A true center should be the C in an LCR setup, with 3 matching speakers. A horizontal center is a set of compromises made for the home market where we must fit items into our home.
While I, too, have a horizontal center, the Heritage models do have a true center.
I agree with you completely and I can't speak for everbody but I refuse to run another heritage speaker for use as a center. For aesthic reasons.

The Cornwall is a center to the Khorns. You could also use the La Scala or Belle.
I understand that but a true center channel that is built and designed to be horizontal rather than utilitzing another full size tower from another heritage line. Running 3 full size towers up front just doesn't make for a waf.

When I was looking for a center channel between forte ll's the next closest thing was an Academy or I think it was c-7 ? Both was only a few inches short of a forte laying down, not a BIG difference. I would guess to be a "true center" if would have to be big to match the sound, like the size of RF centers to Rf towers, there not small.
If the center is any less that the mains you will really hear it since so much info is from the center, it has to keep up.
The only real difference with laying them down is which way the horns are pointing, I have been doing it for years you would be surprised how little difference it really makes, people who say differently must be able to hear much better then me ?
I'm sure the academy's do well with the fortes but I was referring to the klipschorn, la scala, belle, and cornwalls.

What I would like to see from Klipsch is for them to come out with a true center channel for their heritage line rather than using another "tower" from the heritage line like we do now.

I'd add La Scala to the mix, I like bass extension and was told get Cornwalls.
I got a pair of La Scala first, that midrange horn is hard to give up and it is easy to add a sub if you need more bass.
I agree! The midrange on the La Scala is amazing!

I currently have the Fortes I, La Scala I, and Cornwalls I. I would place them in this order: La Scala, Forte, Cornwall.

It's probably the same guy that's been trying to peddle them on the local craigslist for a couple of years now. (or else this guy bought them from that guy and is trying to flip them)
What's the whole story behind this?

How do these sound compared to the original k-horns?
Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk -
No biggee!
So the widest I was able to place them apart are 10' toe'd in, left tower in a corner and the right tower sits right where the living room opens into the kitchen and yes the sound stage has expanded tremendously. You are right. These Cornwalls need to be at least 12 feet apart. The imaging is near perfect without Audyssey. The sound is big and a lot smoother than it was before although still bright and in your face. I believe with more tweaking it should clean and even out more. Running Audyssey will probably clean it all up.

saying that heritage prefers tubes is a very generalized statement. There's a lot more to it than that. Room configuration, source, type of music, etc. all plays into it. It's not the amp, it's the positioning of the speakers. 1 foot off the wall and 12 feet apart would be much, much better.
Yes I totally agree. There's too many factors involved and saying heritage prefering tubes is a generalized statement, but I got that from all the reading I've done the last few years in regards to the heritage line. I don't have first hand experience so I shouldn't have used that statement.

Why not?
I've never owned that amp and didn't know they were bad.
It's not that they're bad but from what I gather, heritage prefers tubes. However, I don't believe its the amp because if it was then the La Scalas would sound just as bad. If anything it's a reflection of the speaker itself that is giving me that sound and not so much the amp.

Not the best idea with heritage speakers...
I know heritage prefers tubes but the Emotiva's sound signature is very close to the Marantz.

The Corns are currently about 3 feet from the back wall and about 7 feet apart.

Bright and harsh? Thin? Could you please let us know the drivers in your CW's, the crossover and what amp/preamp/source you are using?
The Corns are stock, unmodified. La Scalas are also stock and unmodified.
I'm running a Marantz sr6011, Emotiva XPA-5 (2nd gen) amp.
When I have more time I'm going to run Audyssey on the Corns, move them back further and wider apart to see if that improves it.

Here is what I notice so far. Cornwalls: bright, harsh, in your face, thinner than la Scalas, fuller in the bass region, more bass.
La Scalas: warm, smooth, airy, huge and wide sound stage, more midbass/chest punch type bass.

Just picked up a pair of Cornwalls I and wow, I can't believe that Cornwalls are big. They're bigger than the La Scalas I have in my living room and the plan was to throw these into my bedroom to replace the Fortes I currently have in there.
One thing though, I'd like to put to rest the La Scala vs Cornwall dilemna for good. At least from my own perspective. I've read too many good things about the Cornwalls and couldn't pass up on these even though I know I shouldn't have.

Has anyone attempted a custom la scala center channel build
?
-
Will audessy be enough? I was thinking rc-64II for center, la scalas for mains, and rs-62II's for rears.
-
Another heritage or la scala is probably out of the question...
-
What color are they?
-
I call dibs... how much shipped to 92220? Any more pictures the cabinet? How does the Academy compare to you using another Forte as the center channel?

I agree. I have a custom diy 15" ported sub setup that is the size of a coffee table and it looks good sitting right where the center would be. It looks perfect with my la scalas.
