These were then slid into the press, and a lever was cranked down producing pilot holes for the screws involved in attaching the components of the crossover network to the board. The boards were then put into a jig and pilot holes for mounting them inside the speaker cabinets were then drilled. After that, they were taken home by a handful of employees and former employees(retired), who would build the crossovers or whose immediate family members would build them at home. They were compensated more than fairly on a "per piece" basis for the completed crossover networks. All the wiring for these began life on a reel that these workers took home...where they would cut it to length, add connectors, etc...and then take the other elements and install them. When one looks at these old crossover networks, one must be able to picture family members sitting around the kitchen table after supper and/or on week-ends, with wire cutters, wire strippers, a few soldering pencils, etc....talking with each other as they crafted these "works of art." The one family member who worked at the factory during normal working hours overseeing the quality control as they all worked together...just as that one individual paid prideful attention to detail while at the plant during working hours. Funny thing is...I can't remember any of the crossovers ever being turned down, after testing, for a problem involving build quality....wonder why? ------------------ If you want to send a private message, or have already done so, be aware I have not as yet been able to retrieve them.

I agree with one making an upgrade to their cross-over network if he or she feels the need or want...but the drivers will last pretty much a lifetime(if not more) if taken care of. Component upgrades were always an option when I worked there...Many sent their speakers back for upgrades...the key was to do an ENTIRE upgrade, and NOT just a tweeter...or midrange...or woofer. Either way, as time goes on there are alot of folks who dearly wish NOW that they had a 1951 k-horn (for instance) that had been left "as-is" by its previous owner...something to think about. As for Klipsch crossovers, I will put up a small info posting about them in a few minutes elsewhere in this thread. Hey...Al K....I have a pair of Scalawags heading my way...built in the 70's...I may want a pair of crossovers sometime soon for em...talk to me!! ------------------ If you want to send a private message, or have already done so, be aware I have not as yet been able to retrieve them.

Clueless, I wasn't just talking about molding..I am talking serious wall treatments, serious FINE-woodworking, etc...molding is finish carpentry...NOT fine-woodworking...bigtime difference...and as for the cost of molding...it AIN'T CHEAP!!!...especially if it is stain-grade hardwood!!! When I do fine-woodworking, there is absolutely NO sign to the eye of ANY fastener used...I don't mean that I putty up nail holes, I mean there aren't any to start with!!...That's just ONE of the differences between finish carpentry and fine woodworking!! And she got ALOT of FINE-woodworking in that room from my labor!! I also applied the finish to all of this according to what her "decorator" deemed would go best for his color scheme...and if that scheme ever changes(and I know it will!!) she will spend a fortune having to change those finishes too!! I tried to explain that when they picked out the finishes, but to no avail!! Her decorator had this grand plan to attempt a mix of French Provincial, late Victorian, Neo-classical (in a mix of Doric and Corinthian), and Arts and Crafts woodwork with colors best left in a Persian rug...and that mix just don't "fly"!!! Now she has a beautiful living room...IF...one wants a room to look like a New Orleans "high-class" cathouse from the mid-to-late 1800's!!!...LOL!

As most of you know by now, I worked as a speaker builder at Klipsch from 1976-1983. When I first started working at Klipsch, about 15 minutes BEFORE the "Lunch Buzzer" went off, another buzzer would go off. When this other buzzer would sound, SOME of the employees would leave their work stations, go outside, and disappear...all heading in the same direction. Before the actual lunch buzzer sounded, though, most of them were already back and eating lunch. After a few days of watching this, I asked what they were doing. It seems that back in the 1960's, PWK had found out he had some lung problems and had to have surgery for them. From that time forward, he began paying very close attention to his health and fitness. He was against smoking, and would tell employees he saw with a cigarette, that "You really should try to get rid of that bad habit." Nothing more. He also was an avid swimmer, since he saw how "complete a form of excercise" it was. With the health of his employees in mind, and realizing many of them did not get enough good vascular excercise, he had instituted a strictly voluntary program where any employee who wished to do so, could take off 15 minutes early at lunch and either run, jog, or briskly walk a pre-determined one-mile course. This would remain part of the employee's "on-the-clock" time and allowed for a cool down period for the employee after the excercise before eating lunch. The fact that he actually would pay the hourly wage to an employee for 15 minutes of the employee's time so that the employee would get some cardiovascular excercise that, at the most, took 8 minutes to accomplish, always amazed me. I have never seen this before or since in any civilian job I have had. Although, periodically, in the seven years I worked there, the "number-crunchers" attempted to do away with this policy, it was still in place when I left, due to its intended REMOVAL from the company policy being soundly vetoed by PWK, himself!!! PWK was a tall, lean, and well-muscled man back then. He had a well-weathered look about him, and an imposing demeaner. Just the way he looked commanded respect! With his deep voice, it only added to this demeaner...but underneath all of this was a very kind man concerned for the benefit of those who worked for him. Even though PWK was in his very late 7th decade of life, when I worked there, his attention to his health and fitness were such that he took great pride in them. For a man his age, he was astonishingly fit, and limber!! On occassion, he would punctuate how limber he was while walking the sidewalks in downtown Hope. As he would walk along, whenever he encountered a parking meter, he would ease over toward it, and swing his leg completely over it, almost in the manner of a hurdler, as he walked past it...doing this to every parking meter he encountered on his stroll. Whenever this occurred, whoever was walking with him was very much impressed, as were the townfolk of Hope! ------------------ If you want to send a private message, or have already done so, be aware I have not as yet been able to retrieve them.

