GBSLPS Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I am new to forum as of Saturday. I have never owned Klipsch. I have heard them a number of times. I am interested in buying used La Scala's or Cornwalls. I live in the Lancaster area of Pa. Yea Mark I am the guy who called you about your La Scala in NY and I am still interested. I just thought I try to see if there are any closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 yup, that's how we do it here. I'd recommend Cornwalls for your first set if you can find them nearby. Better bass and a tad smaller footprint. I think the CW is pretty universally well thought of around here for about any type of music. LS is smoother in the mids and vocal ranges, but a little shy in the bass dept, depending music of course. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I'd recommend buying whichever one you personally preferred when listening. If it were me, I'd buy La Scalas. You shouldn't have much trouble locating a pair of either model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 yeah, or do what Parrot sez [] Didn't mean to color your first purchase with my preferences. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whamo Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Does "tuned for life" still have a pair of lascala's for sale? I know it's been awhile. Anyways he lives in Warsaw, N.Y. I purchased my cornwalls from him. I would reccommend him as well if he's still selling. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Come to think of it, you should start a new thread and include La Scalas and Cornwalls in your title so people will know what you're looking for without opening it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hififreq Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I've got a pair of cherry veneered La Scalas in Boston for sale. They're '77's with AA crossovers. I'd "like" to get $1000.00, but I'll deal. I've gotta make room for some new Belles! Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought I try to see if there are any closer. No problem, I do not blame you for looking for something closer ,if they are available. How you doing with selling your speakers. Mine are still available,like I told you when we spoke I am not really advertising them . Let me know if you still want them, when you are ready.

colterphoto1 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Lancaster to Utica is 5 hours per Mapquest. Totally do-able in a day. Add about 2 hours for loading and chatting with another Forum member. And the seller usually buys lunch. Just throwing that out there from my experiences. Getting them is half the fun!

He brought the cornwalls to my warehouse. I was going to go to his house and pick them that coming weekend but Doug was concerned about the weather. Turns out he was right, we had a huge ice storm that took the power out for three days. So I got the cornwalls and couldn't even use them that weekend. He only hung around for a few minutes. He gave me a good deal too. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Doug rates high on the 'cool' meter. Have you seen the photos of his cabin and the tower o Marantz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Is DC too far? Here's a pair of Lascalas for $650 with ALK crossovers (very desirable these ALK crossovers). http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/ele/211505862.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyhambone Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 here's a pair of lascalas in pa don't know seller. don't know my geography of pa either. maybe homeslice will let you see them and listen in person if they are close. good luck. http://cgi.ebay.com/Klipsch-La-Scala-LS-BLS-Floor-Standing-Speakers_W0QQitemZ180032795525QQihZ008QQcategoryZ61378QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item180032795525 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markgod Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hi Mark The guy told me he sent check you know " Check's in the mail." Yes I am still very interested. Glenn Glenn, That pair in Washington DC is a great price, the ALK crossovers [networks] go for $580 themselves. It is hard to believe that someone would put those ALKS into a crappy pair of lascalas. They would definitely be worth looking into. I am not a very good salesman ,am I. Mark G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBSLPS Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 Thanks funkyhambone, Is homeslice a forum member? Gettysburg is about 1hr and 15 min from me. I hate ebay that's why I did not look there. Bid is in however. Seller says they are 1989 models would I benefit from any of crossover upgrades or any other upgrades. I guess I am getting ahead of my self I don't own these yet. Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
