  1. We need to focus on his game plan to send his "Friend" off like its the last days of their lives. Forgive me if come across rude, but don't tell me you gonna drive all the way down to send "some one" to war with out the proper "send off"??
  2. First, do you own a Klipsch LaScala? Second, show us the sub you are thinking about. Three, if these questions don't apply. Post your question in the main forum.
  3. it's from the professional line.. go to cinema speakers to find them.. or look in the product archive. If you have the room and don't mind the flat black look, it should be great. But it's not up to the levels of JL Audio Fathom, SVS PB13U, or Velodyne DD Series subs..
  4. Amen for last minute booty calls! You better send her off well. In Savannah hit the anywhere around Congress st. for bars.. Go to Hunter Army Airfield. Just about any BBQ hut in NC, SC, and GA is worth eating at. I'd find some high end hi-fi shops along the route, and sample there wares. Major cites, DC, Baltimore, Richmond, Raleigh, Columbia...
  5. First, read your users manual. for your receiver AND your sub.
  6. I think it's quality control, and there are better subs.. read the hometheaterhifi.com review --- then the review mags are giving more to JL Audio, SVS, Earthquake, etc.. most end users want a small sub, and that is hard to do. I'll take a 8 cu ft subwoofer any day.
  7. I agree that the Epik Conquest was just about THE subwoofer.. but is there any insider report to new Klipsch Subwoofers? Notice the latest RT-12/10d have been discontinued. http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/archive/subwoofer/
  8. yeah, I almost want to take a pair of Klipsch's cinema subs and try them out. The internet always recommends Danley or SVS or Elemental Designs.. while as good as they are I am brand loyal and I want a pair of Klipsch Subwoofers to match my Heritage series loudspeakers See there is the Palladium Sub, the THX home subs, and the reference series subs, but no matching Heritage subs. At least take the Cinema subs and put an amp and a veneer on them an pass that as a sub.
  9. I know just about every one of your line-ups have subwoofers- minus the Heritage. I know there was no subwoofer back then. but has the thought crossed your mind?
  10. echo TNrabbits comment.. Go to harmanaudio.com and JBLpro.com read there white paper about room design and there take on multiple subwoofers.
  11. deeper? Like more Bass below 40Hz? or Louder?
  12. From the standpoint of a mutliple deployment Service Member, and currently deployed, I thought the movie was out-right terrible. The only redeeming factor is that the set was perfect. Absolutely perfect! Yes, that is what Iraq looks like. Someone sat around a listend to a bunch of disjointed stories from Soldiers and try to revolve it around 3 characters. If the director chose to use 3 different people for each of the unique scenes, then you might have a movie. I bet they thought of that, but realized that audiences like to attach themselves and atempt to identify with these 3 characters. Not to discredit my brothers in arms, somehow in some way, many of those scenes could have happened, but remember it's Hollywood. Lastly, I do hope it gives the American People one person's artistic impression of what could happen and the great risk of putting oneself in harmsway to make this world, not just our nation, a better place.
  13. Well, Lascala's aren't inexpensive. Good pair is about $800-1200 first generation. JBL pro speakers are fine and believe a welcome part of high-efficency, horn loaded history here on the Klipsch Forum. In Fact you can get a set of 4675C with the Massive bi-radial horn for less then a new Lascala II Anyways, LaScalas would be great for your plan. You have just about enough room to propigate the largest wavelength/lowest frequencies of audio. It's all about your budget.
  14. I feel that a few questions should be answered to develop this thread. What is the bass requirement for the La Scala? spec sheet from Klipsch indicates that is has a maximum output potential of 123 dB/m. I don't know the operating range. i.e. the rated frequency response -54Hz to 17KHz +/- 4dB. Is that what 123 dB covers?? If 123 dB is over the rated frequency response, then is the requirement 20Hz to 80Hz +/-3 dB with and average max SPL of 123 dB? I wouldn't discount any sub. when you double your subs you raise your output by 3 dB AND there is much research (see harmanaudio.com) to the use of multiple subwoofers. Sure you would need the appropriate amount, many, of subs from velodyne, klipsch or JL Audio. Still, a single or pair of subs meeting the Lascala Bass requirement is paramount with all other factors ( price, locations, Spouse, etc) and so far I think the Danely is a valid choice if it meets the Lascala Bass Requirment.
