I hope Mike is planning on the DSP and a SUB.

I have posted this at times in the past. There may be minor updates in this version concerning filter differences between different DSP units. These are all the DSP settings I have known Roy to share for UG Jubs, "Jub-scalas", and MWM variations. If there are more, I don't have them. Roy's Jub settings.pdf

Any reports from the Bonehead class? Any pics? So how was it?

Hopefully, he got the rattle taken care of sometime in the last 16 yeas.

Have you tightened the tweeter and squawker horn mounting bolts at the front of the cabinet? If loose the bass horn could cause a buzz in the upper cabinet. I have seen loose tweeters in lascalas but not loose squawkers. But it is still worth checking. You might as well make sure the woofers are tightly mounted as well. That will be a PITA to check.

Everyone with Lascalas, any lascalas, will have new life when the new Klipsch horn subs come out. The only Klipsch Heritage I have heard sound better than lascalas with the new prototype subs are UG Jubs, and Heritage Jubs. It makes that big an improvement. The lascalas with a Heritage horn sub were just a tiny click below the UG Jubs. Those new subs make all the difference in the world and have the DSP, crossover, and amp all built in. Plug and play. Stick with the lascalas by all means, and absolutely get yourself a new Klipsch horn sub when they come out.

That's funny. No one knows how to operate this place.

Still looking for some help.

Please message me and I'll let you know what I need. Thanks.

I would not spend all that money and not get the DSP whether by AL5/upgrade, or AL6 outright. The DSP is considerably better sounding than the passive solution. As was just mentioned, there are respectable multi-channel amps out there that simplify things. The other item you should save your nickels for is an upcoming Heritage sub. You will need that and then you will have an incredible set of speakers. Last time I looked it was about a 5 year wait to get another Decware.

While I don't know this for sure I suspect that buying any future Heritage with DSP, we are going to need some way to make any additional wanted adjustments. We know now that you can't get into the Klipsch DSP for any adjustments. I know Roy is using the same DSP for the new lascalas and Khorns. One option would be to use the provided passive networks. But after the comparisons we heard I would still get the Klipsch DSP and have an additional one for further adjustments.

The settings "as is" would sound different in everyone's space as they were derived in the chamber. You need to adjust for the room unless you use the speakers outdoors. These Xilicas also have a graphic EQ section which I have used with great success in balancing the measurements within my room. As I recall it didn't take much. A few tweaks here and there. I haven't touched them in a long time.

But you have to know how to use them. As I stated earlier I place a huge value on Klipsch support........providing the settings. YMMV.

If these so called Chinese versions are found to be equivalent to the Canadian branded ones, I'd say they are worth every penny at those high Ebay prices. The Canadian units are clean, quiet, quite analog sounding, absolutely bulletproof, have a great PC tool UI, and interface well with home and pro audio gear. Plus, Roy has provided settings for UJ on the XP units. I would be interested in comparing to the originals. Hopefully the same.

You never know what's going to happen in these situations. We just need to wait and find out.
