tromprof Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) I am selling my pair of 1977 La Scala speakers. They are marked LS-BR on the back and were finished by the original owner who did a decent job. The color is a little darker and richer than it appears in the photos. Overall the cabinets are in very good condition. They have been updated with Crites CT-125 tweeters and Crites A networks. The original owner said the grills were factory done and on the speakers when he purchased them new in Louisville, KY. The grills are attached like Corwalls of the era and are not detachable. They actually look like Cornwalls but are deeper. The speakers also come with custom glass tops. Price is $1,000 OBO. Pick-up only in Cincinnati area.

tromprof Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 wow... very nice. Grills not removable eh? Well, I guess you can remove them, but they ain't going to be easy to put back on. From the pics I have seen about removing Cornwall grills there will be about about a million staples holding them in place under the trim.

tromprof Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Got these also on my local Craigslist. https://post.craigslist.org/manage/4634880315 Got three calls, arranged for caller number one to come over for a listen, put off numbers 2 and 3. Of course caller one is a no show! Come on guys, one of you buy them. I hate dealing with Craigslist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I really like that look. They should have put that grill on all of them if you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is very tolerant but I don't think she would have allowed a regular pair of La Scala in the living room. Also keeps the cats out.

Shodrewken Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Why can't deals like this ever be in California? Anyway, GLWS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 That grill style must be really rare. This is the first time I have seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tromprof Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 I have run across one photo of another pair with grills like this. Not unique but certainly rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Morbius Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Also never saw them with grills like that. Pretty neat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tromprof Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 I had a very nice older gentleman who came by this morning to listen to them. He has a fair amount of nice equipment but had heard a pair of La Scala 40 years ago and wanted to see if they sounded as good as he remembered. He was very impressed, so impressed in fact he said they would be wasted on him since his hearing wasn't doing so well. He told me to try to sell them to someone younger who would appreciate them more. Told me if they didn't sell in a couple of weeks he would take them. I did take him down to the basement to hear the Quarter Pie theater. He was totally blown away. I played a Berlin Philharmonic video for him first, and switched to Revenge of the Sith. He hadn't seen any of the new Star Wars but said he was going to get a copy on his way home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
