Friend at work is now a proud owner of La Scalas

[131east23]

Had fun tonight running down to Eugene from Portland to look at some La Scalas with a good friend from work. When we arrived we found them a bit rough on the outside but all original, consecutive numbers, and sounding just fine. They were built in 1980, like my Cornwalls. He had no problem deciding they were for him. He paid and we loaded them up (big and heavy, wow) and drove back to Portland. I got a free dinner for my assistance and had a nice little road trip helping to further the cause and turning someone on to Klipsch speakers.

Congrats, I just picked up a pair of my own last weekend. 1982, I believe.

Got some chips and dings but sound amazing!
Will listen to them for a year or so and then maybe do a crossover upgrade from Crits or ALK and then maybe resurface the cabinets.

Hooked up to an Onkyo TX-SR607 with an older Klipsch KV-2 Center, Klipsch .5 bookshelf loud speakers for surrounds and Klipsch SW-10 from the 1990's.
