I know a fair amount on the EV Sentry IV.  Even have a pair of their external crossovers along with a pair of those mid horns. 

 

They are fully horn loaded design on all three sections, and are very efficient.  2 woofers, 12" in the big cabinet.  The mid horn is a SM-120.  I think the driver on it was usually a 1823M (which as strange as this sounds was built as a siren horn driver).  The tweeter a ST350A, a very respected design and was made over several generations.  The crossover points were 400hz I think on the low end and 3.5K on the top end.  There also should be what was called a tweeter protector, a model STR, with them.

 

These were a pretty common PA system at one time.  You can rock a pretty good outside area or a club with them.  Most cabinets are pretty rough these days, due to being often hauled around for bands a lot.  The drivers are all pretty servicable and available, the crossover servicable too.  I have a copy on the original service manual and if you can find the right place, is still posted on the EV website.

 

I happen to know about the IV's as I have a pair of the Sentry III's, which came after the IV's and are more of a home model and use the same mid and HF arrangement.  They don't come along too often, though I'm thinking about parting with mine since I have so many different speakers around.  And it would help domestically if I lower the count some....

I've never heard that model of EV, but I'd think the LF would have a good chance to excede the La Scala's that I've heard.  Neither will dig down to the lowest frequencies though.  I'd think the mid's and high's would be similar.  Not that the EV crossover is shabby, but the crossover in the Klipsch is built from a bit better parts.  The tweeter protecter is a bit of an advantage that direction if your into block parties.  On value...I've seen a few EV's go cheap with blown out woofers and so forth while often nicer wood in the La Scala holds their value up pretty good.  Maybe...$350-400 for a beat up version and double that or a bit more, if all is nice.  That'd be my guess...

 

Good luck with 'em and report in if you go for it!
