cyto Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Still working on the WAF and I don't think the black La Scala's will fit the bill. How much can I expect to have to pay to get a set of woodgrain La Scalas? Black ones seem to be going for $600+ Age really doesn't matter and replacing xover parts is fine.

chaywood Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Time to learn how to paint faux wood grain. See for example... You can make those black La Scalas look like wood with just a little paint and time... CH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I agree. As far as I know (which isn't a lot), the LaScala wasn't really offered in any woodgrains until they came out with the LaScala II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 The majority of Klipsch LaScala that I sold were birch stained Maple with a black top grill. Walnut stain was also offered, but IMO the birch looks better in a Maple stain. Brown and cane grills were also available, either full or top only. Un-finished birch was also popular.

Groomlakearea51 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 If you remove the paint (which sounds like a pain, and it is...), and thoroughly remove the residue, you can experiment with certain stains which will cause the birch grain to "pop". There are also a number of techniques using different stains to accent grain patterns. Jewitt's book is a great resource on "how to". It's expensive, but it covers everything from A-Z including tools, supplies, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
