Klipsch La Scala // Speakers / Custom Restoration

SOLD , now part of a Private Collection
This pair of La Scala's is one of our favorite custom restorations to date. The sky blue contrasts so wonderfully with the quarter sawn walnut, giving them a very unique and striking look that make them next to impossible to stop staring. This pair came from a professional studio musician and were rumored to have toured with the Eagles in the 70's. Given the shape they were in when we found them, we're inclined to believe it.
