Saturday was a busy day for Liam and I. Before the record crawl, we picked up this set of La Scala knock offs and brought them over to steve's place. They tip the scales at 110 ponds apiece.

Those are really cool!!! I bet I can hear them all the way out in Wright City if he'll open a window for a minute. Love those horns.

Yea, they will part your hair at a hundred paces, and they have some of the most beautiful veneer I have ever seen.

Ok, I'll bite. What type of drivers and crossovers does this have?

Eminence woofer, ev square back magnet tweeter, and who knows what mid driver - but not atlas.

So what is AK? Is that a small speaker builder? The initials of DIYer who built these?

AK was audio kinetics, Don and Kathy's Stereo store house brand in the late 70s. They were a Klipsch dealer in north St. Louis, and don decided he would sell knock offs he built out the back door, while selling the real thing out front.

Very nice, coming from a Klipsch convert at the hands of daves.

Always wondered how these compare to the big boys (authentic or not).

My ex-brother-in-law has Klipsch LaScalas, his suggestion got me interested in the first place. He was reliving a college stereo he had in the 70's. Never heard them though.

I got some guacamole to throw in if Steve's partying.
