Klipsch La Scala impressions

I can pick up a pair of La Scalas (1988) for $400. The exterior, black finish, is a little worn but all drivers and crossovers work well enough. Before lugging these 125 lb. beasts to the third floor of my house, is there anyone with an opinion on the 'sound' of these speakers. I've heard both raves and rants on these speakers.

Right now I have a set of Vandy 1b and 2b's. I have an el34 tube amp, patek gainclone kit amp, modified battery-powered amp6 and charlize. The high efficiency would match better than the 90db/watt of the vandersteen 1 with the lower power tripaths. Amps are preceeded by a Blueberry, Quicksilver, or passive stepped preamp. I have Amperex OGs in the blueberry and I think these will bring nice midrange body to the La Scalas, which I heard can sound a bit weightless.
