Invidiosulus Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 They just moved further north! I met my dad(Marvel) down in Murphy NC yesterday and picked up his LS. The nonprofit agency I work for was donating some servers and desktops to his work so we had this totally unsuspicious equipment swap in the parking lot after lunch. It was great to hang out and catch up over lunch before heading back up the Nantahala gorge towards home. The LS are settling into their new home. last night we managed to get them hooked up and listened to some music on YouTube before heading to bed. This morning when I woke up the two younger boys were playing Minecraft and it sounded great. The 8 year-old wanted to be included for scale. “I could almost live inside these” I’m looking forward to really running these through their paces over the coming weeks. Already, I can tell they are a bit more effortless than my H1’s that they are displacing. A huge thanks to Marvel for passing these down to me and the kids. Cheers, Josh 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious_George Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Great pictures. It's nice to see children who actually want something that their parents had and are willing to "pass it down". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I bought the K33’s in these from JWC and the APT-150 tweeters from parts-express. We sort of bounce stuff back and forth over the years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely something I learned from @Marvel growing up and I’m absolutely delighted to share with the next generation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 The LS have some DHA2 crossovers which were, as I understand, originally designed by @JohnA for his brother Don. @Marvel built these a while back and they sound fantastic but I might have a go at cleaning up the layout a little bit and rewiring them as I’ve done with my Stratocaster’s this past year. John Albright had the first Klipsch home setup and the first set of LS that I heard back around 2001 or so. @Marvel had me tag along to hear Johns setup one Saturday. I brought along the Blue Man Group cd “Audio” and we listened to a couple of tracks, along with a bunch of other stuff, and I was blown away. Then John said he was going to turn on his subs... 20 years later and here we are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I remember what John wanted for the one pair of LS (He had two pair). Who made that mess? I kept thinking I would do them over... I found some solid copper nails, but never ordered them. A lot has happened since that day. BUT. that wasn't really the first time we heard La Scalas (or clones). We were in a church with DJK's brother, and had borrowed a set of clones Dennis had built. We used them for a conference for which I was running audio. They worked soooo well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was probably too busy trying to run around and split my head open to notice the LS at that age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry4841 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Marvel you are a lucky man to have a son you can pass those speakers to. My kids show no interest in mine so when the time comes they will probably be sold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did have some nice JBLs, courtesy of his brother. 😄 He got them while living in a dorm. I'll have to check and make sure he didn't slip up and get some Bose. I have some other plans for what I still have, perhaps he should get my HIIs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach’s L46 probably need the woofer surrounds redone like mine did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerwoodKhorns Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Multi generational La Scalas. Keep them in the family and congrats. Put some fuses on those tweeters, the eight year old will certainly try to blow them when he is about 13 or so. Right of passage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babadono Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 These LS have "improved" tweeters that can handle more power than the stock ones correct? Just curious because of tigerwoods concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
