BassmanBruce Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I got my first pair of klipsch speakers last weekend. They are a 1980 pair of La Scala's. While transporting them, one of the Klipsch LOGO plates, on the front of the speaker, dissapeared and I can't find it. Anyone out there have one I might purchase? It drives me crazy seeing the glue where the plate used to be. Thanks, Bruce in South Carolina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[<)] You'll probably need to update the crossovers, if they're original they should be updated/replaced. I bought new crossovers from Bob and Michael Crites ---- CLICK HERE He has replacement parts and you can do the work, or he can do the work. Or, just buy new ones and swap them out, like I did. They are great guys to do business with and Bob is an active member of this forum. "BEC" is his handle (I think). Do a search on "crossovers" and you'll find many options. Email or call Klipsch about the "Badge", I'm sure they can help or steer you in the right direction! Again, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Dennie PS Next time, let's be a little more careful moving them.....

BassmanBruce Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Good morning Dennie, The pair of La Scalas I bought are the raw birch, with no grill cloth. The logo badge was glued to the "motor board" just below the midrange opening. It may have not been there when I bought them, but now it definitely not there on one of the speakers. I got a good price on the pair, but there were lots of problems. I had to replace the tweeter and squaker diaphragms in one speaker, and went ahead and did the Sonicap change out on both "AA" crossovers. Also, on the other speaker, both the woofer and midrange were "out of phase", even though the wire color coding was hooked up correctly!?! I have a good ear, and caught that pretty quickly. Other than all that, I have them singing pretty nicely now. I am driving them with a 1964 Marantz 7c preamp and 8b power amp. Mostly vinyl here with a 1971 Thorens TD125 AB MKII turntable, with a Denon DL160 high output moving coil cartridge. I can't say for certain that the logo badge was there when I bought them, and I was pretty carefull loading and unloading them in my Dakota pick up truck. Bob Crites tells me that Klipsch no longer sells them, and that an Ebay would be the place to watch/buy them. Just thought that maybe someone here might have one. Thanks, and best to you, Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
