Innocent_George Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hello everyone! I just recently purchased a pair of LaScalas and my fiance is hoping to have grills put on them. She said yes to the speakers and to having them in the living room so I guess I can figure out a way to do this. I reached out earlier to Matt about bass bin grills and he is getting back to me on directions for that, but I have not seen anything on the top grill. Is there a place for me to purchase them still? Im pretty sure Klipsch won't have them anymore! Any help is much appreciated! Thanks, Graham 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 These are Mathews on forum he sold them . He did the grills though. Tops done with Bas Shoe molding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron167 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I haven't seen many, but another option is to do full grills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Or veneer the front motor board and but magnets in the trim and metal tabs under the veneer like I did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocent_George Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hey Rick! Yes that is most likely what I am going to end up doing. I guess my questions then becomes how would I make the actual grill, is there somewhere or someone that would make a set for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longdrive03 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 If you want to go to the effort the neo magnet system works great. You would either have to drill through the mid/tw motorboard to recess the magnet (which would show unless you veneer over it or you could drill in from the back making sure you don't punch through and epoxy in the magnets from behind ( I know this is hard having don't it!) If you use magnets I would suggest the 3/8" magnets sold by Madisound for 65 cents each. They are very strong. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Personally, I don't like the full grill, as it hides one of the unique features of the LS. The most common way is like those Matthew made, which is the style of the Belle. Bruce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MookieStl Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I can cut the parts for you (I have the cut files), but the grill cloth is the hard part (in my opinion) and you're on your own there. Matt can give you pointers on that front if you hear from him. He is probably working on his hot rod. They sure do turn out Purdy like cincymat's! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innocent_George Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 Will do. Excited to see how they turn out. Won't know till end of March! Which is when we are expecting things to be finished. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I used 3/4 x 3/4 cherry to cover the edge plys all around the front, then stained them with red mahogany. The Grilles are from Klipsch. Call and see if they will not still make a set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocent_George Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Sadly they no longer make them. Tried contacting them the other day. Waiting on the speakers now to be delivered and will go from there! Looking to finish them in rosewood with adding a top grill and Matts LaBelle grills on the bottom. Now all it is is a waiting game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
