Klipsch La Scala --two types?

Thanks guys:)
Jax2, is it likely the mid 80's La Scalas do not have the K55M and the K77? Is this something that was added to the newer models?

Thanks Elevick about the Onkyo, I will look into a nice tube amp:)

Thanks again Jax2,, i appreciate the information and your advice..I am actually going to be receiving a pair of the La Scalas before the end of the week.. They are black with side handles and have some scrathces, but suppose to be a one owner and in good shape otherwise. He is actually delivering them to me from over 400 miles:)..I only pay him when they get here, so he must be true to his word.

Can you recommend where I could purchase the replacemet parts you mentioned? do you know of a decent tube amp i should try? something not too pricey though:)Thanks again
Mike

take care

Thanks Lonestarblues for the helpful info:)

I received my La Scalas yesterday, hooked them up played with the positioning a bit, then listened to them for over two hours. I am happy, very happy. I was surprised at what they could do with the imaging and they throw such a large soundstage. Best part is they sound great at a louder than my normal listening, but withought any fatigue..

I've read that they really do sound like you are at a live venue and that is so true. For the first time in a long time I am really excited about listening to all types of music again..Jazz, Rock, Electronic (really amazing)and the upper bass kick is something I've never experienced in my home set up before..I wasn't expecting that:) but I like it...a lot.

I will soon post some pictures of my setup and add some more comments..
take care all,
Thanks again
Mike
