In Reply to: RE: La Scala speaker surround durability posted by Charlie8521 on October 13, 2016 at 12:09:15
So I went back to take some pics with my iPhone. Pics came out real crappy, but the cabinet configuration is clear (do I need to go back and try to take pics with a traditional camera due to the distance). Note large handles on sides, which appear to have name Klipsch in white on them. But no metal trim like Pro line. If looking at rear of speaker with tweeter on top, the speaker cable connection would be in upper right corner. Only issue I can see is that they may have drilled into them to hang them by chains, not sure if mounting points are solely on back side. Church Corner Stone say building dedicated 1985. I would assume their serial numbers are sequencial. So what version do you think they are? And what might be a window on value per pair? $500, $1,000, $1,500, $2,000. Again, I have no interest in them, just trying to offer the Pastor a constructive word if they move forward with wanting to sell them.

LaScalas used in a church haven't suffered anything! I bought some used in a nightclub and they were still perfectly okay. Speech and chruch music don't put any stress on the drivers. If those are put for sale, they'd be a fantastic deal!!!
When I opened the bottom of my la scalas, it smelled like someone was in the room chain smoking! I imagine they did some time in a bar somewhere!
That vintage generally had the less desirable AL networks.
If all the drivers are OK, I would guess around $800~$1000 a pair.
I would suggest they refurbish them (not replace them).
Warning:
Churches feel they HAVE to blow a certain amount of money, and often do not want to save money.
So Crites makes a AL-3 Cross Over for $375/pair. Is this CO swap out going to greatly improve their performance (certainly over a 29 yr. old cross over), or are these speakers given their vintage just so-so in performance due to the design at that time? They also state they have a better tweeter, at I believe $225/pr.
The AL networks can be overhauled and updated to a better design for less than the cost of a whole new network.