OOOOOOOOOOOOPS!!!! Talked to Engineer Jim and he swears I got the hollywood bowl story mixed up with another story where his ampzilla was concerned...said he wasn't there yet when the hollywood bowl thing happened, but it DID happen, just with another engineer in charge...and he can't offhand remember where it was that the ampzilla story occured...but we both distinctly remember the hollywood bowl story and those MCM1900's did have a tendency to peg SPL meters at a distance...at ANY LOCATION...and Jim did like to brag about what those systems did when his ampzilla was hooked up to em...and it WAS Jim I remember doing the mentioned modifications to the system when he first arrived at Klipsch, so....sorry for gettin the stories mixed up!! He also still stands by his story that the ladder was knocked out from under him by that limb, and that he wasn't actually sittin on the limb when it broke loose(I believe ya Jim!!), but he ended up with a crushed ankle and broken leg and some broken ribs...NOT a broken hip...sorry folks for gettin some of the details mixed up...been a very long time since all of it happened!!! Hey, Jim...gonna come down and harass you and Becky someday soon!!! Tell her I said "HI!" And thanks for straightening me out on some of the details and for being so cool about me "tellin on ya!"

I just wish the old original yellow Klipsch "bullshit" t-shirts would be made available again...they haven't had those in almost 25 years, and the only one I have is not in exactly the shape to wear around anymore...but I still have it...will never part with it, either...so don't ask!!!...LOL! T-shirt is bright yellow...has pic of PWK on front with goatee in suit with stetson and string-tie, below the pic it has "KLIPSCHIRT" in large antique block letters...back has one of them cartoon bubbles(a really big one!!!) with "BULLSHIT" inside it in large antique letters and at end of the little pointer of the bubble has "Paul" in his handwriting with "PAUL W. KLIPSCH" in smaller letters below it. Anybody here ever seen one?...I am sure they would sell like hotcakes...always did back then...just created problems for some folks wearing them at times, so that design was dropped...real bummer, too! Bye the way, "Klipsch, a Legend in Sound" did not become the company motto until late 70's/early 80's..before that it was "Bullshit." Maybe I outta take front and back pics of that shirt sometime and post them? ------------------ If you want to send a private message, or have already done so, be aware I have not as yet been able to retrieve them.

OK, guys... So it looks like I have a real winner with this Dynaco FM-3, huh? That's a relief!! Now, While keeping in mind that I am a poor boy, and will likely have to look for a good deal on eBay...any suggestions for a good match to this tuner in a tube pre-amp and amp? I will be using this set-up for 1970's and earlier "Heritage" models...hopefully eventually a pair of k-horns, but the lascalas and heresys will have to do for now. I have been kinda thinkin about Dynaco ST-70 and for the preamp I just don't know...so give me some hints here, please. Also I would like to be able to have a center channel eventually and need advice on this. Plan at this stage is to try somehow to have current set-up with the ole H/K900+ switchable with the tube set-up...so I can use the speakers with either one of the sources...and have the components that go to the sources switchable to either preamp set-up...if at all feasable. Any input on doing this will be appreciated. Thanks, guys! ------------------ If you want to send a private message, or have already done so, be aware I have not as yet been able to retrieve them.

Moon, I hear ya!!! Last fall a woman I know dropped over 50,000 bucks into her living room area in a house she had just bought (for 250,000 bucks!!!)to have it match two rather expensive matched pieces(a couch and a chair that aren't even comfortable!!!) just because the "decorator" she had hired agreed with her that the woodwork and rest of the "treatment" he had sketched-up (in order to suck every penny he could out of her in this endeavor)could be done to match those two monstrosities!!! At least she got quality woodwork done, cause I did it...but if she ever changes out those two pieces (and she eventually will!!!), the entire room will have to be re-done again!!! INCLUDING different finish on the damned woodwork, most likely!!! Is alot better to coordinate a room to some nice k-horns...at least they will be there awhile!!!...LOL! ------------------ If you want to send a private message, or have already done so, be aware I have not as yet been able to retrieve them.

