awsjr Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 I would sell these without the ALK Universals XO's for $1250 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awsjr Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 bump will be listing on Austin craigslist and Audio Asylum by the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brians7 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Those crossovers are easily worth $ 200.00 I really liked them in my LaScalas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LalaWoots Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I've owned La Scalas with the same drivers but I have never heard Belles, do they sound the same? Anyone care to chime in? Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 No, they don’t sound the same. Belles have a more recessed, laid-back sound than La Scalas in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 ^^^ Most don’t agree but having owned both I have to agree with Jim for once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalifornian Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I concur (having owned both) but its subtle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awsjr Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 the ALK Universal cost way more then $200 for parts alone... thats why, in my opinion, the price together is a bargain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Price looks good to me especially with the high performance XO. I know the cabs look rough but you would be surprised how some hand sanding can smooth that out. Then match the stain, add a poly protective finish and you've got some lookers that sound great. You would have to invest some time sanding and staining but it would really be worth your effort IMO. GLWYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Definitely a great deal for someone and those cane grills are quite sexy. These aren't the hardest speakers to re-veneer since there are grills on the bass bins; your veneer wouldn't go all the way inside. The top section comes apart and those pieces are pretty easy to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awsjr Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 agree with the above... these can be a fun project for someone... again for the buyer I can add Klipsch original cane grill cloth for the bass cabinets... they sound great with new wire and the ALK Universals..

finallygotmyheresies Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 This is really a good deal. Distance is my roadblock. Same with the pair Kalifornia had for sale, it's a 1,000 mile drive to either of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Just pick up some of the best brisket in the country along the way to keep you going and you'll be in heaven as you go and once you come back with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
