  1. I noticed the same thing when I went from La Scalas to Fortes.

    I find I enjoy more music now with the Fortes than I did with the LS.

    About 20% of my cds sounded better on the La Scalas cause they were very good recordings but 60% sounded okay and 20% sounded bad.

    The LS are so revealing of bad recordings that it was frustrating and the okay cds were just that okay. With the very good cds I could sit back and just enjoy the music. The okay cds I was never able to just enjoy the music cause I wanted them to sound like the very good cds so they were more low level background music.

    A lot more cds sound much better on the Fortes than on the La Scalas. Now the very good cds sounded better on the LS.

    Now many of my okay cds sound much closer to the very good recordings so now I can just enjoy the music more.

    I think Cornwalls and Chorus also do this.

    KHorns and La Scalas with the right equipment and very good recordings sounds outstanding.

  2. I've seen pics of that done with a La Scala.

    I have a single La Scala that I use for center channel that I bought off Ebay. It was seriously beat up so I did not mind cutting off the top section and put that under the tv with the bass bin turned on it's side next to it. Works great.

    My bass bin is not like in the pic but turned on it's side, on the right side of the HF section with a 50 inch tv on top and a grill cover.

  3. As long as you don't need multi-channel outputs (PS3 only has HDMI), it's a great unit.

    My A/V receiver does not have HDMI and I had 5.1 surround sound with the PS3 that I sold you so it should have a optical out but not coax.

    Now the latest versions of the PS3 may only have HDMI.

  4. I hate to hear about these types of criminals preying on people!!

    Next time it happens to me I'm saying no thanks walking away and calling the cops to find out if there is anything they can do. I hate to say it but I don't think the cops will be able to do anything unless they are in the parking lot but I may be wrong.

    I think you did the right thing leaving him happy in his ignorance much better than upsetting him.
