I am having some issues navigating this site. Am I starting correctly by choosing “Start new topic”? When I select garage sale a drop down box appears and I can only select Alerts, Lounge, or Right this minute. What is the process to post in the main Garage sale section? -
Very interesting older thread with the mention of requiring a larger cabinet to solve this. Brings the Volti Audio Vittora to mind because it has a wider bass cabinet "mouth" at roughly 32" vs the La Scala's roughly 25" width and I would guess the Vittora's horn shaped bass cabinet would probably reduce bass resonances as well. It's very odd because whenever I listen to any sound demos of the La Scala's with my headsets, I always hear audible bass cabinet resonances that make me wonder if contributes too much coloration. I have never heard the La Scala's in person to say for sure, so I'm in no position to fully judge. I'm mainly stating the empirical impression I get. It's very difficult to find unbiased reviews. I only play jazz at moderate listening levels and perhaps stand-up bass sounds nice in the La Scala's, I really don't know all the facts nor am I qualified. It's certainly an interesting topic of discussion that has me wondering. Perhaps that coloration is what connects listeners to the La Scala emotionally and an emotional connection is what's important to me most. This is why I'm not often persuaded just by measurements. It's just an audible observation I noticed, but not having heard La Scala's in a proper setting for real, prevents me from being able to judge. I love great mid-range and that's something that often impresses me about the idea of the La Scala's. -

Hi @njlandry90, referring to the photo below I've drawn a red line that divides the high/low voltage sections. Generally you would want to avoid touching the capacitors on the left side until the power board has been left sitting idle for some time, i.e 30 mins or more. The capacitors at C05 and C06 are the culprit. You can replace them with better known brands of low ESR (equivalent series resistance). I'm using Chemi-Con KZE series capacitors, 220uF 16V (diameter 6.3mm, height 12mm). While the old capacitors are out, you may want to remove as much of the surrounding glue as possible. That will aid cooling. Alternative capacitors: https://www.digikey.com/short/75ff0hbm https://mou.sr/4dJcXXT Good luck! -
If you price quality film and foil caps you'll find they are *much* more than $3 each. I will not recommend metalized film caps, except, maybe, in parallel with the woofer when replacing electrolytic caps. Still, you might find Solen film and foil caps available in the Great White North. Crossovers are a significant expense for speaker manufacturers. More expensive when we buy 3 or 4 at a time rather than 400. -
