but I'm not a professional Audio Engineer, therefore I lack the qualification to make such a statement. And I'm an outsider to the church. If appropriate, I may ask why are they making a change? Maybe there is an issue with failing aged amps or oxidized cabling. Not knowing what they plan on buying, I would wonder if they are going to need a lot more power to drive them - which could be an additional expense. My understanding is that there were several versions of the La Scala. So I'm going to ask if I can take some pics and will post them for inputs. In summary though, I hope to be able to do the Pastor a solid.

Few parishioners in the average church are professional audio engineers either, let alone pastors, a situation that IME church installers take full advantage of. If the electronics are vintage then chances are they could use upgrading, but even today it's hard to beat the LaScala. In highly reverberant spaces a line source would be an improvement, but otherwise probably not. I'd show him this, taking note of the $4k price:
He was out today, but I left behind a pic of the new La Scala II with text on $4K price each, and pic of his more dated unit. His assistant had this great stunned look on her face when she saw the price of $4K each (for new 2016). Included list of avenues to look at to possibly selling them on (i.e., Audiogon, Audioasylum, Klipsch Garage, regional Audio Clubs). Posting some pics, which are real rough.
I wouldn't want something made of trashboard suspended over-head. Most old Klipsch heritage networks could be reconfigured easily to AA or whatever type. If he wants to spend $ and you can get the old LS dirt cheap - then its "God's Will" ;^)
