Well after about 6 months I am allmost done with my Music/HT room. Thanks for all the help from people on the forums. I just need to install the horns and tweeters and crossovers and move some furniture around. I also have the parts for a center Cornscala but have to find a cab shop. It will be JBL mid and top end also.. I am happy that now I just get to enjoy it. It sounds great.

I bought a Carada. Nice screen

Thanks, I had one Academy and they had two more for sale but the seller let me return it. I decided to go with a Cornscala after a few suggestions to better match the la Scal mains, Thanks

OK thanks. I will waite then since I have a single wood fastrac horn I have coming and I am going to AB it in a La Scala. The horn is for a center speaker Cornscala. More involved than what I thought.

Does anyone know on Crites AA to 4500 HZ modded crossover?

Nice mid and high's. But now the la Scala's are drowning the little 150 watt sub I have. Need the new sub bad. Roy Orbinson sounds great.

Today is the first day that I heard the La Scala's with a tube amp,tube pre-amp combo. The mids are a lot stronger. I was putiing Crites tweeters all the way in the back of the La Scala's now there in front again. Its not even broke in yet and it sounds a lot better with 511b's. Next I will try the La Scala wood horn in one of the la Scala's and AB them before I put the horn in the Cornscala Center speaker I am building. If after the wood horn the mids still sound to hot, does anyone know which tap to change on the autotransformer with Bob Crites 4500 hertz modded crossover to tame down the mids?

For now, Crites Cornwall Crossovers. To fit under the screen I will be making 2 (allmost) cubes. Split I can get them under my screen with a 1 inch tilt but stacked there 40 inches. About my ear height. . They will be about H20 xW26 x D24 each.. If this works well I would like to make 2 more of these(Maybe) as LR mains and move my La Scala to the back. If these horns are an improvement over the 511b I will put a pair in the La Scala right away. I would also like to get the La Scala back to stock looking instead of big cabs on top of them.The parts should be here by next Friday from Bob. Looks about 3 weeks away before its all done.

The 902 is a very nice driver, although as sootshe pointed out, you'll be missing out on the excellent high-end of the driver if using a tweeter. In my search to upgrade the k55, I ended up with the JBL 2470 (another phenolic driver, like the k55) and have found it to be a good match, smoother than the k55, nice body in the low end. If you're strictly looking for new, I'm sure others will speak up with recommendations. Ah yes I aspire to JBL. After a full H/T music system from scratch that will have to waite till another day.

Nothing is set in stone how I do this. I can make it a two way. The La Scala matching is what I wonder about with a 2 way 902 in the center and a 3 way La Scala as mains. I can start changing the La Scalas to match, but that will be another day and dollar. Can I handle the difference for a while untill I can? I dont know. If you need to move millions of tons of rock or a mountain, then I got you covered. Thanks all.

Thanks,I just did. Rod

Anyone use the Greatplains Audio 902-16a?

I am having built a Cornscala with 2 boxes like the industrial La Scala for a center speaker. I am buying the Fastrak Wood Horn to go into it with Bob Crites Cast iron Woofers and Bob Crites tweeters. I can buy any mid range driver I want(within reason, 1 inch please) New Klipsch k-55-v type driver or Greatplains 902-16a? Parts: Fastrack horn BobCrites Cornscala Network Crites woofers Crites tweeters Greatplains Audio driver specs look like a drop in replacement more or less. Specs at 500hz to 20k. I am using la Scala with 511b and AA networks crossed over at 4500 hz using Crites Schematics, and Bobs twetters in them for LF Mains. I have an invoice from Bob and before I hit the buy button I would like some opinions please?

No Sh**t. Maybe I can afford a Vespa now.

OK thanks guys. I just contacted the seller and offered them some money for there time and not ship it. If they wont accept my offer(ebay)I will put the Academy up for sale and try to find an industriial La Scala or Cornwall. The Cornwall sounds great because of the bass extension for sure. But that sub is sopossed to have a lot of output so I think either solution would work. Thanks everyone. I retired recently and have taken aout the last 4-5 months putting this together. I could of had a Harley though [8o|]
