The LaScala rolls off in the mid 50 cycle range. Most will want to run a sub with it. If that's not in the cards, the Cornwall, which is 3db less sensitive, will go down to the upper 30s and sounds more balanced sans sub.

When the message arrived in my email I just got the CONTENT on your message, not the heading.
The heading answered the question and the content was about the speakers needing a sub.
Thanks...I have your input and it was just what I needed.

However. it is the La Scalas that have been offered and the question is, how much should he have to pay for them?
Condition, condition, condition.
Are they raw birch plywood, or finished oiled Veneer? Do they have the original drivers (square or round K-33 woofers)? Have the crossovers been re-capped? Were they in a theatre/night club, or a home?
I have seen them go for as little as $700 for a cosmetically challenged pair, and up to $2,000 for a vintage pair in very good condition.
Viridian is right - They roll off pretty fast below 55hz and after 15,000hz (with the K-77 tweeter). I had a pair while in the service in the mid 80's and found them too un-balanced with their lack of bottom end - Just my opinion.
Sam Tellig did a pretty good review on them about 3 or 4 years ago where he went into some detail about their "polite" top end which he tried to fix with a super tweeter.
Bring a pick-up truck and some help schlepping if you buy them; They are huge!
Below is a link to a forum that will likely have a ton more information. Good luck.