  15. I would also add that visually there are not many matching subwoofers. The Lascala, in today's speakers market, is HUGE and to me another mini fridge sized sub would look better than some small 12 or 15" sealed box sub. Then again if you could find 4, 6, or 8 subwoofers currently forsale and they may match the output and provide even bass in a small room. 4x$400= $1600 sub system. This is what is on my mind because I, also, am looking for suitable LF support for my system.
  16. Yes, exactly. i.e, you had a set of 5, RF-7 speakers and subwoofers connected to each channel. and then a 6 sub to the LFE channel. [ Ok, what if you had speakers that can play low bass? Most recording engineers are directed to send low bass to ALL channels and keep LFE specifically for Low Frequency Effects. (reference the forum sticky) Recording Engineers/ Dub-stage mixers have full-range control/ dub-stage monitors and a set of subwoofers for LFE. BUT By using subwoofers connected to the pre outs/speaker level of each channel, you preserve the low frequencies for each channel that the speaker cannot produce, and you can better integrate the subwoofer with the speakers via the subs low/high pass filter. This is not the preferred method, I could go on about how each crossover is designed specifically for each speaker in the system and trusting Bassmanagement filters or even a subs high pass/low pass filters to integrate seamlessly seems like crap shoot. In my findings the Studio doesn't use Bass management in establishing a disc soundtrack. However since most of us listen to playback on consumer gear, the soundtrack is validated on a bass-managed audio system to ensure that the bass translates properly to consumer gear. I am looking for users who adopt the standards of playback that the recording studios use. Standards are set forth in AES, SMTPE, and ITU papers referenced in the .pdf file on this thread Hope this helps explain my question.
  17. Given that multi-channel surround mixes for movies and music are full range for each channel and that most speakerers are un-able to reproduce the low frequencies... Why not use the pre-outs of a a/v receiver and use a subwoofers internal low pass filter AND drive all the mains with the internal amps making use of each channels low bass? Of couse a separate (bigger) subwoofer for LFE, too. For some reason, I fee that Bass management, or the use of most receivers internal filters would not integrate well at all. Look at it this way--- run the towers or bookshelf full-range and match the crossover point of the subwoofer with the speaker. Look at each channel having a 3 or 4 way speaker, make sense?
  18. Ed, you can also sell that 77 BR Lascala to me, if your wife ever thinks that it's too imposing. I wondered if anyone has made a "false" corner and used a 3rd K-horn as a center? P.S. Foxboro is where the speaker would go..
  19. http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/kpt-884-overview/ My suggestion for today is the Cinema subwoofers, add a powerful pro audio amp and a Velodyne SMS-1 ( Sub EQ ) But others have shared there opinion below.. http://community.klipsch.com/forums/thread/1096047.aspx http://community.klipsch.com/forums/thread/1096047.aspx
  20. Ugly ? Really ? Ehh , I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder . Or something like that . I wanted LaScala's for a long as was in this hobby, my highschool used the pro set for Sound Re-enforcement for there Jazz concerts, and when I actually got them an placed them in my room, they were HUGE! Not ugly, but certainly dated-- compared to what Klipsch offers today for main stream consumers. Still, when I put in some of my favorite music they were just perfect. Seemingly unlimited Ultra clean output. I like them so much that I tossed my plan to go professional studio monitors all around. Sound is big, dispersion control is important, and dynamic range is key. All Heritage speakers have those excellent qualities. 5 Belle or 5 of any heritage all around is just about the best thing going for music lovers.
  21. I recommend using a 3rd Lascala as a center and place your Screen on top of the center speaker, the compromise speaker is the Heresy III. Sides and rears.. Heresy III.
  22. Frequency range : 34 Hz - 20 kHz (-10 dB) Frequency response : 40 Hz - 16 kHz ( ± 3 dB) Sensitivity : 100 dB 1 W (2.83V) 1 m (3.3 ft) First glance, This is a great speaker! http://www.jblpro.com/catalog/General/Product.aspx?PId=75&MId=1 I feel that KPT 904 is a good match http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/kpt-904-specifications/ FREQUENCY RESPONSE 45Hz-19kHz ± 3dB, -10dB @ 32Hz SENSITIVITY 104dB Anyone with expirence with one or both?
  23. you mean the more volume you make the sub the flatter the response? Looks interesting, but you have to account for the skill level of the builder, time it take to build, tools on hand, and equipment to tune it.
