maxg Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Well I am off to hear a pair of LaScala speakers tonight. All being well by later on this evening they will be mine. Of course relative to the prices in the US this is probably horrendous at about $2200 but here in Greece it is a steal - especially as I will sell my Heresy's for around $1500. If everyone could cross their fingers / pray to their gods / make a small sacrifice on their altars W.H.Y. Not that this is important to me or anything. Of course how I am going to explain this to my wife is another matter... ------------------ My System: http://aca.gr/pop_maxg.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazman Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Max, I've always liked the grill cloth covering the upper horns on LaScalas. They will probably sound bright in that room with the ceramic tile floor, but they will sound bloody marvelous. Good luck with the purchase and the explanation to your wife. She already knows you have Klipsch disease so I'm sure she'll show some mercy. Klipsch out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobile homeless Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Lord, I literally cant imagine those LaScala run in that room with a bare tile floor! No wonder the guy is selling them... 2200? I would bring a damn 8x10 carpet for that amount. kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 The more I look at them the less ugly them seem. I never really cared for the looks of them -- but they are starting to grow on me. It will be interesting to see what your impressions are. Especially after my earbleeding experience with them last weekend.f>------------------ Deanf>s> Klipsch RF7s - AE-25 DJH - AE-3 DJH - Sony 9000ES f>s> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaloumbakas Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 MaxG, What speakers is the seller looking for... Is he living in Athens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxg Posted July 10, 2002 Author Share Posted July 10, 2002 Not just in Athens - he lives in Glyfada!! - not more than 10 minutes from my house. Thank god I have the Land Rover - they should fit in there. Dont know what he is planning to buy - I will find out tonight - hopefully Tony is coming with me. I had arranged to go to Tassus House tonight to get some listening done on his system - ah well - will have to be another night I suppose. I suppose you want me to ask this guy to join the ACA.... ------------------ My System: http://aca.gr/pop_maxg.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEd Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Congratulations, maxg on your anticipated move on up to a fully horn-loaded experience. Shades of your marble quarry query... now all you need to do is take apart a LaScala and use it as a template to build a pair out of Greek marble... then you will have something that deang can better appreciate visually. -HornED PS: Hmmm, now that you are going this far... I wonder how long it will be before you make that Land Rover fully horn-loaded to classically blast a path through Athenian traffic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaloumbakas Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Max, Have you noticed I made a hair transplant on your head. Look last Sunday's meeting at http://aca.gr/meet02-4.htm . Your wife is going to love you again even after moving these LaScalas in your living room... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
