Klipsch LaScalla "upgrade"?

I have a pair of Klipsch LaScalla speakers which I purchased new in 1983. I have made no changes to them. I would like to continue using them with my new system, (Audio Research: amp=VS55, preamp=LS25MKII, phono amp=PH5, turntable (Linn Axis), etc.

I was told that I should have the speakers "re-conditioned," i.e., rewired, additional bracing, etc.

Can anyone help me with either suggestions or refer me to some one or entity who could assist me.

Thanks, Mike.

Someone I know just bought this kit from Bob Crites. He is quite happy with it, paired up with a 300B SET amp. La Scala mids & highs and bass response apparently down to 30Hz. Write Bob, and he can quote you the kit prices.

Y Mac,

Sean is an electronics guy here at the Audiogon Forum...

At the Klipsch link provided scroll down little over 1/2 way and there will be Dean G. who just finished my 4.2 crossovers.

Mike,

I was just looking up some modding suggestions on the horns & realized I sent you to the wrong post for suggestions

Try this one:

How do those tweaks and upgrades compare with the stock unit?

For instance, would everybody recommend doing this tweaks on the La Scala, or simply buy an stock Klipschhorn instead?

Thank you

I can only speak for the 4.2's but there is such a difference I will keep them for a while longer.

Dean is one of the guys who does many others like Klipschorns LaScalas and RF7's to name a few.
