mowntnbkr Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Hey guys, Check this out, how did I do? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSAA:US:31&Item=5808677215 I was just getting ready to drop $600 on some chorus II's, but just stumbled across these on ebay this morning. Please tell me I got a good deal or SWMBO will not be happy. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedball Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Oh my Gosh! La Scalas...........I like them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 If you can drive to get them and pay about 400 more for LS over Chorus I think you did very well. The look great too boot. So many LSs seem to get beat up for some reason. Not all like the looks of the LS. I for one love it. I think it is a loudspeaker that looks like a Loud Speaker even when nothing is coming out of it. Hard to walk into a room with LaScalas and not say "WOW". EDIT: I see you are in Alaska...probably not driving to get them. A great deal none the less...guessing you would have needed the Cs shipped too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I would be happy ! Congradulations , you just went from Hereseys to La Scalas in what , 30 days . Hmm. K-Horns for Christmas ? [Y][Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodog Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Yes, you scored. Those are beautiful! Woo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haccord03 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Nice dude, definitely a score! Reminds me of my score of getting my fortes for $300. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowntnbkr Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 I was warned that it was a slippery slope! This now completes my HT/ music setup. I am sending the crossovers for my model 14's to seattle to get a facelift, so now my ? is how to setup. I was thinking LS for the front (obviously) and then can I use the heresy's for the center and then the 14's for the rear? or should I go to a 7.1 and keep the rc-3II in the center. and have either the 14's or h II's and srb/sbl?

sunburnwilly Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 2 Hereseys inbetween the La Scalas will work very well . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjgeraci Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Nice score, Sam. I also agree that you should use the Heresy(s) for the center. Concentrate on getting the 5.1 right first. I've done 7.1. Its nice, but I would rather have a better matched 5.1 initially then sacrificing some in the front, just to achieve a 7.1. And a Heresy or two would make a much better match to LaScalas versus a RC3. Again, great score. Carl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott0527 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Nice score. Tested by good old Vanessa Horton too. She was one of the best Nothing slipped by that women although I heard she was a bit of a flirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowntnbkr Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 I didn't even consider who inspected them, was she indeed good? So, how do I wire up two heresy's for my center or do I just use one? I was also wondering, do I adjust the levels on my amp down for the Lascala's and up for the heresy and model 14's seeing as they are not as efficient? We also ordered a new 51 hitachi rptv, so our home theater should be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjgeraci Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Since you are running everything off of a receiver and not using external amps, I would start with one Heresy up front for now. You can always use the other Heresy as the rear center speaker in a 6.1 setup if you have room - just hook it up to one of your rear surround feeds. Yes, you will need to dial down the LaScalas (or dial up the others due to the respective efficiencies). Pick up an analog Radio Shack meter to help set your levels. About 40 bucks or so. Carl.

mowntnbkr Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 I forgot to mention I am got a parasound HCA -855A to power everything, so my HK avr430 isn't working hard at all, just wish I could combine the power from that and the parasound...oh well. Hey I just got the total bill, only $250 to crate and ship to the barge in Seattle and then $30 for the barge fee, so a total of 280. You guys may cringe but I still got them for a total of 1350. The seller ships grand piano's all over the world, they use a professional packing company and he assured me they would be vritually bulletproof. I have had wonderful sevice from our barge company so I am not worried. Heck, with the system I am building I can start charging admission for movies up here. I should get these about the same time I get my model 14 crossovers back, man I should be rockin and a rollin!!

TheEAR Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Congrats,all I can say is WOW.Perfect 10 find and great buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I don't cringe at your shipping costs at all . I spent just under $500.00 to have my Belles shipped from Tacoma Wa. to Charleston SC , nearly 3000 miles . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartwen Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Incredible! A really lovely pair of loudspeakers. In the UK any Klipsch cabinet is rare. When you are finished would you sell them to me? Only joking. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
