Klipsch La Scala --two types?


I have a chance to purchase a pair of Black La Scalas (built in mid 80's) with side carrying handles. I believe they call these the industrial type? Does anyone know if they are identical to the non "industrial type" wood grain finish etc.. Are the crossovers the same? drivers the same? Overall do they sound the same?

I've read that the K77M tweeter, K55M midrange. and the AL-3 crossover are the best for these speakers. If so are the other types of drivers crossovers that much different?

Would an Onkyo TX-SV70PRO 90 watt/channel AV Tuner amplifier be a decent match to run them with?

What would a fair price for these be? Any other information on them would be helpful...
Thanks

Mike the answer to your question although late is the both commercial and home versions are the same exept for the woofers which are a heavy-duty better than stock. as far as the butt-cheek replacement tweeters and after market parts is a seperate issue and a matter of taste or lack of. Don't get caught up in the forum rat race of expensive upgrades. before you know you have invested twice as much as the speakers cost you.
It is fun to upgrade but it will get a little crazy. I started with La Scalas. And now have Altec 805B horns ,altec 288c ,Drivers, Beyma CP-25. Crites cross overs.In my La Scala bottoms. Well lets just say the La Scalas are good. But my La Scalas are incredible now.

Crites would be your one stop shop They sell all the parts. If you want the Behma then that's different.

If you don't want to mess with tubes small Class A amps are an alternative. Pass, First Watt, Luxman, Sugden are all good.

Or if you like things the way are, enjoy.
