Olorin Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Audio yard sale -- everything is located in central California, midway between Fresno and Bakersfield. These items are local pickup only, and I can drive a reasonable distance to meet halfway:-- 1978 Klipsch La Scala speakers. These left the factory as raw birch but at some point in their lives they got a light stain, honey oak maybe? It has the original complement of drivers, but the crossovers are rebuilt Type As, done by Dave at Fastlane Audio (the wooden tractrix horn guy.) Type AAs are the correct crossovers for this year, and I have the parts to make AAs out of them, just haven't gotten around to it. These will be included with the speakers. Good condition with normal wear for their age. --- SOLD --- -- 1984 Klipsch La Scala Speakers, birch lacquer. These are all original with the half-grills covering the mid and tweeter horns. Good condition with normal wear for their age. $1,275-- Klipsch Chorus II, black. These suffered from damage caused by bad packaging. I could get a lot more by gutting them and selling off the parts -- perfect passives like these have, for example, might as well be made of gold -- but they sound so nice I just don't have the heart to break them up. $600-- Klipsch Quartet, black. The smallest member of the Chorus II/Forte II/Quartet family, these make great surrounds for the Chorus, and they are fine full range towers for bedroom use as well. $425, specs here.-- Klipsch Academy, black. The matching center for the Chorus II/Forte II/Quartet line. $375The Chorus, Quartets, and Academy can be taken as a set for $1,300.-- A Lil'Wrecker. This is one of Stumbo's from his build, documented here. Yes, this is the one that had the catectomy. It's not the prettiest thing, but nobody gets a Lil'Wrecker because they want pretty. This is not the homecoming queen, this is the girl who went out for the football team and kicked a lot of ***. $350.This next list of items can be shipped (cost will be UPS actual from 93292) or picked up:-- A Behringer Feedback Destroyer DSP1124P. I bought this used several years ago with the best of intentions, and it's never left the closet. I'm actually not sure it's ever left the box since I've owned it. Anyway, $60 and it's yours.-- Two Klipsch K-400 midrange horns -- the type used in the Klipschorn and La Scala. These are the original metal type, not the composite K-401. Lenses only, no drivers. $150 each, $275 for the pair.-- Eminence APT-50 horn tweeters (pair) -- $40.-- Harman/Kardon PA2100 amplifier (2) -- $125 each.-- Harman/Kardon HK430 receiver -- the old one, not the AVR. This unit is a fixer-upper; the faceplate is damaged (again, shipping) and it has the scratchy/staticky thing going on that these get when they need some caps replaced. $50I think that's everything, but if the storage room or closet disgorges anything else, I'll add it to the post. Thanks for looking. Edited November 30, 2015 by Olorin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feezelbum Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Oh, we're here... I've been watching this thread as I feverishly collect every penny I find. La Scala's are definitely in my future. GLWS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Does the 430 work besides the noise ? Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khorn4 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Ugg! I have been wanting a pair of La Scalas with grills. Watching for a pair to come up here in Central Valley and now your nice set. Unfortunately I had an unexpected large truck repair. Sucks to be me! Chee-wawa! I would have taken a pair off your hands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olorin Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Born in Visalia so another Cali boy here even though now I'm regarded as a hillbilly from Aransas lol. Impressive collection GLWS! Talk about your small world -- Visalia here as well. Oh, we're here... I've been watching this thread as I feverishly collect every penny I find. La Scala's are definitely in my future. GLWS! Keep saving -- they'll probably still be here. ;-) Does the 430 work besides the noise ? Rick Yes, it does. It makes a scratching noise when powering up and when changing volume, but while it's running and stable, it sounds just fine. It can be managed with the speaker defeat switches if one is so inclined. Ugg! I have been wanting a pair of La Scalas with grills. Watching for a pair to come up here in Central Valley and now your nice set. Unfortunately I had an unexpected large truck repair. Sucks to be me! Chee-wawa! I would have taken a pair off your hands! Understand completely. As above, though, keep in touch -- they may hang out for a while. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
