Do you still have any EV HP940s for sale?

Thanks for the info. What kind of horns are you planning for your drivers?

Does anyone have information about the Electrovoice DH1A drivers? I know they are 2" exit and weigh a ton. Would they be viable in a home 2 channel setup? What is the sound quality? Thanks for any info:

There is no comparison between the Monitor Audio GS 10 and a Klipsch LaScala. The monito Audio is a 61/2" bookshelf. The LaScalas are 15" three way horn loaded speakers that will provide you with a tremendous aural and tactile sensation when listening to music or movies. I don't thinkk your room would be a problem except for the physical size of the LaScalas. In addition the LaScalas can do all of that with as little as 3 Watts RMS. Now the Magnepans are again a different type of speaker system from the Monitor Audio or the Klipsch. The Magies ar very inefficient (take a lot of power to get loud). They will provide a large sound stage but not the tactile sensation like the Klipsch, in my opinion. Now of course this is a biased opinion from someone who owns LaScalas on a Klipsch forum. The best thing to do is try to find someone or place to listen to the LaScalas. If you want music to sound like music get a pair of Klipsch speakers. Hope this is helpful.

For What it's Worth. I am not doing HT. However, I had a Marantz receiver and I thought it was a little bright with my LaScalas. I changed to a Harmon Kardon and the brightness was gone.

Thanks for the site. It is almost like being there live. GREAT SITE!!!

With 99db efficiency the 30 watt marantz should drive the Forte ll's to beyond max. If the Marantz is in good shape electronically it will be clean and pwerful sounding. If I remember correctly this how the db's and wattage should theoretically play out! 99db@1 watt 102db@2 watts 105db@4watts 108db@8 watts Hope this helps answer your question. Robert

Thanks, Robert

What 2" drivers are you using. Do you know of were I might find some. I already have 2 Reinkus Heinz 2" bolt on horns. Thanks, Robert

Is there an advantage to using 2" drivers and horns over 1" drivers and horns.

Thanks for the response. I will looking forward to doing more research. biglaz

Sorry for causing a raucus. I want to upgrade components. With the exception of AK crossovers, I am not knowledgeable of different mid drivers/horns and tweeter nor were to obtain these components. Please, point me in the right direction. Thanks, biglaz

Does anyone think changing to after market crossover would help? Thanks,Bob

Trying to smooth the sound out a bit.

Are there any easy ways to reduce thr overall volume of the midrange horn in the LaScala. I presently have the AAL-3 crossover. Thanks Biglaz
