wow- I WOULD love have these (right coast too). We used a pair of these for drum monitors or side fills back the late 80's early 90's in a sound co. I worked for. And also used them as the mains for smaller club work. They were beasts. Sensitive and finicky on the power they wanted but when matched well sounded great. And rugged as hell. We had the 4 way big Klipsch PA system (name/model? 4 way, passive crossovers, tweeter, 2 horns & massive bottom cabs) massive amounts of macintosh power on the bottom end and passive crossovers that sucked power like crazy- but it sounded terrific. Was abused in venues and state fairs all over the South East. memories...

Sorry. I sold them. I will miss them.

FYI I got $1200 for the pair. Not on ebay.

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.
