pcbiz Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 These La Scalas are beautiful! The seller's detailed description includes factory mods. Does anyone know if Klipsch will do these mods for any ol' body? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2785724748423377/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it would be nice to put new stuff in old La Scalas, which is an upcoming project for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Those look like Volti mods to me. That mid driver is killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pair definitely has the Volti crossovers. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/508413573683406/ I'm detecting a pattern; modded La Scala prices are much higher right now. I've heard it, but now I've seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 No, not Volti networks. Decided to take a closer look ... The network has a cedar board and it obviously started out as a Crites AA. The zeners are even still on the board. The caps look like the original Jupiter's from way back when. I still think that's a Volti horn (Greg Roberts). The driver is the coax version of the BMS 4592. So, this is someone's DIY, and could actually sound quite good, especially if they added the network mod that Bill Woods engineered for the tweeter section. Whoever did the work did a nice job. I don't get the five miles of wire though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyrc Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 "Recently sent back to Klipsch and updated!! New woofers,new horns and concentric tweets!!!" I wonder why this deception? If the mods are high quality (e.g., part Volti, etc., etc.), even if some more work needs to be done, they could bring a good price, honestly represented.

It's so he can play them outside. He can unscrew all horns & drivers, carry them outdoors whilest at the same time, leave the cabinet indoors so it's out of the rain. Sheesh.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO1 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 there is nothing stock in these speakers -----the mids -drivers-tweeters-horns-crossovers are aftermarket parts , who knows what kind of woofer is used or if it is stock , you're basically buying a set of cabinets in good condition - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
