I would say its rare.

Faster, cheaper, better, and easier to use is pretty hard to beat. I look at vinyl like old cars. You will always have people who collect them and even drive them. The old saying that they don't make it like they use to is just not true in this case. But I agree with the post that said they are all good if they make you happy.
Yes I agree with this. I also agree with dtel that its likely on its last legs. I prefer the digital medium.

Sounds like it could be the woofer. Get and ohmmeter, and measure the resistance of the woofer as well. A sure fire test would be to remove the woofer from the good speaker and put it into the one your having problems with.

At one point I thought the same thing...

Good point Claude. They take up roughly the same real estate, but spread out, they wouldn't be quite as intrusive also.
Having an HLS1802 inf your living room isn't intrusive...who said that...after all its only about 6x4x3.

nice clean result.

Mine says forum veteran, that doesn't mean I know a lot...I hope im not fooling you...

question, what effect would increasing the height of the la scala bin have on the sound? keeping all of the other dimensions except height.
-
So I've frankenstein'd together a different centre channel for now. La Scala bottom, 402, and a 510 three way. Sounds good, just not sure how I can build something with a clean look.

Many thanks for posting...saved.

Did you send colter a pm?

I got dibs on the Bose.

Internal volume of the following
total volume = 46746 inches cubed.
Is that the internal volume or the external volume of the cabinet? The internal volume of a 904 is right at about 15,600 cu in by the way...
Yes internal volume.
-
Fair enough, and good point. I'd like to find a way to incorporate the 402 for sure. I also though about a Belle bottom as well. If I remember correctly the Belle might have a lower profile than the La Scala?

Awesome thread!
But uh, where does one buy K402's? Klipsch or ?
I bought mine from American Cinema Equipment. ask for Spencer Chao.

Yeah, my problem is that I know what I need(yeah right...a need), but there is nothing around that will fit my space and needs...thus a custom build.

I would not use glue. I would use Scotch heavy duty double-sided sticky tape it is very robust.
When I did this, that's what I used.
Belle Bass section question
in General Klipsch Info
Posted
I have been thinking a little more about building a custom cabinet for a centre channel. I was looking at the belle bottom to see what could be done with it. I was thinking about a couple modifications to the bass bin to allow some horns to be installed on the face of the cabinet, ie a 510 and 703. the important pieces to this are obviously the horn flare. its easy to keep the same dimensions(I think). I've changed the bin a bit which will add more volume to the cabinet. I think that if needed I could reduce the internal volume of the cabinet to match the same as the original.
Thoughts, will this work? I would mount the 510 and 703 on the face of the newly modified cabinet.
