You have a great speaker in the Lascala.
I had a pair of them from 1987 to around 93 or 94.

There are several upgrades besides the ones you listed.
Without a doubt the first thing I would do is address the mid horn, commonly referred to as the "squaker". You may find it perfectly acceptable - or not.
I found it fatiguing (as do many others) and actually piercing after an hour of listening.

The reason for this is that while the Atlas K-55 is a very good compression driver, the stock K-400 mid horn is not - it's a headache maker!

There's a fella on the Klipsch forum that goes by "Got Hover" named Dave Harris who is the proprietor of Daves Fast Lane Audio. Dave makes a wonderful wood horn that is a drop in replacement for the K-400. This horn is much smoother and just plain better than the stock horn. Even a Altec 511b is a far better horn.

The K-33 woofer (stock) is a great woofer, and the K-77 tweeter is fine.

Give Dave a call.
