My friend's scala (coronscala) sounds like my own original scala... he wants to sell them for 450 US$... I want to buy them and rebuild scala original boxes... what's your idea?

justinsweber Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Well if its a La Scala in a Cornwall box the crossover would have needed to be changed some. The horn is different, looks interesting. I didnt see a port in the front... if no front. Id be hard pressed to believe it was ported/designed correctly. Id pass and look to build a CS1.5 or find some real la scala's. Bad imitations you definitly do not want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David H Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 What drivers and crossovers are in it ? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 how much in your opinion they worth? My opinion would be "what is the value of the drivers/horns on the used market" I'd not reward your friend for butchering the original cabinets unless they were already trashed somehow. Then, it's a question of what's it worth to you. Since you seem inclined to make some LaScala cabinets, I'd suggest that these cabinets are near worthless to you.

khorn51 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 The price seems fair to me about what you would get if they were parted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arash Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 What drivers and crossovers are in it ? Dave It has alll the parts a scala has except K-400 horn which are replace with a hand-made smaller horn... the parts are as following: 2 X K-33 woofers in good condition 2 X K-55 mid range drivers in good condition 2 X k-77 tweeters in good condition 2 X crossovers (I don't know which model) in good condition 2 X hand-made wooden horn using for mid-range drivers except the hand-made horn the other parts worth 450$... aint it?

Since you seem inclined to make some LaScala cabinets, I'd suggest that these cabinets are near worthless to you. as I'm from Iran and considering that just there is one pair of scala in Iran which is mine that I almost broke my neck to buy them through India (and this pair my friend changed the boxes) I think its a good opportunity to buy them and make new original boxes to have a new scala.... you're right cabinets are worthless for me but if I manage to make original boxes for the parts that I got them for just 450$ then I Have a pair of scala plus a empty these two empty boxes... Do you think these boxes can be used to make some Bass speaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arash Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 The price seems fair to me about what you wou yeah... I think If there were parts with no boxes then 450$ was a good.... I can use the parts in new Scala boxes which I'm gonna build and use this odd boxes to create somehting else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 as I'm from Iran . . . Hello arash, Where are you located now? If you're in Iran, the existing modified speakers are much more valuable to you than if you've moved "from Iran" to the US. Your opportunities to get intact La Scalas would be greater in the US.

Your opportunities to get intact La Scalas would be greater in the US. yes... you're a hundred percent right... buy you consider that "there is no other Klipsch speaker ever in Iran" ... My LS and this modified LS which is for my friend are the only Klipsch speakers in Iran (no mention PC speakers and earphone and etc...)... keep this in mind I think it worths for 450$ and cost some money to build new LS boxes and make it alive again... ... you know what, there are a group of DIYers in Iran who love sound... love Lamp Amps... love horny sound... they spend thuasends of $ to earn what they love but none of them has a Klipsch (LS, Klipschorn, Cornwall, belle ...) I just have klipsch ... that's it you can read the weblog of Iranian speaker and sound systems DIYers (translated to Eng. using google) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 So you're currently in Iran, correct? If so, get the speakers and enjoy building new cabinets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
