wvu80 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'm with you Jim, I love that style with the aluminum trim. They would have to go in a mancave or rec room, as they would never pass the WAF in the living room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32blownhemi Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) These are close to my house & I've been wanting to get La Scala's but what does "WAF" mean? That has to do with looks, right? Is there anything I need to check for when I go look at them? Thank You! Bill Edited March 7, 2017 by 32blownhemi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, the main thing to look at (to decide if you want to buy them or not) is the condition of the cabinets. If they are trashed.... I have no interest. I don't mind as much if they have a blown woofer as that can be easily fixed and, that is part of the price conversation, once I know I want the cabinets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 The speakers in the CL ad certainly don't looked trashed, and in the description, the owner says "restored". Of course, 'restored" means different things to different people. Ask them if any components have been replaced, any crossover work. Look at all sides of each cabinet, especially the bottoms for any signs of water damage. Make sure all of the drivers are working. Take a cotton sock, stuff it in each tweeter while they are playing, and you should hear a definite difference when you place it in the horn. If possible play them fairly loud to check for any evidence of distortion. Good luck, I hope you get them. I love mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincymat Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Is that a Ferrari on the right of the first photo? Sure looks like their logo in the center of the wheel. Speaker looks good too, btw. Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieStl Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I have a pair just like those and am very pleased with them. Paid a little less but those are in LA and most things cost a little more out there. Plus the humor in the add is worth at least a couple extra bucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32blownhemi Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Thank You Coytee, jimjimbo, cincymat & MookieStl. I'll call them tomorrow & ask those questions. I'll report back here on what they meant by 'restored' & any 'work done'. As everyone probably figured I have no idea what I'm doing... Thanks again!

twistedcrankcammer Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Nice score on the speakers! Now lets talk about getting a FORD 427 SOHC in that Ford you have there shall we?? Roger 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The algorithm is there is a direct negative correlation between the size of the speaker and the approval of the wife to tolerate said speaker in the living room. There are exceptions, depending on the woman who chooses you. Your mileage may vary. +++ Glad you got 'em. A lot of people like the sound more than the home version, I think they have a little more "punch." I like the aluminum trim personally, I like the industrial look. NO WAY would my wife ever allow them in the living room! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32blownhemi Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Thank You Twistedcrankcammer & Wvu80, Yeah, a Ford body & rear end. Chevy trans & a Chrysler motor... Ah ha, your profile pic is a Ford SOHC motor! Nice! I'd throw my Hemi away in a heart beat for one! Bill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
