    Or did you miss the La Scala part?
    That is pretty funny But the I still like Paul Hogan's commercial on US television, "put another shrimp on the barbie."

    Sorry, yes, I did forgot about the that little part the enhancing the sound of a La Scala. The La Scala mid K91 horn & driver was supposed to have been the "tour de force" of Klipsch R&D engineering.

    A 300Hz horn is going to be real imposing in any home room. I guess you will just have to "seek and ye shall find(that is a bit of out of context, but I think you will get the meaning)" and maybe keep your eyes open and maybe a pair will turn up somewhere. But that shipping is going to be deal breaker.

    BTW(by the way): I had a chance to meet Paul Klipsch years ago when he was still alive at the AES convention in Los Angeles. I put my hands on one of their Belle Klipschs just feel the mirror smoothness of the finish. This one was walnut. Then Mrs Klispch came along right away and wiped it down.

    Well the pattern is kinda tight....

    (9)Altec horn 299-8AT driver will consider sell1@a time - eBay (item 280571540159 end time Oct-15-10 18:32:34 PDT)

    This guy, has issues. Seems to be a nice enough fellow but thinks he is sitting on a gold mine. he isn't. A fair price for these is about 700-750 a pair, and that is what I would offer. About 650 for drivers, and 100 for the big horns that often have to be given away.

    He has a few with 290-4G.

    If you buy those don't pay a lot. The horns have little resale, and shipping is gonna be rough.
    Your neighbors called. They like your music.
