@Tim Sr. I see you sneakin in here now. 😂 Welcome to the "other" side of this place. It's @Tarheel's brain child and we all try to emulate him. He never breaks or loses his composure. A born leader! Something blows, pour another cuppa, put your feet up, go on line and use that gold card. 85 today and I'm thinking about trimming bushes? Ummm, no! -

No, I don't own a Bottlehead - that's on my bucket list when (and if) I retire. Still a pipe dream. I've never owned a Decware amplifier either. One or other will be paired with AK6s which is also in my wish list for next year. -
I would love to buy these and will chuck a little extra on if you can box 'em and drop 'em off at FedEx!!! (aussie over here) -
because... STREAMING SUCKS. -

I have owned a pair of LaScala's since the late 70's. They were manufactured in 1975 and 1976 based on how I understand the serial numbers to work (5N132 and 6P738). I used them to help me pay for college (used them for DJing). For the last number of decades, they have been unused and in various storage locations. I recently retired and am in the process of cleaning them up and repairing a lot of dings and scratches and delamination of some of the birch veneer. As I was doing that, I began to wonder about the placement of the tweeter and squawker horns behind that 3/4" plywood front panel. The openings are basically rectangular openings a bit smaller then the horns. My question to the audiophiles out there is if the sonic characteristics would be better to mount the horns on the surface of the front panel rather then behind the plywood (ignoring how you would do that for a minute). It would seem that the unsmooth transition of the wood stepping in front the horn opening would have an affect on the sound. Of course I don't have much of a clue about these things - and I don't have any program or anything to model it. But I am hoping it is something that may have been discussed before or that folks have considered. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you. -

@edwinr Have you owned a Decware amplifier? I see you have a Bottlehead in your picture, is that your current amplifier? -
Welcome Tim Sr. I see you over in "Right This Minute" often as I'm catching up with Gary's pics of his systems. Don't be a stranger! -
bad idea ...? https://www.thomann.de/it/t.akustik_ap_180_2.htm (or something similar ...) https://www.thomann.de/it/ekustik_woody_queen_japan_trio.htm 😅 -
Do you think the sound was thin compared to other audio sources like vinyl records and CDs? Or are you listening to this entire set for the first time, and is this your first impression of the LaScala?
