Klipsch La Scala --two types?

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

You can contact Dean Westcott through the Klipsch Forum.

The Beyma CP25 is a drop-in tweeter replacement, but the tweet body would need to fit on top of your speaker as it is larger than the K77M.

Not sure who might carry Fane's tweets these days.

If you want to take it far, replace the top section with one of Bill Martinelli's Creations

Plenty of decent tube amps out there. It really depends upon your budget. "Not too pricey" means something different to different people. There's various tube amps built in China yielding big bang for the buck (I'm assuming you're looking for an integrated) from companies like Jolida, Cayin, Prima Luna, etc.

Thanks again Marco

Jax2 & Elevick gave excellent info. The woofer in the Industrial Lascala is actually a K-43 instead
of a K-33. It is able to handle more power/watts
than the K-33 woofer.

All 3 gentleman mentioned are excellent trustworthty Klipsch Heritage crossover Gurus. I have 3 upgraded crossovers from Dean Westcott. I own two pair of Cornwalls with DeanG's Type B crossovers-one with Auricaps & the other with Jensen Aluminum Paper In Oil Caps. I have Type A with Jensen Aluminum Paper In Oil Caps in my 1989 Industrial Lascalas.

My 1989 Industrial Lascalas are in unfinished birch with black plastic handles on the sides. They look the same as a home model Lascala with the exception of the side black handles. And there is a rectangular piece of wood attached with wood screws that covers the back where the crossovers are at in the Industrial Lascalas I own.

On all the home version Lascalas I have seen pictures of, the crossover area is open.

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
