Klipsch La Scala --two types?

I have a chance to purchase a pair of Black La Scalas (built in mid 80's) with side carrying handles. I believe they call these the industrial type? Does anyone know if they are identical to the non "industrial type" wood grain finish etc.. Are the crossovers the same? drivers the same? Overall do they sound the same?

I've read that the K77M tweeter, K55M midrange. and the AL-3 crossover are the best for these speakers. If so are the other types of drivers crossovers that much different?

Would an Onkyo TX-SV70PRO 90 watt/channel AV Tuner amplifier be a decent match to run them with?

What would a fair price for these be? Any other information on them would be helpful...
Thanks
Mike

Jax2 is absolutely correct.
The home version is prettier/more wife friendly.
These are huge. You will 95% of the quality and sound with a pair of Cornwalls if the size is an issue.
An Onkyo running them? Nah...not in the same league.
The Onkyo will have more than enough power, 3 watts is all it takes. However, it will probably sound a bit harsh and even over exaggerated. Look at tubes, class A rated amps or something a little more forgiving for power.
