willum24 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Hello all, I'm looking to purchase my first pair of LA Scala's. I would like to buy a black pair. I have to have at least the grills that cover the upper and mid horns. I am looking to buy them in good condition, not a project. If anyone happens to have a very dark stain, that might also work. I really just can't make a walnut pair work. Otherwise, I think I could work with a bare plywood pair, and possibly stain them down the road. I'm a big fan of keeping speakers stock from the factory, because I think they're fantastic just the way Klipsch makes them. I sold my only pair of speakers I had left, so I am hoping to find a pair sooner than later. I am looking to spend anywhere from $1000 up to maybe $1500. There is a pair in Texas that is in fantastic shape asking $1500, so I'm hoping this is a fair amount if someone happens to be looking to sell theirs to try something new. I would like to buy a local pair, not looking for a big road trip or to be shipping these tanks. Thanks for reading! Will O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opusk2k9 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Your price range looks right. I have typically needed to drive a bit for mine though. I will keep an eye open for a pair for you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechanized Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I have a pair in Madison that I will likely sell next Spring, but I think I am going to hold on to them until then. I search for them pretty often to keep an idea of what they are worth. Here ya go...

willum24 Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 I did see those. Looking for the more refined, nonindustrial look, as the wife will immediately nix them if they do anything to tarnish her living space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) if you want good looking loudspeakers they you ought to be looking for a set of Belle not Lscala. Edited June 5, 2015 by moray james 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 If you want good looking loudspeakers, you should not be looking at black Belle's...JMHO Nicely done La Scala's, perhaps with a grill top, nice veneer, are sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willum24 Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 I like them both. Something about the style of the LA Scala has caught my eye. And I love horns, so I know they will catch my ears as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