Gregorious, The change-over to the screw-on top occured the year yours were built...1976...that fall. The builders didn't like it, but it sure made the folks in final assembly alot happier!! Even then it wasn't ALL the LaScalas that got the screw-on tops...for a number of reasons...mostly just ones that were gonna be sold as "raw" ones with no finish on them when they left the plant...but a few clear laquered ones had screw-on tops...very few!! The problem with the screw-on tops was ensuring there was a good flush appearanc when the top was installed...the builders, sanders, and finishers hated em....but the final assembly folks loved em....alot of the LaScalas with screw-on tops were intended for soundstage re-inforcement, and sometimes an idiot would blow a tweeter...and have to replace it...it just made it easier to replace them. The downside was that screw-on tops arent glued on like the nailed versions...normally, just screwed-on. ------------------ If you want to send a private message, or have already done so, be aware I have not as yet been able to retrieve them.

Chempharma, Thanks for the close-ups...now I can see that you dont have trim inserts inside the framework, but that you 45-degree chamfered the frame members instead...I was wondering why you wouldn't have just done that to start with, instead of adding moulding that had been chamfered...LOL! I guess you used a rabbet on the inside edges of the top pieces to support the glass, huh?...anyway...great job...keep this in mind though...over the years that blonde maple will eventually begin getting darker with alot of red in it, unless you completely sealed the pieces on all sides, including the back so that no air can get to the wood....the high iron content of maple causes it to get that darker and darker "patina" over the years as the iron in it oxidixes...kinda a dark rusty color, eventually. But that will add some bit of an even more endearing look to them, won't it? ------------------ If you want to send a private message, or have already done so, be aware I have not as yet been able to retrieve them.

CC109, Heresys don't have enough bass for ya huh?...Well, if you put em on the damned FLOOR where they are intended to be instead of sittin em up on another skinny speaker where you can't "feel" the bass, then maybe you wouldn't have that problem!!!! Heresys produce plenty of Bass!!...It doesn't extend as LOW, because it is just fired by one 12" woofer, with no porting...but when the Heresy was first designed by PWK, it was intended for use as a CENTER channel speaker between two K-horns in a three-speaker stereo array. People in this forum get way too caught up in how the speakers PWK designed "don't go low enough in the bass end." Well, when PWK designed his speakers he had one goal in mind: To produce loudspeakers that he could sit in front of in his home while listening to a good recording of a complete philharmonic symphony orchestra, and what he would hear is how it sounded when it was recorded!!! In other words, by closing his eyes he would feel like he was actually there....based on what he heard through the speakers!!!...Accurate and efficient loudspeakers that made the MUSIC sound real...just like being there!!! That is all...the full MUSICAL spectrum....NOT the bass you feel in an earthquake...NOT the low-end you hear when a car crashes in a movie...NONE of that crap...but MUSIC as originally produced WITHOUT electronic amplification or having been synthesized. And he did one helluva job, in my opinion!!! That is what the Heritage series is ALL ABOUT!!...PWK's own designs...not those of others who designed speakers as engineers while working there...but the ones PWK designed himself!!!

Gregorius, The LaScala tops were originally nailed on in the early versions, but due to the difficulty of installing the components into the tweeter/midrange housing from the rear with the top installed, a crosspiece at the top rear was added to strengthen the cabinet, for its journey through the plant to final assembly, where...after the components were installed, the pre-finished top that accompanied the speaker through the plant was screwed on ....was just alot easier to install the components before the top went on...plain and simple....that strengthening crosspiece in the rear also served as a mounting point for the screwed-on top. So....filling in those holes and laquering them will make it more difficult to replace a tweeter if it is ever needed....but if you don't think that will ever need to be done, or don't mind the hassle of dealing with that if the time ever comes, then by all means fill them in...your call.

Mace, If I remember correctly, those red dots on the midrange horn driver are to tell where the threads on em start so that when the final assembler goes to screw em into the horn lens after mounting it inside the cabinet, they have an alignment point so they don't accidentally strip out the threads on the softer aluminum alloy horn lens. The tweeters were already fully assembled , so they dont have that mark on em. ------------------ If you want to send a private message, or have already done so, be aware I have not as yet been able to retrieve them.

Trader, Look at it this way, PWK has had 45 years in which to improve the Cornwall he designed. And he did alot of trying things before he ever got to its design, and continued tinkering trying to improve it since then...I sincerely believe that if there was a way, PWK certainly would have found it by now. BTW...the woofer used in the Cornwall IS one that can be used in a sealed enclosure...LaScalas, Belles, and K-horns are designed as sealed enclosures. ------------------ If you want to send a private message, or have already done so, be aware I have not as yet been able to retrieve them.
