tom b. 57 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I have a pair of Cornwalls that incorporate K-43's. It has been suggested to me to think about changing to K-33's. Is this something that a professional should do or is it easy enough for someone with pretty limited knowledge and skills to do. Are the K-33's very expensive? Are they ready available? How much lower do the K-33's go. Is it worth the expense and the effort? tom b. 57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Those cornwalls did not come with k-43's. What condition are those k-43's in? If you elect to do the replacement, I may be intrested in the K-43's. You can swap them out. Just be careful with the screw driver not to slip off the screws and poke a cone. Best to lie the cabs down. K-33's are not expensive. You can sell your k-43's to recoupe some of the cost. K-33's can be bought new from Bob Crites. You can get used ones on e-bay. Aside from going lower, the k-33 has more balanced lower end. The k-43 is really a good match for LaScala's. It is worth doing in your case, cornwalls, and if you have k-horns.

tom b. 57 Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 the K-43's seem to be in perfect condition. I will check the price of the 33's and then check finances and get back to you in a day or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 How do they SOUND? They might not need swapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 The K43 sounds fine in the Cornwall. It's a bit different sound, a little on the lean side, but all low Qts drivers have this kind of sound. The bass will sound more like an Altec 416 or JBL 2205 does. If I had a pair of K33 I'd trade you in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom b. 57 Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 the speakers sound fantastic, but you guys have got me curious. I f there is a definite noticable difference in the low end then I certainly am interested in swapping out. I just have to justify spending more money on them. Unfortunately I have limitations on finances. Bummer,huh? tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 It can wait, in the meantime try to organize a swap with someone here or locally. Maybe someone wants to make their LaScalas into Industrials for band or DJ use. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I have some non-industrials that I want to upgrade to industrials, inclusive on installing the handles and back plate. So sure, a deal is possible on my end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 The vented LaScala mod sounds better with a K43 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
