gullahisland Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Necessity to purchase a new vehicle forces me to part with my newly acquired '76 Klipsch LaScalas. They have (of course) the AA crossovers and are in extra nice condition. The only notable flaw is a couple of small chips in the finish on the back portion of the top of one speaker. (maybe a half inch?...small) These are the cleanest LaScalas that I, personally, have seen. Unfortunately, I'm unable to take pictures, but trust me when I say that you won't be disappointed. I'm in a bit of a bind and looking for a QUICK local transaction (Northern California). I need the cash. First right of refusal goes to Neo as he had indicated some interest previously. I am asking for $1,050. Look at the ratty cockroaches that have been selling on Ebay for $1,025 and you'll know that this a VERY nice deal. I bought them from the original owner (his wife cried when I picked them up...no kidding) about a month-and-a-half ago. As I stated, I need to take care of another obligation PRONTO, so if my price seems unreasonable, shoot me a "reasonable" offer - I just might take it if you can make immediate payment. Check my history on this board and my considerable feedback on AudiogoN (same username) to know that you're dealing with a very honest and reputable seller. Thanks!! BTW - Anybody wanna' buy a Sunfire Cinema Grand for $900 DELIVERED?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAX616 Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Does the sunfire come with pre amp? Any other equipment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gullahisland Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 No preamp. The Sunfire is a 5-channel, 200 watt per channel amplifier. I bought it to bi-amp a pair of grossly inefficient monitors but have since sold the speakers. I've been using it lately to drive the Klipschorns and, while 200wpc is obviously WAY more power than they need, the quality of the sound is surprisingly good. It also has an interesting feature that allows you to connect the speakers to either a voltage source (traditional solid state sound) or a current source which reportedly approximates a "tube" amplifier. It's an interesting feature and works pretty well, but I prefer the more coherent sound of the voltage outputs. YMMV. The only other gear that I have is an Audible Illusions S-120 that I'd be willing to sell for $600 including shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubelover Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 What finish are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are Birch Raw. They have clearly been oiled (BLO - Tung Oil?) and have a VERY attractive natural wood finish. They're quite beautiful. They're just like the Birch Raw Heresys that I sold last year. I'll attach a photo of the Heresy for you to view as a comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gullahisland Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 Here's a picture of the Heresy that looks EXACTLY like the finish on my LaScalas. If one of you guys would be so kind as to remind me the "code" to post the picture directly HERE I'd sure appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipschfoot Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 type this in... <#img src="http://forums.klipsch.com/idealbb/files/heresy19smaller.JPG">Birch Heresy<#/img> Just remove the pound symbols. Or, of course, just cut and paste and remove the pound symbols. I made the image smaller for you. BTW, they are nice. She really cried, huh? I would like to have seen that.

Interestingly, he was a horn player (as am - was - I). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gullahisland Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 As the weekend progressed and there were no posts by you, I figured there must've been something going on. I'm not able to retrieve my home email from the office. For faster response, shoot me a PM. Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gullahisland Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 As you may have aleady seen, I have posted the LaScalas on AudiogoN. My offer, however, stands to sell them to a forum member first. You'll also notice that my asking price is $100 less here on the forum. Triceratops - What happened? Did you receive my email?? BTW - My "new" (used) car has a BOSE stereo ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
