I had owned my Cornwalls for about 10 years at that point and bought the La Scalas because I came across them for a really cheap price ($300/pair). The first problem I had with them is that my wife's first comment was "if you think you're going to have those things in our house, you're wrong." Well, they were really, really UGLY and the black finish looked like it had been applied with a broom! Perhaps if I had come across some Belles esthetic concerns woulnd't have been such a problem . . . Anyway, I was able to hook up the Scalas and listen for a little while and while I enjoyed them, they just didn't have the "oomph" in the lower bass registers I was used to with the Cornwalls. They didnt't go as low and were not as "clean." The mids and highs were very similar to the Conrwall sound. Another problem other than being UGLY and not having great bass, was that these things are freaking HUGE. I just couldn't seem to set them up in my room to get any kind of imaging at all, and my room is 17' x 28'!! So I sold the Scalas for a couple of hundred bucks more than I paid for them and didn't miss them at all. I know my experience is limited, but I thought I'd share it anyway. This is my first posting, my husband has a pair of lascala speakers that are 20 plus years old (excellent condition other than the fact that he blew the subwoofer and the tweeter in one and is having a really difficult time finding replacement parts......and although I am very much in agreement with other La Scala wives (UGLY!!!!) He is very attached to them, and I would really like to help him out and find him what he is looking for---can anyone help>
