WTB: La Scala's/CW/Belle in the Missouri area - anyone?

Hi all 🙂 

Need to find a pair of La Scala's to restore for personal use. 
Found a couple of leads on FB Market but nothing promising. 
What happened to the market while I was away? 🥴
edit:  pair of Cornwall or Belle would also fit the bill.
Thanks,
Matt

Good question.  I would have expected that there would be more for sale due to Covid, but that has not been the case.  Availability has gone down, prices have gone up.

re eddit: NO and yes

LS or Belle is what you want. You've been down that road before. You want fully horn loaded and you know it!

Only CW that you would like long term is possibly the CW IV but then you would have to sell your Hot Rod. (dont see that happening)

Have fun getting back into this hobby. 

Prices have gone up since you left. sorry

Define "too many"

I have two pair of LS also!

You need to use your skills to resurrect an abused pair.

Mike,

 

Is that a photo of your Belles?  If so, do you use that Exodus Anarchy TH sub with the Belles?  If so, it it just the one?  How does that work?

Neil,

Yup, thats my Belles. Moved one set into the basement after that photo opp and some intense listening!

Yes, that is an Anarchy TH sub, Lil' Mike to be exact. I use two of them with my Belles. I laid the subs on their side and used them as a base (pun intended) for them. They work very well together. In a larger room, I would assume the two subs wouldn't keep up with the mains but in my living room (14 x 20) they do great!

what's happening , is that a lot pf people have , bought and restored Lascala's over the years and they keep them once they are restored and upgraded , so the available quantities have dwindled . but on the other hand , Belles and khorns are showing up in bigger numbers ----

$1500 for beaters, not gonna happen.  Will do without LOL.  Not gonna spend over a grand on a pair that need restoration.  Just have to be happy with what I gotz, RF-7's   ...they are certainly not slouches and I do enjoy them immensely ⬇️⬇️⬇️

You've been busy! New Hot Rod and looks like quite a bit of work on your house (unless you moved) Looks like you tore out your loft area to vault your living room. Looks very nice.

Now get those 7's out of there and get going on another soon to be beautiful La Scalas.
