Klipsch La Scala Dilemma

A friend of ours gave a pair of Klipsch La Scalas to a friend of hers some 15 years ago... And is now looking to get them back and transfer them to me. I currently use a pair of Tekton Lores and really like them, but would love to own the La Scalas.

Here's my dilemma: If I take delivery of the La Scalas, they're mine for good, regardless of whether I prefer them over the Lores or not. I can't go and sell them or put 'em out in the garage.

With that in mind, and you were in my shoes, would you just go for it and ultimately sell off the Lores, or stick with the Lores and just stand down on taking the La Scalas?

It sounds to me like, for whatever reason, you feel that accepting the free LaScalas would obligate you to use them in perpetuity. Basically, you'd be selling your freedom to use the speakers of your choice for about a grand, because that's about what fifteen year old LaScalas go for.

This is less clear from your post, but it sounds like your friend gave the speakers to someone else and now wants them back. So in her mind, they may not be your speakers even after she's given them to you.

I know you were probably hoping for a comparison of the LaScalas vs the Lores, but I'd decline the gift on general principles regardless of what speakers are involved.
