I did 3 years in Vicenza 73-76, as a paratrooper....long, long time ago!

 

The LaScala II replaced them around 20 years ago...so exactly which "parts" need replacing?  Did yours come with K-33 or K-43 woofers?  and what year did you purchase them?

Lots of parts are available, some upgrades are also available...pics of your needs and the speakers, themselves wouild be a big help in determining what you need....and why you need it.

I left Klipsch in fall of 1983, so your tweeters should have still been K77M's which may or may not have included the old "Z-kit" for front mounting....You probably have the old aluminum-alloy cast K-400 midrange horns, but you COULD opt for the K-401 replacements.  Your balancing networks probably need at least a re-furbishing...depending on how bad they look...and if your woofers are not damaged or blown, then they SHOULD still be good to go!  All Lascalas really NEED is a decent 5 wpc channel to rock the entire neighborhood!  Just because they "can handle" 250 WPC doesn't mean they NEED anywhere near that much going into them!  Lots of form members are perfectly satisfied with an old mid 1970's H/K 730 twin-powered receiver pushing them...(very conservatively) rated at 35 wpc...sometimes less is actually MORE....if you get my drift.😉

You've got your specs mixed up a bit: the 250 watts and +- 10dB aren't related.  The first is the power handling of the speakers and the second is the variance in frequency output within the LaScala's range that it can produce (such as 60Hz-17kHz +- 10dB)

You mean 38 to 17khz

My LaScalas were purchased in 1984 and I’m just trying to refurbish them back to original if possible. Thru the years they’ve taken a beating, they held their own during their stereo wars days, we’ve seen the Bose 901s go up in smoke along with the jbls the pioneers the kenwoods etc etc, I have never regretted buying Klipsch, I always thought if you ordered a part for something you got that part my crossover is a type al the woofers of course are k-33-E with the square magnet can’t seem to get new ones of them from Klipsch any more tried to order new tweeters and got diaphragm kits, why can’t I just get the tweeters or squeakers for that matter

Purchased them in NATO Base in Italy and shipped from Hope Arkansas to my home.

     The specs on them were 250 watts per channel plus or minus 10 dB. The 3 best soundings speakers there were was Infinity’s Reference standard the Klipschorn  and the  LaScalas, at the time their prices were 10k, 3k,and1.2k respectively and I got the LaScalas.

     But now as I try to refurbish them I can’t seem to get replacement parts I get replacement kits from the mfgr. One would think you could get replacements from the mfgr or information where I could get a replacement it’s  almost like if I want replacements I have to buy new speakers

these?

I tried to order a pair from Klipsch to refurbish a set of 84 LaScalas even gave them the serial numbers off my set all they could tell me was they don’t have any and I would have to look elsewhere of course mine don’t look like that, how can a manufacturer not have replacement parts. I guess that’s what I get for having expensive stuff
