Used Forte IIIs or Chorus IIs will give you LaScala sound stage w/out space constraints. Then a small tube amp and you’ll enjoy the music!
Help this old rookie with speakers
Been reading a lot of the discussions and I am super impressed with the knowledge here.
And a sage piece of wisdom that I got 40 years ago is "if you want to get your a$$ handed to you, try to be an expert in another man's field".
So... I'm looking to put a new set of speakers in my living room. I have an NAD 2400 amp. that I have owned for 30 years, and it has served me well powering my Boston Acoustics VR975 speakers
I've had an affinity for La Scala's for a long time, but I think they are a little big for this space. So I was wondering if anyone had experience with the Crites Speaker Type CS Style B. They seem to be like Cornwalls and a very good price.
Thanks!

Hi, @tbick . Welcome. As a Boston Acoustics and Klipsch dealer for decades, I am very familiar with both. Your ears (and brain) have become quite at home with the Bostons. Like a pair of old comfortable slippers. I’m a Klipsch fan (currently do performance modifications), but, if possible, I’d suggest you put a pair of your model of choice in your room and spend some quality time with them. They will sound quite different than the Bostons. You may love them from the first note, or it could be a classic example of "mission creep" -- room acoustics -> cabling changes -> upgraded front end, etc to get just the sound you’re looking for. It will all be worth it in the end. Just don’t expect "the perfect sound" when you first power them up. Break in time matters (with new speakers), but you should get a pretty good feel for their personality within a few hours. Good luck. |
