I like the La Scala, sold a set during hard times and broke my back getting a new pair. Terrible sellers remorse. It is and can be something so much better by finishing that horn loading down to frequencies only picked up by feel.
It's not a bass thing it's something that's missing you have grown accustomed to.
The upper section sounds very similar to Altec Lansing of old, spent my childhood listening to them. Better in some ways, lesser in others. And for that kind of cash the baffle should come in an assortment of colors.🤔
Check for air leaks, get a 25 hz frequency on repeat or burn something. Get the woofer come moving a bit and use a small 3/16 or so hose one side to your ear and the other fish for leaks around the components and cabinet. This makes finding sound degrading leaks easy.
