There's also two pair of LaScalas listed in the 2nd day auction.
I think it's 2 singles. Photos show the same serial # on both lots.

Does this mean you are going to pay me a visit soon? I have a box of inputs and industrial handles and old style corners that needs to go to someone before I trash them. You work on old stuff far more than I do now.
Yep, and definitely hang onto that box for me. I'm keeping my eye open for projects as time and $ allow. I'll shout at you.

Interesting stuff Dave. Looking forward to seeing these.

Here's another hint for y'all. Build the Anarchy Sub box a few inches thicker and use the 8" Tang Band Sub driver instead. This will give you another 6 db more output capability if you use the next up plate amp also for a few bucks more.

Old post here. I'm really thinking about building a couple of these Anarchy boxes as my 1st build. I'll be using them as bases for LSIs. I'd like to use 8" drivers, but the Tang Band is unavailable and requires ordering 50. I'm a relative newbie and don't understand driver specs well enough to choose a replacement. @ClaudeJ1would this one be suitable? https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-DCS205-4-8-Classic-Subwoofer-4-Ohm-295-200

Why do people feel the need to mention where they work at all? It's interesting how our identities are tied to our work.

@MookieStl I remember your HIP build. Very cool. How did you do your corner pieces?

@chassell, that SMAHL is the cherry on top.
When I got these LSI they were rough. One had a mouse-eaten woofer. @Dave Ahappened to have a K-43 so I drove down to Lynnville. I came home with the K-43, all the capacitors I needed for the AA networks and a set of tweeters. One-stop shopping.

I just completed a pair of '78s that had really rough trim. I experimented with several methods. The easiest and best turned out to be a scotchbrite-type pad for my angle grinder available at Lowes. Get a couple of packs. I clamped trim to a saw horse and used the angle grinder. It's very controllable and takes the anodized layer right off. I did not try to remove all the deep gouges, but left them for character. It will leave faint swirls but I removed these polishing by hand with aluminum polish. Far easier than sanding. I was happy with my results. Also, those corner pieces aren't aluminum. They're some sort of plated metal...mine were peeling. I sanded and painted them. Plating or powder coating the corners would be options, but pricey.

I have used that 15" driver in that Dayton sub I recommended, used that in my first THT as well.
Is this the sub you're talking about? https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-SUB-1500-15-150-Watt-Powered-Subwoofer-300-634

Big fan of the Audio Technica VM540ML here. Tracks like a freight train and is very accurate and revealing. Some don’t like that, though. I’ve been a happy AT user for over 20 years now. My second turntable has an Ortofon Blue, and I like that one, too, but still prefer the VM540.
I couldn't be happier with my VM540ml. It increased my vinyl enjoyment tremendously.

I will look into reinforcing the woofer door panel although I gotta say, after trying unsuccessfully to remove it a few days ago, I might not need to do too much reinforcing.
That seal around the access panel turns to goo after a period of years. You'll need to work patiently to remove it (wide paint scrapers worked for me to pry it open without damaging anything). Clean all the old seal residue off, check out the woofers and get new sealing gasket material from parts express.

@gilligan your current LSI have better bass because the LSI Cabinet is made with a slightly thicker and therefore stiffer Plywood versus the LS
That fiberglass coating stiffens things up considerably also.

I think "pinning" it to the top of the technical/mods section would be appropriate.

Can someone give me approximate dates? When were KP-301s manufactured? When did Klipsch switch from the KP-3.0A to the K-3.0B balancing network? (mine are KP-3.0Bs)

What info are you looking for? Here are the specs:
Date of manufacture mostly. Both are 301As. One has holes in motorboard for grill attachment, the other doesn't.

I've got a mixed set of KP-301s that I'd like info on, if available. The serial numbers are 048393859 and 280293216. Thanks!

KP-250s maybe with some funky grill work and stands. For $150, I'd try if closer.
