newoverkill Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Hi folks, I finally received my La Scala (MK I) and have a question concerning the diplexer (I hope this is the right word for it): two of the components on the diplexer seem to be a little twisted and I don't know if this is a point I should reclaim or not (see pictures below). I would be very happy if you could give me an advice. The sound is brilliant but could this affect the life expectancy of the displexer or the components?

Duke Spinner Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Aaaaaahhhhhh .... bad luck, Eh ..?? you'll need to send the Entire speaker back to Klipsch... ....for a DiLithium overhaul , Scotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 What's the problem? I hope it's not those two wires crossing each other- not an issue at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Too funny Duke, you're a nut. I'm pretty sure he's talking about the two resistors, where the leads are bent -- like they got pushed over a bit. No big deal, just gently push them back the other way and straighten them out. "Diplexer" is filter jargon for two filters in parallel.

Guest " " Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 the bent power resistor leads......leave it as is....don't bother bending them straight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newoverkill Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 Indeed - my concerns are about the bend over power resistor leads. As you can see they are bent over on the side shown on the photo, on the opposite side they are buckled. I hope you understand what I mean - my English isn't too good in technical issues. Thanks for the help (except the first comment) Greetings from Germany, Bernd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 "Indeed - my concerns are about the bend over power resistor leads." Don't worry about it. I have 5 such boards in use and the componets came from the factory are bent in different directions . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newoverkill Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 @speakerfritz: this is really a relief to me. I already have some troubles with my Scala - the finish has some faults [] And did you notice that the 'legs' of that resistor on the other side are bended to the shape of an 'U'? I tried to mark that in the pic below. Kind regards, Bernd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Don't mess with the leads. You can bend them about twice before you risk having them break on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 djk is right on.....don't bend them...they may break off....not worth it....nothing will be gained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newoverkill Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Okay, thanks - I won't touch them. I thought that was unsual and that might be a point for a reclamation. Anyway I didn't pay too much for the Scalas - 3000.- Euros (about 4000.- USD) because they were remaining stock of the 'old' La Scala. But if I had paid the regular price of 7500.- Euros (about 10000 USD !) I would have been even more concerned. To be honest I knew that the Scalas wouldn't show prime classe quality when I saw a pair at my hifi dealer for the first time... But I knew that for 3000.- Euros the sound would be unbeatable...

Deang Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 You can bend them about twice before you risk having them break on you. See, you can bend then once or twice. O.K., I didn't realize the things were that fragile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear you're liking the sound of your Scalas. Do many people in your city have them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newoverkill Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 Well, I just know one guy who also has Klipsch Speakers. In Germany people tend to buy speakers that fit into their living rooms, meaning small, slim and designed speakers. So in fact I'm the only one I know who has these speakers. I've been looking for great speakers for about two years and checked different pairs by Thiel, B&W, Revel, Audio Note, Avalon, etc. Then one day I found an advertisement, offering the Scalas for 3000.- Euros - I listened to them and bought them :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations on your new acquisition!! []<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
