Life changing events lead me to a time to say good bye to two great friends.
Originally, named Jake and Elwood, a matched pair of LS-BR La Scalas have been
with me since I purchased them new in August of 1986. They were raw, loud, and
unblemished then. Today they are with color: Minwax Ipswich Pine, a top layer
of birch veneer to cover a water stain, and the awesome sound from a 2005
upgrade to the ALK Engineering network. As I recall, parts alone for the ALKs
was over $200 and I feel I did a damn good job with the assembly. To further
protect the tops, a custom set of 1/4 glass plates are included. I thought of
selling them on Craigslist, E-Bay or Audiogon, but I would really like to keep them in the
Klipsch forum community.
At $1200 for the pair and a conservative rating of 8.5 out of 10, I feel
this is a price I can be firm with and the new owner will be pleased.
The lucky buyer must be able to come get them.
I will try to get more pictures this week.
Just relax and listen.
