wvu80 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) There really won't be any "profit" if you factor in the cost of your labor, so you are basically going to break even on these, if that. to keep them in the family, "breaking even" is a win-win outcome I finally figured out what you meant by "keep them in the family" and Mookie's goofy looking ninja emoticon that I couldn't figure out. My browser skipped over your giant SOLD post so I didn't see it until this morning. Congrats to you and Mookie on the re-birth of your newly adopted child. So does Mookie have to start his own thread on how he will complete the finish on the LS's, or does he get custody of this thread?

Ceptorman Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I say just continue this thread! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieStl Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Thread custody comes with the speakers! Updates wont come as fast and furious as when Matt had them, but I will update. I've never started a thread so don't want to break my streak. I only used my very first emoji, yesterday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Don't burn the crossovers....There still workable for someone. Rick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieStl Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I guess I have to get better at using emoji's. I was kidding about burning them, just don't see much use for them. Free crossover to forum members plus shipping. Act now, get the second one free too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be cool to see how the journey turns out. PM sent on the XO's. Edited October 19, 2015 by wvu80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I will take them if no one needs them. Let me know how much you need for shipping. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaudeJ1 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Yup, working on getting some pricing for servicing the crossovers and horn drivers now. Will most likely just do the very best I can with the cabinets. Parts of them are so far gone though, new fabs may be my best alternative. The biggest problem with building new cabinets is my table saw is really crappy. For small projects it is great. The bigger stuff becomes more difficult. Going to have to be creative and improvise. Cut the tops off and build Quarter Pies. You can use K33 woofers in them and get REAL horn bass instead of a resonating sealed box below 100hz. cutoff of a LaScala.

I would have gone for the Kappa also but Matt had already bought the K-33! I still may go down that road as I am sure I will be tweaking many (many) times over the next several years.

Matthews Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Mookie, I made an agreement with you. If nothing else, I am a man who stands by his word. These speakers will be perfect for your shop. Look forward to seeing their transformation! Was just prodding a bit, in fun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieStl Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I was freeing up your cash so you can get back your original Scalas. What did you end up doing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthews Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Unfortunately, the seller is really on the fence. I shot him another, higher offer. He is yet to get back with me on 2nd offer. I am beginning to think he listed them to help make the significant other, happy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieStl Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 he mentioned "or trade", did you offer one of your subs plus a little cash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthews Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Yes, one "like new" R-115 + $700 cash. Was hoping he may have a little sympathy being I am the one who sold them to him at a drastically reduced price? edit: if he does not take my offer, I am out. That is the best I can do...

wvu80 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 edit: if he does not take my offer, I am out. That is the best I can do... I feel for you, my friend. State your price and be done with it. I try not to fall in love with my "stuff." It seems like it always costs me more money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spezjag Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 . I try not to fall in love with my "stuff." It seems like it always costs me more money. If you think falling in love with your stuff can get expensive, try falling in love with a woman . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
