captainbeefheart Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Wow those are gorgeous!! You are smart to do this before the move. We downsized to a ranch a recently and I just didn't want to let go of my La Scala's so we moved them up to the new house. I'm going to sell them now because in my new smaller listening room they just didn't have the magic they had in the larger room at the old house. I swapped them out for a pair of 1975 Heresy's and the smaller speaker works in conjunction with the room so much better. The imaging came back and I can get that allusive phantom auditory scene back again. I'm actually findng I'm not turning my subwoofer on at all anymore unless I'm really in the mood to shake the house which doesn't happen as frequently as it did in my younger days. I'm still working on room treatment, aiming for time delays of around 450mS so the room is neither "dead" nor overly "live". It's good enough for now as my toes tap and my mouth does this weird smile thing. GLWS!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 The magic answer to this shipping or driving question is UShip. They have picked up and delivered 4 items I sold with no trouble. Cheaper then I could drive to do it and that is not counting wear and tear and time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wstrickland1 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 @michaelwjones by chance do you have the outer dimensions of the 2 boxes handy? If not no problem, but BUMP either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are in a friend's basement and it would be tomorrow before I could get them. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 When I picked up my MWMs, I only had to drive about 12 miiles each way. A five minute drive from my house was a knife and sword store which also rented uhauls. Be let me have a 15 foot truck for the price of the next smaller one as he new folks at the college where I was going to pick up. That was good, as the fifteen footer had a ramp. Folks at the school helped load them and I was able to unload by myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original owner was told these were B stock 70th Ann. LSIIs. I'd believe it as they pretty well match my 70th Ann. Heresys and look nothing like a "regular" walnut Klipsch speaker. But since the LSII boxes state "walnut" I erred on the side of caution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get them shipped for an additional 500.00 or so, it's still a good deal. At least in my opinion it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
