res_communes Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 Thank you for the posts. I'm somewhat leery of La Scalas from CL and would prefer buying from forum members. That said, I sold my Heresys in 2005 on CL. Once again, thank you for the responses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
res_communes Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 Any perspectives on the price range that would be considered reasonable for a set of La Scalas in good condition? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 They seem higher than Giraffe =^\\% Belles seem much more reasonably priced. Was a pair in San Antonio, recently... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There some guys in this forum who are really good at valuing speakers. I wrote prices down and put them in a spreadsheet. Feel free to download. FYI you are in a market in Texas that is typically higher than my spreadsheet average. If you add about 20% you will get a good ball park price in your area. In general LS's range from about $1000-1500. The average is $1208, Good Condition with Type AA crossovers, 1972-82. For a pristine pair they will be at the upper end of the price range.

res_communes Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Thanks for the 'welcome' billybob. Actually I've been a forum member since 2004 but sold my Heresy's soon thereafter as priorities changed with having a young family. At that time I dropped off the forum. Now that the kids are out of the house, I'm excited to get back into the pleasure I receive from listening to a great sound system and learning from the many sages in the Klipsch forums/community. And thanks jimjimbo for your perspective re price range 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The La Scala market has changed dramatically in the last 12-18 months, as I know other Heritage speaker prices have as well. 30-50% increase. Cosmetics are very, very important, both internally and externally, with the market being what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmetics are very, very important, both internally and externally, with the market being what it is. 100% correct. Prices from 18 months ago or more are what you wish you could buy by. I have not seen a set of LS sell for under $1500 for the last year here in Tennessee. IF there were some listed cheaper they went so fast I never saw them which tells you something. Still think $3000 is crazy high but by the end of this year that may be normal. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
res_communes Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Thanks to all for the input and guidance. I was able to find a great pair of all original, raw birch, La Scalas from the mid 80's. Picked them up today and excited to set them up. Thanks again, Dave A, Jimjimbo, Sancho Panza, billybob, wvu80, and DCaIrvine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpyderAudio Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) Now that res_communes has my pretty pair I suspect I will sell my beat up pair. I forgot how clean they sound without all the digital crossover magic. I'm listening to them now. Once they are gone I'm moving in a MCM setup. Don't tell the better half.
