Hey guys got a few questions for you. I am considering purchasing a heritage setup with 3 la lasca's accross the front and possibly heresys in the rear (all lused with upgrades). tts been nearly 20 years since Iv heard a heritage setup and I was younger at the time. Iv had the chance to audition 3 of my buddies def tech setups and liked the def tech bp2000tl's the best. I went to my local klipsch dealer and listened to an rf83/64 setup powered by a marantz receiver and was very unimpressed for what it did for ht, although they were great for music but I dont listen to music in house. (have an ipod and a nice setup in my car for that) I do have found memories of what the how well that heritage setup sounded, it was when ac3 was first coming out and the system I listened to was powered by mac equipment.
Now I am curious to see how you guys feel a trio of la scala's accross the front compared to the rf83/64? I am building a dedicated theater room but it wont be done untill probably next year. For now my room is 12.5 x 24. These will most likly be powered by either an integra 40.1 or denon 3310 both with emo amps.
I am most curious to see if any of you have compared a la scala trio to the definitive technology bp2000's or 7000's with clr3000 center. To those of you who have had a chance to listen to both the def techs and the la scala's, what were your thoughts? How do they compare/differ? What I like in a ht are crisp highs, detailed mids, being able to run my front trio at a crossover of 60 hz, I like the overall envolipment in sound that I got with the def techs, good soundstage, ect.. I do like to listen to my movies loud, but I cant always do that b/c of neighbors so low to mid level listening must sound good as well.
So how would a la scala trio differ from an rf83/64 trio? Also can any of you current/former definitive technology guys give me your subjective comparision between the dt's and la scala's? Im stuck here with the fond memories I had listening to the heritage setup back in the early 90's and how much I really like the def tech setup. Advice? Comparisions?
