@Mwagner14 PM me... if the forum lets you that is.

The 10 gauge wire sounds sooo much better.

A forum member just sold his 1978 pair in similar condition for $1300. His are in upstate NY.

I call these 'slow motion mods' because I put the speakers back together after each mod for an audio inspection. For a fact, each mod made a sonic improvement to my liking. They're running with a Musical Paradise MP-301MK3 and KT-150 power tubes. I was very inspired by the Heresy III and Forte III, and wondered what I could do to get a little more of the new Klipsch sonic flavor, so here it is. Swapped K77 Alnico tweeters for Dave A's SMAHL V2™ Drop In Replacements with B&C DE120 - sold the K77s Covered mid horn with Kilmat insulation, which is a much better deal than Dyna Mat - Better bass, better dispersion in the highs, richer mids Swapped caps for the Type E crossover with Sonic Caps from Crites - very nice Swapped Type E crossover for ALK Universal Crossover - Much much nicer. The speakers just came to life. Swapped wiring out for 10 gauge twisted copper - Everyone should do this. You get a nice little boost in presence, volume, tone and balance. The electrons are just happier. Here are photo links from my Google drive. They are huge. If you have a better way to upload them, that would be appreciated. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PtKyKWUfofVBxGC0zn95xLnyPrW8zSsW/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i8li5PhbLl86gGmqnC4XEp0_HHPd_YJc/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v9zjKeHoH0rxsetg_TKeeTke5O2LA6vy/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wV2YoFpXdyUPIvmojpl48BXykJL-7lzi/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1y4yWbXu9A9wtRs7D-_7jEn0pZ8BIqsAR/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zcdP0b_XFgElpJUUvVVm5fffBJ0fhy68/view?usp=sharing

Beautiful La Scalas. I hope to join the La Scala club soon. I'm also in the Washington, DC area.

The seller is a music store, so I'm pretty sure they do a lot of shipping. Hope that helps somebody.

I wish I had space for those KHorns. I'm sure they will sell.

Oops... well one may be useful to someone.

Two different mono (single) KHorn ads on FB. Not mine. A great project for someone, especially with the wooden midrange horns. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1100071003815557?ref=saved&referral_code=null https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/862611901246559?ref=saved&referral_code=null

This pair definitely has the Volti crossovers. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/508413573683406/ I'm detecting a pattern; modded La Scala prices are much higher right now. I've heard it, but now I've seen it.

Good to know. I can do better wiring all by myself. However, it would be nice to put new stuff in old La Scalas, which is an upcoming project for me.

These La Scalas are beautiful! The seller's detailed description includes factory mods. Does anyone know if Klipsch will do these mods for any ol' body? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2785724748423377/

Hopefully the IIIs will be priced a little lower to move fast.

From the Forte IV spec sheet: ENCLOSURE MATERIAL 3/4” MDF I'm looking forward to hearing the III vs IV side by side at Thursday's event.

SOLD

These are from my Heresy I speakers. They are in great shape. 3 day sale. https://www.ebay.com/itm/333800872582?_trksid=p2471758.m4704

I just did a Google search on these and found your thread. Good info. Here's a pair on Reverb if anyone is interested. https://reverb.com/item/14176627-vintage-original-klipsch-crossover-k-1000-5000-w-war-military-collectible-bangybang-tubes?bk=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJqdGkiOiI5NjhmMWZlNC03NjJkLTRjMTctODk2Mi03NDAxZTFkMWFlODEiLCJpYXQiOjE2MDUxOTU1NjAsInVzZXJfaWQiOiIzNTQyMzIiLCJzZXNzaW9uX2lkIjoiZGY0OWNkMmQtY2FlMC00YjFjLTkxZDctZmJiN2RhMGE3MTg3IiwiY29va2llX2lkIjoiMjM2MThlOWMtOTlkOS00OTYzLWFlYzktOWRkZjAzNjNjN2YwIiwicHJvZHVjdF9pZCI6IjE0MTc2NjI3Iiwic291cmNlIjoiTk9ORSJ9.k3_by0e2cuZJrO5PRpGQbMpMEFe9xmfVTMSWzmFk728

Yes. I've exchanged a few emails with the owner regarding KT-150s, and they work fine in the latest model, as well as the higher priced amps.

I'm experimenting as well. I'm getting the MP 301 tube amplifier, and will buy two KT-150 tubes for it a little later. http://www.musicalparadise.ca/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=54

These are not mine. I just happened to see the ad on Reverb. $2,800. https://reverb.com/item/25809019-reduced-klipsch-corner-horns-in-natural-birch
