seanwmil Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Think it's time to let em go. I always wanted a pair and now that I've had em a while it's time for someone else to enjoy them. Bought these from the Virginia Tech Theater dept. A little rough when I got em. Now, fully restored. Rebuilt midrange drivers (were blown when I got 'em) from Bob Crites. Also had Bob go thru crossovers too. All drivers and crossovers work as new. Cabinets were completely refurnished and repainted (truck bed liner coated). All aluminum trim refinished and clear coated. Large Rubber feet added to bass sections as well as pocket handles on each side. Small rubber feet added to HF section to prevent bass section from damage. These are in pristine condition and have not seen the road since I've owned them. Again, time to let someone else play with them for a while. Taking offers over $2500. Anything less and I'll keep em. Pickup only. I will not ship. I'm in central Illinois (springfield) PM me or email me for pics. You won't be disappointed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks for the photos. Nice job on the exterior restore. I know how tedious and time consuming it is to work on all of those trim pieces. GLWS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 they look just like a pair I own , I am not sure if you noticed but the speakers are very close to the floor and the aluminium trim will oxide as a result of being close to a humid floor - a clear coat will not stop any oxidation as the surface underneath is not coated - -for your info -most of these split Lascala pro speakers were not coated with a truck bedliner paint on the birch plywood veneered wood but rather fiberglassed at the factory for commercial applications - are the pocket handles KLIPSCH originals - small detail - otherwise - cool cabs - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanwmil Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 True about the fiberglass. These cabinets were in a pretty bad state when I got them. Re-fiberglassing was not an option. With the time I put in refinishing the aluminum a bedliner finish was the logical and most cost effective solution. EXTREMELY durable and looks fantastic. The aluminum was clear coated on both sides while off the cabinets. Plus with the addition of rubber feet vs metal, should keep the tarnishing to a minimum. Now that everyone has chimed in with their opinions....who wants to buy em? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 As most on this forum know, Iv purchased a few sets of these over the years, that being said, Calif pricing $1200 to 1500. Do not wish to rain on your parade, forum members have bought them from me at either the same price i paid or at a slight loss. GLWS, these would be good trading material. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanwmil Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 I like the sound of my LS's better on the low end. Love the sound of these when listened to with my Mackie SRS1500 powered subs. Don't know my neighbors think but I'm sure they've heard them! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the price of Klipsch are holding steady and maybe even going up though the most I ever paid for even k-horns in pristine shape was $1500 and have sold pristine La Scalas for $800. I wish you luck seanwmill on the $2500 though I don't think it will happen on this forum. If they are worth that much to you I would suggest hanging on to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanwmil Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Craigslist and Ebay here I come. Thanks for all the input but any less than $2500 and I'll keep em. Thought I would try this forum first but $1200-$1500 ain't gonna cut it. Thanks again everyone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
