Coytee Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I work in Maryville two days a week. I could swing by and take a closer look if someone wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Hmmm.....now that I look at them.... I get ideas in the back of the head.... I already know that a LaScala will work and sound pretty darn good sitting on top of a MWM double bass bin. I have four MWM double bass bins with no tops...

Coytee Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Sent him a message asking if I could come by to see & hear them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 It's 99% doubtful unless the price stays about where it's currently sitting. I have nowwhere to put them What I REALLY needed to do was jump on Mike's K402 package however, I was too late to even consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Dang he's quick. I just got an email back from the seller with his phone number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 That's a lot of bass for MWMs....and I like the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaMike Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 That's within driving distance for me AND my brother-in-law lives in Cleveland (TN). Hmmmmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-js- Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) sooo... help a noob out a little please. for an auction on the bay like this, I guess if you're interested in a pair like this, it would probably be best to check them out before submitting a bid, yes? or as some have offered, send a trusted 'proxy' to check them over? and that now seems like mostly a no brainer, since it would be bad bay business to reneg after winning the auction if you didn't like them. thanks for the advice in advance.

wvu80 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Mr. -js- if you are interested, yes, the best idea would be to send someone over to see them who knows what he's looking at in terms of what drivers and crossovers are native to the model and year. We can get a general idea of condition from the finish, which would lead me to believe these have been driven hard and put to bed wet. If the basic drivers are all in good condition then the fixer-upper stuff would be cosmetic. But if they have non-working drivers or cheap non-matching replacement drivers you would have to get these cheap, like $400 or less to make it a worthwhile buy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Even at $500.00 shipped to me it would still be worth it (well to me anyways).. If I was looking for the next upgrade and Lascalas fit the bill, this would be it. Cut the tops off, fill any imperfections, paint them black, slap an EV HP640 on top and call it a day .

Coytee Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'm going to be in Maryville tomorrow. I'll try to call him & see if I can swing by to hear them. (by the way, locally, it's pronounced "Murvulle") If you say "Mary-Ville", you will be greeted with a "you are not from around here, are you???" (you will stick out like a sore thumb. Ask me how I know all of this... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Looking at those photos, and the amount of water damage, i wouldn't pay more than $100 for the pair.....if you do, you are in for a major disappointment.....sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaMike Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I WAS considering these and actually placed a low bid to follow but they are climbing. The effort to "restore" these will be quite an undertaking. AND... I would want these to be very presentable so.... I'm out! LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'd only be in it for the drivers and that's only if they went cheaper. But, I already have a new pair of K-33's so no love lost there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
