I'm looking to build a copy of the Klipsch La Scala using my own existing drivers and crossovers from another speaker.
Does anyone know where to find blueprints or working drawings for these speakers in English with American measurements?
I've found some bits and pieces on the web but none in English and their metric measurements. Maybe I'm just searching the wrong way.
Anyone know of a source?

have you considered a belle or the Peavey FH1 as an option? Neither have the dead spots on the horn that the LaScala does and both have more room inside of the doghouse for cast basket woofers which the LaScala does not. A longer horn with fewer problems. The Peavey FH1 is a little bit better than the Belle but either is a real step up over the Lascala.
I like Belle's depth and thus looks better than FH1. (I still prefer a K12 with strong motor 12 and K-tube to FH1 - but they're quite different - plus I'm biased towards K - when they are good 😀)
Hey Fred I agree Belle looks so very well proportioned and the FH1 does not buy much more in performance though, the side wall braces are required no matter which one is built.
I have not built a K12 yet but I sure do love what a double cutaway K-Tube can do on small or large format drivers I have used them on a number of tweeters and compression drivers including the EV DH1506 and EV DH1A. I prefer the tube over any horn I have used/heard so far.
I just wanted for the OP to be aware of the short comings of the LaScala prior to a build for which efforts could just as easily be invested on a better design. K12 is a nice saving in cabinet volume over any of the above options.
