PrestonTom Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Sold cheap ($511)! Oh well... someone will be very happy with that deal. You know, if you combine those speakers with a modest integrated amp (used & well chosen) and a modest CD player. Your could have a complete system, for less than $1000, that would easily blow away many systems costing 2 to 3 times that. Food for thought, -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cscmc1 Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 I liked them well enough, just like my Fostex full-rangers better. I tried the La Scalas with a 300b amp and, try as I might, I couldn't get used to the forwardness. My room is pretty small, too, so that didn't help.

Food for thought, -Tom Thats essentially what I did with two of the four La Scalas that Michael Colter bought from Thumpelstiltskin.[1] They were combined with an H/K 730 [2] and a Toshiba DVD/CD player. For about a grand the band director got a system that would blow away the $4K Bose system someone was trying to sell him.

cscmc1 Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 OK, folks, my eBay buyer is a total flake. Still no payment or pickup in 2+ weeks. LOOOOONG story. Anyone want them at the high bid amount ($511)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Sorry man, good price and nearby but I've got waaay too many project speakers here. Please someone help out and take these home! Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I know someone who may be very interested, but I can't get in touch with him at the moment. I'll send an email or post here as soon as I can find out if they would want them. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cscmc1 Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 Thanks, guys. I sent a 2nd chance offer to the 2nd bidder, so we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I will buy them at your price. I suppose you have to wait for the second chance guy. None the less, put my name in line. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 hope you get 'em Gil...felt guilty ever since you passed to me those K'Horns... Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Good man Gil, and they're right around the corner from you. But do you have room for the behemoths? Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I wouldn't exactly say that Charleston is right around the corner. The person I thought might want them says "no". He wants them, but finances aren't right at the moment. I hope you can get them Gil. I had forgotten that you didn't get the Khorns (or keep them, anyway).

cscmc1 Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 Hi Gil -- they're yours if you want them! 2nd chance bidder didn't get back to me in the specified 24 hours, so I am under no obligation to hold them for him any longer. Let me know; thanks! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
