Thanks so much for all the input. I am leaning towards building La Scalas with a raised base bin. I have been reading the threads on this topic. I would use 1" MDF plywood for the bins. Would it hurt to use 1" for all the parts if I keep all the inside dimentions correct to the plans. Can anyone add any other advise that would help before I start this quest. Thanks so much for taking to time to help me. Regards Matt

Hi, I am a newbe and could use so of your advise and wisdom. I herd a set of La scalas 28 years ago and told myself someday I will own a set of those speakers. I am in the wood manufacturing business with the skills and equipment to produce the cabinets for the La scalas or Khorns. I do realize the Khorns will be much more work. My gameroom is in the upstairs of my barn, it is 80 feet long and 28 feet wide with Catherdral ceilings, my amp and pre-amp are at one end of the room. I am using a macintosh mc2300 (soild state) from the seventies. I think Jerry used this model amp when he played with the Dead in the seventies. My pre-amp is a Conrad Johnson (Tube) . I do have corners for the Khorns if they are the best choice for filling this room with sound. Would hanging the La scalas up off the floor be a better choice? I have read many posts on this site and have enjoyed all of them. I have to admit I am in need of some help in picking the best speakers for this room. I listen rock from the 70's to present. I have never listened to Khorns just La scalas 28 years ago. I have no way to listen to these side by side. From the posts I have read here Khorns beat La scalas in most cases (if you have corners). I have Klipsch Forte II hooked up at this time. They do sound nice. I think the Khorns or La scalas will sound nicer. Are La scalas better for rock and metal? I have teenage boys, OK I like some Metal. If Khorns are my best choice could someone e-mail me a set of plans? ( my e-mail is lagoe@frontiernet.net) Thanks for your time and help. Matt
