Kalifornian Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Hello everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster. I recently, about 6 months ago, acquired a set of La Scala's via CL at a very affordable price. They were road speakers (maybe) and covered in carpet. They sounded awesome but looked pretty rough (NOT wife approved for the living room). But the sound brings tears to my eyes (in a good way) with certain music. Sooooo I decided to modify the La Scala's (gasp). And one of the main reasons I modified it to a Khornish is because we just moved into a new house and the living room has large cubbies on either side of the TV that will act as a large corner for the doghouse. So I made a new front end on the backside of the La Scala so that the horns are now forward and the bassbin faces back into the cubbies. I painted the exteriors with Duratex and layed some rosewood veneer on the front. I also upgraded to Crites 120 tweeters and the new crossover to boot. I've included some of the pics. I should be done with them tomorrow morning and be able to test them out then. I have no skills (I'm good at demo) so this was a test for my meager skills and patience. Have to have the wife help me align the speakers for mounting and then we are all done! Any questions or ideas (or criticisms) are welcome. Enjoy the speaker porn I christen these the Mini-K's! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest David H Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Interesting concept. The veneer is very nice. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgbreese Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I also recently purchased a pair of la scalas. I don't believe there have been any upgrades although one is inoperative. They look pretty simple however I don't wish to jump in without knowing a little more. They are 1980 vintage. Anyone have testing procedures or know where I may acquire schematics to follow for testing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
