As a former klipsch LaScala owner I can say they are a great speaker to own. Best part is you don't need very much power. A 30 watt amp will drive them louder than you can listen to indoors. You can spend your money on a nice, high quality amp, without breaking the bank. And add a sub if you want. I ended up with a REL sub but was happy without it for many years. As far as price goes, a beat up band PA pair that is good function wise should go for about $500. A pair that needs new drivers is still worth $200 if can be rebuilt and refinished. A new pair (yes, they still make them) cost $7000.00. I would say that the pair as you describe them, would be worth probably in the $900-$1500 range.

A tip, go to a tombstone maker (or countertop maker) and get a piece of 1 to 2in thick granite cut for the tops. It really helps damp the cabinet vibrations and tightens up the sound.
