Dominguez Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 I may have the opportunity to purchase a pair of used Klipsch La Scala speakers from the school my son attends. They seem to be in very good condition. The cabinet is unpainted, and supposedly the speakers have been very well cared for. Since I will not be able to listen to them before I purchase , what should I check for? Also, what can you tell me about this speaker based on the following information my son copied from the horn and the cabinet: Horn Info: WK K55V 168218 Cabinet Info: TYPE LS-BR 22T158 Balancing Network Info: 8 and 7 Tweeter Input 6 and 5 Squawker Input 4 and 3 Woofer Input 2 and 1 Input Type-AA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edster00 Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 Hello Dominguez, Welcome to the BB! About all I can tell you about the LaScalas is that they are great speakers IMHO and that by the "T" in the serial # they are from 1979. Keep us posted on your acquisition! ------------------ Ed W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 '79 should be one of the best years. Check to see if the K-55-V has solder terminals. If it does they are the best of the early versions. Avoid the Type AL network. You can change the Type AL to a Klipsch Type AL-3, the latest rev. or to Al Klappenberg's crossovers. Al's crossovers are a just audible tad hotter on the tweeter section than the Type AA and noticably clearer. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
