Limberpine Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 https://salem.craigslist.org/ele/d/salem-klipsch-studio-la-scala-speakers/7310912732.html Seems like a good deal. Also, what is the biggest difference performance wise between these and normal la scalas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff. Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I thought Industrials have the K-43 woofer. In addition to the cool styling! K-43 handles more power, gives a little more output in the mid-bass. Pro gear has fuses too. I have swapped out K-33 and K-43 in my LSIs and whole-heartedly prefer the K-43 on every level. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 these are not STUDIO LA SCALAS , these are Industrial Lascala splits rated at 200 watts with a k43 woofer instead of a K33 and a terminal cups with fuse holders for the HF and LF , the drivers from the HF come out from the front by unscrewing a panel----duratex style finish , they are missing both klipsch industrial badges -on the top hat and the bass bin - the cabs were birch , very stiff /heavy cab and slightly thicker than 3/4 inch and these do not resonate a much as the earlier plywood LSI 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. There is no such designation from Klipsch. @RandyH000 ^^^ was completely right, of course. The speaker is an LSI, La Scala Industrial. My Heritage Prices spreadsheet shows the average price for a La Scala of that vintage at $1208. The LSI version averages $1000 exactly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't go into great detail as this is a FS thread but the LSI is a hard beast to value. The biggest problem is many of those have been working man's speakers in harsh environments and as such they have been driven hard are in bad shape. Cab damage, blown drivers, smoke damage. You just never know from a picture. The other problem is the potential Buyers are a small group and are sought out by enthusiasts such as ourselves. The LSI is not a pretty speaker so those wanting a living room speaker may have a WAF problem. The LSI truly goes into the category that they are worth whatever a willing Buyer and a willing Seller can agree to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 This is an alerts thread but yes. Think I can agree. A new member here in South Florida has a pair and is keeping them he said yesterday. Another down there just got a pair of black ones but not sure if pro. They likely will be my next ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC39693 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 No wonder I can’t find CF-4s... I haven’t been looking in the bookshelf speaker section! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general your perception is right but remember these are confirmed prices so there is some validity to the average. The problem is I don't have many data points and the LSI's which are junked are averaged in with the ones which are in good condition, making a numerical value not very reliable.

I guess my wife is contrary... She likes my bumpy black LS. Yes, they are in the living room When I told her I bought some new speakers [RP600Ms for my man cave] she said "You're not getting rid of the big speakers. I like them". ya just never know 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limberpine Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Very good, but are they sonically BETTER in any way than the normal La Scalas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
