I hate to sell these, but I have too many speakers...

 

Details:  

  • NEW LOWER PRICE, WAS $2500!
  • Walnut La Scala II B-stock pair.
  • local pickup only near Columbia, SC
  • These are sequential serial numbers, but marked as b-stock
  • I think B-stock means there's a slight miss match between the top and bottom grain structure (there is no mismatch between color between pieces)
  • Some slight dings (see circles in pictures)
  • Finish colors vary somewhat in the picture due to LED lighting in my room, all four pieces (two tops and two bottoms) match perfectly.
  • These are hooked up so you can hear that they work.
  • No refunds cash only.
  • Not the original owner, but the speakers look and sound great!

I sold here before to sully141.  I've met duder1982, MichaelandKlipsch, Chris A and wstrickland1 in person.  I've bought from:  wstrickland1, Tullhead and rscotth.  Everyone I've met here has been great, so I thought I'd give you guys first dibs before craigslist.

 

7 reference speakers sold in two weeks!  No one seems to want these lovely speakers though?

Yes I bought them from a FL guy in late 2013 or early 2014, can't remember the exact date. He sold them because he was moving to Thailand to be with his wife. I know he loved the speakers...

How long have you had these? These look like the same pair I sold to a guy from the Tampa area. I wish I'd kept them.

These really are very sensitive speakers.  I had to use a balanced XLR padding circuit between my preamp and amp due to the sensitivity of these things.

 

I'll include the padding circuits I made if someone buys these.  They are XLR "H-pads."  I think they were -15dB, but can't remember.  They'll ensure a speaker level closer to 0 so that Audyssey will work better too.

 

When I had these I was using them with a Panasonic SA-XR700 in a apartment.  They are so sensitive that I could listen to TV with the volume set to 1 step above mute. I was just amazed at their sensitivity

I still have an emotional attachment to the 83's as they were the first real speaker I ever bought.  

 

How close are you to Columbia, SC?  I'd love to work out a package deal with you if you want to go 7.2 or 11.2 on your reference setup.  The 83's are one heck of a speaker made in Hope, Arkansas.  

 

I also have dual RT-12d's I'd sell.  These will be sold last, but if someone wants a reference package deal and has cash, I'm willing to do without subs for the time being.

 

I know the La Scalas are getting all the attention but I came in here for some 83 porn..

This guy might be your huckleberry for the 64:
