Who has room for La Scalas? (Rhetorical question for which I prefer there not be answers proffered...thanks) However, they do seem to be a bargain at 4 grand, and based on my recent success (a pleasant surprise) with Heresy IIIs I can only imagine (which will have to do as none of the nearby Audio Salons have them for audition) they sound splendid indeed. But how far away from them do you need to be? Near the butler pantry? Do you have to move the vintage globe collection? The Milton busts? (plural) Heresy IIIs need subs (I have 2) but otherwise there's yer Klipschy Taste of Tasty Horn fun right there for relatively small funds, and mine are 9 feet from my fat head.
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
As just another way to build a loudspeaker system why such disputes in forums when horns are mentioned? They can solve many issues that plague standard designs but with all things have there own. So why such hate? As a loudspeaker designer I work with and can appreciate all transducer and loudspeaker types and I understand that we all have different needs budgets experiences tastes biases. But if you dare suggest horns so many have a problem with that suggestion..why?

I listened to the LaScala's at CAF. On the day in that room their spectral balance seemed a little tipped up to me, and overall they didn't sound quite as warm as I, personally, like in a sonic presentation. I gather there are a number of professional and DIY after-market mods that can have quite an impact on this, though. |
