Pindekaas Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hello, someone is offering me a pair of LS. They have the serial number S/N 47551 with AL-3 and are in BIR RAW. Can somebody please tell me from which year these LS are? Thankyou! CR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 They are late 80's I think. I have a pair with AL-3 I just drove 12 hour round trip and paid $1100 for. I have 2 other pairs with freshly recapped AA crossovers, and the AL-3's sound better. Where I live, if they are birch, and have a nice finish and sound good, they should be worth 1000-1200 for the pair in my opinion. If they are beat up but sound good, 800-1000. If they need work, do the math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davis419b Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 For $3,500 I think I would keep looking also ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg928gts Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 They are being sold thru a audio shop here in germany and they want 2500€!!! That price is high for the U.S., but in Germany La Scalas might be hard to find and are worth more because of it. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pindekaas Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hi Greg, you might be right... they are really very good looking... Have a nice sunday... Christoph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KanedaK Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Well, I live in Belgium and never see any pair of LaScalas for sale. They are very rare in Europe as far as I'm aware. I bought my pair for 400euros with extremely beaten-up enclosures and non-original woofers, ten years ago. I'm slowly upgrading them and they now sound fantastic. I bought them without seeing them because it was a "one chance in a million". I don't feel like those are really overpriced, as they seem to be in very good shape. Talk with the shop owner, you might be able to negotiate a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Contact Werner Enge... http://forums.klipsch.com/members/Werner-Enge.aspx He can tell you if they are priced right. Super nice... EDIT: Those look just about MINT! Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
