I picked up a pair of Klipsch KG4s with a 1990 build date for the princely sum of $10 today. No visual damage to the speaker cones, surrounds or voice coils. I'll get them hooked up tomorrow to report on the sound and get photos uploaded

$10 is a 'you suck' price. Good deal.

yes it most definitely is It'll be nice to hear to some of the projects I've been working on, on something other than studio speakers.

I know of a Klipsch La Scala for sale. Are these really that rare?

Some people have all the luck. All I've managed to score lately are these Realistic PA-100's with 15" woofers. They were free, however!

I would be all over some vintage Klipsch speakers...

So what are you going to hook them up to? Need some tubes for a DIY tube amp build?

Nice get. I'd like to listen to, sorry - "audition" - some LaScalas one day.

Sweet! That was my dad's speaker choice when he first invested in a quality system. They still sound great. My brother also invested in a used pair.

I had some klipsch in a 40,000 square foot shop and they were clear sounding everywhere. The guy I got them from said they were out of a theatre.

I picked up a Harmon karman SR300B for $40 this evening to run them. Eventually I will put together tubes to power them, for now an early low power solid state will work as they're going into a 14x16' room.
