Ash0628 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I am trying to sell my father in laws klipsch la scala b25 speakers he bought over 30 yrs ago. I dont want to RIP anyone off, but I was told these speakers can sell in the tens of thousands, but we were only asking 6 or less. I'd like to know the honest price for them, because I dont want to over price them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Your going to be a bit disappointed, but they will sell for more than he paid for them. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, tens of thousands...of pesos. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash0628 Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 This is Brandon Ashleys husband. All the info and research that I've done and when we purchased them is more than we are asking for them. The crossovers we replaced were $2,100 they have been rebuilt with all original parts. I dont want to rip anyone off that's not my intention at all. I will get some more pictures to post and go from there. I will appreciate anyone's respectful comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Welcome to the forum! You will not find more respectful people, or knowledge or honesty of all Klipsch speakers which are many. Some pictures of the crossovers when you get a chance along with your other ones. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that's about ten times what a typical crossover costs. Even so, with that vintage you're looking at $1,500-2,000 at the very top end. Just go on eBay and look at completed listings that have actually sold. The most expensive pair went for $2,000 and the least expensive pair went for $750. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted May 18, 2020 Moderators Share Posted May 18, 2020 I wonder what @wvu80 has tracked for that vintage, and how many? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tracked about 100 confirmed sales of LS's with Type AA crossovers. La Scala's in Good condition average $1205 and in Avg/poor condition $918. I used to own 1978 La Scala's which I purchased 5 years ago for $600. The upgraded Crites A/4500 crossovers cost $200. They sound really good but they are not the best in the Klipsch line, there are still two or three that are better IMO. Here is the spreadsheet (attached below) prices are based on. All Klipsch owners are welcome to download it , do their own research and draw their own conclusions on price.

But 40 year old cars don't sell for current retail, neither do 40 year old speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
