A courtesy PM that notified me that they were closing it, and why would’ve been helpful. Especially for future discussions (at least on my part). I’m completely new to this type of censorship on this forum. We’re discussing a 1978 speaker that somehow still has relevance. To me that is great publicity of their products.
I can’t think of one possible negative thing that could come of that.

Thought it was a good discussion and helpful to the OP
Oh well; the Klipsch Gestapo killed it (again).
Really getting very tired of this "new approach."

Are they OK with us talking about other speaker brands?

I ask questions about my klipsch speakers…. I can’t for the life of me understand how that would ever be an issue (unless people are fighting, and speaking inappropriately to each other about it). What am I missing?

I do believe a non-Klipsch modification was posted along with a word George Carlin might have said in his 7
dirty word list - Cr-tes. All of which is verboten!!!
Can’t they just delete the post, and warn whoever it was that posted it?

Clearly I have missed the boat on the new procedures.

What new playbook?

Someone had mentioned about it being taken down in the thread….. anyone know why they would take my thread down about a 510 and a La Scala?
-
I sent Crites an email…..still waiting to hear back on what they might come up with.

Since you will be using these with passive crossovers, you may want to specify 8 or 16 Ohms
8ohm right?

Thanks.

For me it's all about the sound. Like I've said before you can always make up some BS like " that came from Frank Zappa's studio rig" for some tired looking LS Splits.
Thanks! I just remembered my La Scalas used to belong to Roger Waters 😃.

It would be cool if they went a little more in between the pro line, and Heritage. What I mean is Heritage speakers are really expensive (to my pocketbook anyways) if you buy new, and the pro line is an unfinished product at best (I would take performance overlooks but I think I’m in the minority). I guess I mean not something quite as beautiful as a heritage, but something a little bit more upscale than a behind the screen pro line finish speaker.

My recollection is since this is a constant coverage horn, it needs a certain equalization that your K400 doesn't use (or vice versa?). As such, unless the passive is designed to accomodate this for the horn, you might be driving a Ferrari....but only have access to 1st gear (may not be getting all the performance available)
Bad analogy...because if I was forced to drive a Ferrari, I'd probably WANT to be in 1st gear, driving nice & slow so everyone gets a good chance to see who's driving. (unfortunately, it would probably be my wife driving, therefore getting all the stares while they're all thinking "who's that moron she's with???")
oh well...
The passive crossover in the 904 worked great with the 510…..clearly this wouldn’t work with the 800hz xo, but is there a passive crossover like the 904xo that might work? I know you guys are all about the active, but unfortunately I don’t have pre outs which even more complicates it.

Has anyone ever tried to run both mid and high horn wires from the xo to a 510? Or is this idea just a complete disaster?
-
The sides of the room where the La scala sit is the lowest part ….I think I could put 510s on top of them, and be enough room but that will be about it.

How big is your room and how high is your ceiling.
The room is pretty big but it’s an attic the top is maybe 7 feet and then it gets shorter after that.

What are your guys opinions on if I ran a passive crossover, and then run Dirac live calibration? Is it possible that the calibration program would handle some of the issues that the active crossover fixes. Maybe I’m missing the biggest issues with the active versus passive for this situation?

I have (tried) to mate K-510's to Forte's (w/DSP). Never got it right; the horns just blew the Forte's away, making them sound like cheap bookshelf speakers
A previous post mentioned good success with a Chorus. Never owned any LaScala's, so I cannot predict how well the K-510's would "mate" with them - but pretty sure it is a much better pairing than with Forte's
BTW, had the 510's down to 500-550Hz, which I believe is about the minimum they'll take.
Also had K-510's on my KPT-904's crossed at the passive 904 xover of 850Hz. Sounded excellent, but wanted a "bigger" horn - just like you. Since I did NOT have room for 402's, I bought some JBL 2384 horns, with JBL 2451H drivers. Horn may be too big for LS's as it is 30" wide. Chopped mine down to about 25-1/2" making them fit (with a box) perfectly on the 27" wide KPT's. Don't think you can cut those JBL's further down (to match LS's) as one gets "into" the curvature. But ... the improvement over the 510's was drastic
Good luck
Wow you have done a lot since we talked back when you got your 904s. If it’s not to much trouble you should shoot me a PM picture of your new set up.

My findings and your statement on the “game changer” of 2” inch exit drivers ie K691/510 continues the theme of the dominance of Klipsch Professional to their consumer line. Along with openness, detail, accuracy I’ll add effortless -
We’ll put… totally agree! There is a ignorance is bliss factor though I think…..not to many people ever experienced pro line in their house. So it’s hard to miss it if you never had it.

I have the k510/ k-691 combo in my Chorus II's right now and they are a game changer, nothing I've heard in the "home" end of Klipsch speakers really compare. The 510 with the 2" exit driver seems to combine the best of the Tractrix horn with big, openness and the pointed detail and accuracy of the exponential horns. My favorite thing about this top end is how detailed and full they sound at very low volume, find myself perfectly happy listening at sub 70db most of the time.
Do you run active crossover? How do you hook it up to your Chorus (The wiring and everything I mean)?
My thread is gone?

The La Scala is a fantastic speaker as it sits nothing done to it. The point of doing mods for me is because it’s fun lol. I have always said building, and talking about a system is more fun than using it even.
