I recently signed on to the Amazon HD family plan from Spotify, $200 a year. Happy with it so far. Is that an option for you in Europe?

Welcome! I recently picked up a MINT pair of 1982 Belles for $2k. I love them. I've had KHorns and the Belles are preferable to me as didn't have the ideal listening room for he KHorns. The ones you are looking at appear to be newer. I would echo what others have said: The price seems a bit high for the condition,however, they are worth what you are willing to pay If you have a great room with corners, you may want to consider KHorns

Klipsch Belle as center channel - How do I hook up?
joeydingo replied to dbass2's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
I'm a huge fan of quad sound using two sets of speakers (Belles front, Lascalas rear). I use one 18 watt tube amp and an Adcom GSF-6 speaker selector. I've had friends say they prefer one pair of speakers at a time, but I really like the room filling effect of two pairs at a time. It isn't "pure" two channel, but I guess I can listen to my system any way I like.............. I used to have a pair of Adcom monoblocks, but really prefer the rebuilt Dynaco tube amp. -
Please guys!!! No matter who is right or wrong here, this is really trashing the good Karma of the thread and the idea behind it. How about taking the "bump and posting" argument somewhere else? Thank you.

So said Hope Beck at Klipsch back in 1992. I imagine that a lot of people have done their own work to put grill cloth across the front of their Lascalas, but apparently, it wasn't done often at the factory. I can appreciate both looks, but think this is a cool alternative look. -

Should more Lascalas have been made this way?

Obviously, Win Lewis had taken the time to write Klipsch to in fact verify that there were some factory "full screen" LaScalas manufactured. Yes, inded there were---approximately 20 pairs. -
So I really DO have PWK's signature on the back of my LaScalas.................

When I went to purchase my '74 LaScalas in Dayton, OH from John Bowling, he gave me some literature from the previous owner (Winford Lewis from Rochester, NY) verifying that the LaScalas actually had labels with PWK's autograph on the back of each one -
Joe, seems as though you've created a lot of good karma here. PayPal funds sent.

K horns Best receiver/amp for my first set of k horns
joeydingo replied to Eldavis's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
I'd have to agree with the "Tubes and Horns" quotes, although there are many nice sounding SS amps out there. The biggest dumbass mistake I think I've made is thinking "big speakers, big amp". We all know we have between 99-105db/watt depending on model and year of production of Heritage line speakers, but you'd be amazed at the giant amps hooked up to them. And I'm guilty as charged there, and sure many others here would agree they've made that mistake. I am currently powering a pair of Belles AND LaScalas about as loud as you want to listen to them (or at least as loud as you SHOULD listen to them) with an 18 watt Triode Dynaco ST70 rebuilt by Will Vincent. -

PWK might have considered it "Heresy" to use an EQ, but it sures tames those K77s tweeters down a bit in a relatively small room -

Kind of cool that that original owner gave me a letter from Klipsch verifying that these 1974 LaScalas came from the factory with the "full screen" factory grille option. Until I found this pair, I had never known that factory option existed -

I have seen and heard the Volti Vittoras in person and they are fantastic. However, a mint pair of Belles just happened to fit my budget a whole lot better! However, if you have the cash----Greg Roberts has done a fantastic job on the Vittoras.

I have looked for years for a pair of Belles that weren't beat to crap, feel so fortunate to have finally found a pair. -

Picked up these 1982 Belles and they simply cannot be told from new except for the Crites crossovers. What a fantastic find! I love them. -

I just bought a BEAUTIFUL pair of Belles 1982 in Red Oak, picking them up tomorrow. Went to see them at the seller's home and they could not be told from new except for the Crites crossover update. What a score!!! I'll post pics once I get them home.

Professional Equivalent to the Heresy
joeydingo replied to chisoxpurdue's topic in Klipsch Pro Audio
Funny you should ask, that was a model I never knew existed until I saw them listed on EBay. Certainly closer to KP301s than a Heresy. Beyond that, pretty sure they are a relatively rare bird, so might be interesting to own a pair simply for the sake of rarity.
