TheBeast Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Now that ive finally saved up some cash im starting to search for a pair of used La Scalas to start of my HT. There arent any on ebay, the ones on audiogon are WAY to expensive, and there arent any on Ubid. Are there any other places to look for them? Newspapers and such around here never have anything good in them. Has anyone else here had much luck trying to find them? Im hoping to get a pair for a reasonable price (under $800) by the end of the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpgwagon Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Hang in there! You'll find them and it will be worth the wait. Also I would look for a mid/late 70's pair. ------------------ http://gallery.consumerreview.com/webcrossing/images/MYSTUFF.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mobley Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 There will be plenty on ebay between now and then. set up a search deal on ebay that sends you an email every time something named "lascala" or "la scala" gets listed. I did and I was amazed at how often they came up. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDBRbuilder Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Nicer condition LaScalas normally run from 1200-1500 bucks a pair. You will have to be very lucky to get NICE ones for under that on eBay or anywhere. As a matter of fact, two or three months ago, NICE LaScalas were bringing HIGHER prices a pair on eBay than NICE pairs of k-horns were....go figure!! ------------------ I can now receive private messages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeast Posted June 30, 2002 Author Share Posted June 30, 2002 This pair http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1361398825 sold recently for $800 and they look to be in good condition. Thats the only low priced pair I've seen. On audiogon people are asking over $1500 for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazman Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Beast, I've followed prices over the last year or so on ebay and I think you will be able to get a very nice pair of LaScala's for a low of $800 to $1,000 at the top end. Don't forget to add additional cost for shipping. BTW, the pair you cited were one of two pair I referenced to IndyKlipschFan in another post. Nice ones are listed, and if you are patient, you'll be rewarded. Klipsch out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Garrison Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 It also can't hurt to drop the seller an email and tell him that if anything happens and the deal falls through, you'd be interested. ------------------ Music is art Audio is engineering Ray's Music System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 I found a pair for $300 on Audio Review - one had a blown woofer but I found an exact replacemnt for $57. on ebay. Some dings needed woodfill and they had to be repainted black but they sound great! Had to travel a little to pick them up however. I was alerted to another pair for $375. also on Audio Review I think by a post on this site. They were professionally finished in a walnut veneer on all sides. Again had to travel to pick them up but they are beautiful! The usual price is between $750 to $1200. depending on condition. But there are bargains if you look around. I have two home theaters ... one using Heritage speakers and the other using the more modern Klipsch THX LCR system which I am now converting to Heritage speakers. I just love the sound of Paul's creations! ------------------ Soundog's HT Systems This message has been edited by soundog on 07-02-2002 at 05:26 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 soundog, Haven't seen you out here in a while. I hope things are going well for you. soundog's right here... the deals are out there, you just have to keep your eyes peeled and scour the internet for them. Your local paper is another source. Just be patient and they will find you... Mike ------------------ My Music Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
