JBCODD Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Welcome to the forum. Closest set I found on Craigslist is in Dallas. Priced rather high for the condition https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/ele/d/dallas-klipsch-speakers/7231170314.html None closer on E Bay, and all over $3000. I advise patience. I got a set of refinished birch regular for $1200 three years ago, and have seen others for reasonable prices. They come up for sale occasionally here in the southwest, but be prepared to drive to get them. I've seen them here in the Phoenix metro area, but also in Tucson and Albuquerque. (And all points in between) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamahaSHO Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 There is a set here in CO that you might ask about. They are priced a bit high though. https://pueblo.craigslist.org/ele/d/trinidad-klipsch-lascala-ii/7223887172.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would ask for more pictures and full background before considering an offer. In the single pic they appear clean, but for that price he must be looking for a seriously motivated buyer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TasDom Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 These are in Modesto, CA. Not splits but industrials... https://modesto.craigslist.org/ele/d/turlock-klipsch-la-scala/7220194085.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to be in my great/family room so a dark wood cabinet is preferable. How common are the splits with the tapered top cabinet?

yamahaSHO Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 These just posted yesterday. Looks like a fantastic buy from what I can see. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1009454926216459/ I can probably help with securing them if needed... Just reimburse be for fuel as I live in Denver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that more people are finding out about the quality Klipsch heritage speakers provide at a fairly affordable price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked for quite awhile for my first set of La Scala’s and then foolishly sold them. I did find another set and jumped on them right away. Don’t get discouraged. You will find some. Just be ready when you do. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
