I wrote to a friend who might answer that, but have not heard back from him. If I do, I'll let you know. I'll be out of town, with intermittent internet access, so I'll get back to you when I can if I have more information. In the meantime, I would just call or write DH Labs and see if they might be of some help. Sorry I don't know more about how this wiring was acquired.
The wiring on my La Scala's had been replaced when I bought them. He used DH Labs silver wiring. Looks pretty simple to do. You might check on the www.klipsch.com forums for more information/alternatives.
The crossovers take about five minutes to 'install'. The new crossovers are labeled just as the originals are, so it's simply a matter of connecting the wires to the proper post.
Sure thing. I am really happy with the crossovers, other than the fact that the more expansive projection of the music makes us need a bigger room for this system even that much more than we already did. In your gameroom, I'm sure that you would greatly benefit from crossovers. And at $250, they are absolutely worth the price. Howard
Beautiful system. To answer your question, I moved from the Wright Sound Mono 3.5 (2A3) amps to an Audion Silver Night MKII (300B). Just recently got a set of Western Electric 300B's, and I am in heaven. I use Klipsch La Scala's, circa 1977. I also replaced the crossovers with ones made by a gentleman selling on eBAY (under Klipsch crossovers). They are replicas of the originals, and were a wonderful 'addition.' They did nothing to change the sound, just delivered more of it, as the originals would if they were still relatively new.
As you mention, the thing I noticed most from changing amps was a BIG increase in the bottom end. This system will now play everything well except hard rock. The range of the amp is much greater than with the 2A3's. I will say that for pure midrange bliss, the Wright's are fantastic. However, once I went with the NOS tubes in my 300B amp, I struck gold as far as I'm concerned. It sounds amazing, and the Klipsch/SET combination is stellar IMO. The Western Electric's were the trick. VERY expensive, but their good for 40,000 hours and come with a 5-year warranty. And they sound soooooooooo good!
If you have any other questions, please ask. By your comment, it sounds like you already have a good idea of what the change in amps would produce.
