Klipsch La Scala diagnostics/repairs


I bought a pair of Klipsch La Scala speakers brand new back in 1978 (yeah I'm an old guy now).  They've been wonderful, but in recent years they don't sound like their old selves.  It could be a factor that several years ago, during a corporate relocation, they spent a long hot summer in a non air conditioned storage down south.  Whether it's the crossovers or the speakers themselves, something ain't right.  Do any of you folks have recommendations for how I might go about getting these old friends checked out and brought back up to standard?  I now live in Wilmington, NC, and am expecting that I'll likely have to take them out of town to get them in the right hands.

Thanks for your help

you should be OK with lower resistance, open or very high is bad, IF you are not hearing a physical rub you should be good.
when you are in there do those gaskets !
Well your hero ( a true American Audio legend for sure ) was famous for saying “ what the world really needs is a great 8 wpc amplifier”....
so as you ( might ) cede the demands of youth for hyper quality of tone, consider a smallish tube amp now...
Also if you are running 40 year old Crown ( or any other gear ) it may also need recapping and a tuner upper !!!!
enjoy

Crites, Bob
look him up
has all the parts you need which are probably just the crossover caps and the midrange gaskets
he can rebuild your crossovers for you if you don’t sileeall the Klipsch factory connections are drop dead easy
i mixed sound for a rock band in University and we used a utility pair of La Scala for our PA
rockers for sure !!!
Bob can help you out he worked at Klipsch
