RockOn4Klipsch Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I picked up a pair of La Scala's a while ago and have been a little nervous about what I might get myself into if I did start to clean them up. I've had some time at home so I decided to give it a shot. Keep in mind this is my first attempt at stripping, scrapping glue, sanding and what not. I figured I'd post some pictures of the progress, it's no where near what others are capable of but show what a complete beginner is capable of with no tools. I'm not finished but they atleast look presentable now. With out further ado, some photos of before and now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockOn4Klipsch Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 I dont think the pictures do them justice. Lot's of elbow grease, everything went well, it took 2 days to do what I've done. Next year I think I will try to strip the insides and clean them up. It was a really cool learning experience.

RockOn4Klipsch Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 I still need to redo the crossovers, I've been looking to pick a pair of Bob's 4500 xo's up or redo the AL-3's I have now, I like the sound of the AL-3's just haven't quite decided. I'm sure they will benefit greatly from refreshing the networks. I love the fullness I get listening to 2 channel from them. The low end response is much better in my room than the RF 7's are, I don't know why but I can't get the low end to show up in my listening spot with the RF 7's, the La Scala's on the other hand is definitely there. I think that given the spatial difference between the woofers is what makes them so pleasurable. When i stand up at the listening position with the RF 7's its there, when I sit down it's gone. It's completely opposite with the La Scala's , sitting down is good, standing up ....not so good. So my room is obviously affecting the overall sound.
