jhoak Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Some of you may remember the rebuild of these La Scalas a little over a year ago. Well... I never was really happy with the appearance. What I really wanted was something that looked more like the La Scala II. To that end I drug them to the garage a month or so ago and set about making some cosmetic changes. The end result is shown below. I like the contrast of the trim on the top and bottom edges of the tophat but I'm not too keen on the black. What I ended up with is strips of cherry given a wipe of dark walnut stain. The contrast between the cherry and the red oak is much more apparent in person than in the pictures. Yes they're for sale. Or will be very soon. I've got my heart set on building a pair of cherry Belles but can't fund the project until these are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennoc442 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I need to come over and hear those bad boys before you sell them! I love my belles but I think the La Scala and Klipschorn is a step up, with the bigger mid horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoak Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Come on... I'm a little over an hour from Orlando. The beer is cold and the music is loud... [] They sound pretty good to my ears. What I did as part of this re-do is take them back to all original drivers. They have K-33E (square magnet) woofers, K-55V squawker drivers on new K-401 horns, and K-77M (rectangular magnet) tweeters. The only non-Klipsch parts are the crossovers I built using a derivitive of the ALK Jr. design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
