Normally the center front of the horn is pointed, not flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbox Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Yeah I agree, likely aftermarket with a Klipsch badge on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be careful First, price at $3200 is "not great." Second, terminal connectors say "La Scala." ???? Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiceSystem Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 If you look at the photos, the tops are La Scala those are real You can see the cables are plugged into the top section. the bottoms are FULL AFTER MARKET !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pzannucci Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Just read the name on the woofer, Fostex. I will admit though, they are nice and if done right, probably sound quite good. Not Klipsch though unless a custom job for a client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk What are you referring to? What copy? From the ad they seem custom. Quoted: Top cabinets are correct to the pro series but the lower ones are built to a much larger cabinet and are using a fostex driver. All drivers have been checked over and simply sounds amazing. Extremely efficient to run at about 104db at 1 watt ..... meaning you don’t have to waste your money on a huge amp to run them on. People like to run tube amps on them for that reason. Other quote: It is believed that this was from a custom order for a theatre chain back in the day. But I would love to check them out, though not for $3200.

And also this --> Top cabinets are correct to the pro series but the lower ones are built to a much larger cabinet and are using a fostex driver. Was I looking in the wrong place? That is why I added a brochure of the closest configuration that I can find that was Klipsch. Too bad someone from Klipsch doesn't chime in.
