Flint, if it's Flint, MI, has no jobs anymore.
You can be nice and give the guy what he wants, or take advantage of his situation and bargain him down.
Depends on what kind of a person you are. Looks like a huge speaker, and while some of these older Klipsch have killer sound, it looks way to big for my wife to let me bring inside.

I am not sure what he means by built in amps? possibly the crossovers? The price is ok no screaming deal.
Maybe that's why he wants to get rid of 'em. When he plugs his turntable into them, nothing comes out.

That would be true if here were tryig to do that. I think these have all the same components as the Klipshorns just in a different box.

I think he's looking at the crossover board and interpreting it as a on-board amplifier. I have La Scalas, and these look just like mine (although in a different finish.)
I paid less, though I had to put in new tweeters. $1000 sounds fair if they're in good condition cosmetically and if all the drivers are working. Fair, but no score.

These are bog-standard LaScalas (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). If they're in good shape, $1k is certainly a reasonable price. On the other hand, I saw a pair on CL in Seattle recently that went for $500 (which was a steal).
Spartanmanor is correct - they use more-or-less the same drivers (tweeter, squawker, woofer) as the K-horn, but are tuned differently. However, like the K-horn, they are also fully horn-loaded.

LaScalas... $1000 is a bit high for today's market, but shipping is a big part of it, so perhaps a deal for someone local. I agree with SM that he must be confusing the crossovers for amps.
When I found my LaScalas, they were decommissioned from a church organ and each actually did have a 100W SS amp mounted inside. Paid $100 for the pair, flipped the amps for $200... I still consider it my best score ever.

I'd hate you, except I picked up a pair of Heresy 250A Industrials for $120 a while back...
No...I still hate you for getting paid $100 to take a pair of LaScalas.
Lets hope he didn't plug the speaker wires into the wall, and looked for the on switch

Yes the ones in Seattle are in good shape. They have their share of minor bumps and bruises, but the asking price of 500.00 was a no brainer for me. I was actually able to get them for 400.00, and as fast as the seller said yes to my offer, I probably could have paid less for them, but still a great price. May I ask what "Bog" means? I am not familiar with this klipsch terminology.
