Dear jesus that's a steal!
Definitely a bargain. Those arent the La Scala II like I showed on the Klipsch website, they are the original La Scala, which was sold in raw birch ply or painted black. The original was discontinued in 2005, but they were still $7000/pair new at that time. That speaker was relatively unchanged since its debut in 1963. Theyre very efficient...105dB 1W/m. So, sitting one meter away with 1W of input power, the sound pressure level will be 105dB....about twice as loud as a jackhammer :lol:.
We had talked before awhile back about a set of floor speakers and you sent me a few CL ads. I don't rember what they were however, I actually have some disposable money now to pick up some new speakers. Setup right now is a Harmon-Kardon 5.1 500watt reciever with 2 mtx thunder pro 2's. I want to move the MTX's are going to get moved out into the garage and would like to find something with a little more power and low end for in the house. What do you reccomend? And do you think the mtx's would be a good speaker for a garage application with very little to absorb any sound from them?
Thoughts on a soundbar setup for a space-consious room? Any suggestions?
Damn....that blows my deal on the Klipsch Chorus I's out of the water! :lol:Quote:

I use the soundbar & sub in an open living room, dining room, kitchen area of the house. When sitting on the couch watching movies it sounds great and has fooled me a few times into thinking I had the full set-up like I do downstairs. As with anything I recommend listening to what you are considering. I sampled so many subwoofers when I first settled on the Supercube II with my main set-up. So when another recently became available at a Best Buy Magnolia center I jumped on it and nabbed the soundbar from Amazon for my upstairs living room. I probably have 1/4 of the MSRP's invested in the system. So shop around and hopfully you can find some deals.
What old-school speakers would you recommend for garage use that can be found cheap at garage sales/craigslist? Something warm, not too critical, good amount of low-end, basically speakers that anything sounds good on. I've heard a lot of people speak about old Cerwin Vegas and Jensens for this purpose. Any brands/models you'd recommend? Preferably something with a 8-10" woofer as a 12-15" might be too big for the space I have to put them.
Thanks for the suggestion. I was looking at the Panasonic systems because of cost and matching the TV, allowing me to use the Viera Link on it (for now). This is more of a temporary setup until I have a place to install a full 5.1 system. Any place local that has the DT bar and I could listen to it?Quote:

I had just missed out on the bigger soundbar at the BB I got the subwoofer at. But I am VERY happy with the smaller one I ended up getting. It is more than enough for the room. The bigger one may have overpowered it too easily.Quote:

Your ears will tell you what you like and what you don't. My ears are picky and don't like distortion so I pick up on that stuff more than others.
