Do the Forte and the Heresy keep up with the Khorns?
-
I think I will try the clay route... I know there is also a paintable sound deadener.
-
8μf & 2μf 250V ±5%
Just one of each per crossover? I am asking because I haven't picked them up yet and I wanted to order the parts.
tia,
Ron

Ah, like these? I didn't realize they had both ported and sealed versions. Guess it's really more vented than ported.
Yup, that is the ones I am looking for... I've seen them from $500-700 a pair. That price would be great if I was local.
-
Does anyone know what the cap values are for replacing them?
-
I would go clear of the "Monster Cable" cables... I actually had one remove the RCA jack sleeve when I was removing the cable from my DTV HDPVR due to it being insanely tight.
-
Yes it is... The ones I am looking for are the ported ones... 101db with 1 watt.
-
I am waiting for mine too. Someone tested theirs and they hit 130db! Another person was getting 90db @7hz. This sub should be all I need for my LaScalas.
-
Most of the Heresy speakers around me have been going for $400-700. I only paid $500 for my LaScalas. Keeping my eyes open for the super deals!
-
Does the modeling clay fall off with time or does it stay intact forever (until you remove it). Do you have any pics of it after you put the clay on it? I wonder how many pounds you would need to do 1 horn in a LaScala....
-
How would these compare with Heresy 1s for use as surrounds and heights for a LaScala setup?
-
I think that is the same situation all over right now.
-
I am going to keep my eye out for more... Who knows maybe I will end up with a 9.1 Lascala setup! I am currently trying to sell my Paradigms to fund another pair of LaScalas.
I had a Paradigm 5.1 setup, but I sold it soon after I got my La Scalas, except for the PW-2100 V.2 sub. Then came a pair of Heresy IIs, then another pair, then a pair of Belles. A few months ago, I got a pair of La Scala IIs. Now the setup is 6.1, with 5 of the 6 speakers being LS or Belle, plus a Paradigm sub.
When I first thought of replacing the side surround Heresy IIs with La Scalas, the idea seemed a bit extreme, but for curiosity I put them in place and tried it out. The improvement was amazing! The side La Scalas are there to stay.
If you have a chance to go 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, or 9.1 La Scala, I'd say go for it!
What are the dimensions of your room? Mine could be as large as 23'x 17'.... I am not sure if I have the room for the LaScalas on the sides. Did you mount them up high or are they all ground level?
-
You won a Triax??? As in won (bought) on ebay won, or like in a contest???
Yup I won a BNIB Triax in a forum drawing and it is being shipped from PSA.
-
Yeah I just noticed that too.

I have someone coming over Wednesday to pick up my Paradigms. I won a PSA Triax sub, which should be here in a few weeks. The PSA sub is one of the main reasons I switched to the Klipsch LaScalas, plus I owned a pair back in 1979 and loved them. The Triax sub has a 4000w continuous rating and 8000w peak. Some of the people have seen 130db, and some have seen 90db at 5hz! I will keep my eyes out for all LaScalas then. I might be able to afford it if I can get some killer deals like I did on the 3 I currently have.

Cool! Post a pic when you can. You can probably sell the Rodgers amp to recoup some of the cost.
Bruce
I gave it to a friend of mine who has been doing all my electronics repairs for years for parts only. He thought it looked like a nice amp so I said you can have it.

Ron,
What horn do you have? The 400 or the 401? If it is the metal horn, you can place a small bag filled with sand on the top side of the horn flare. Won't hurt anything and it would help to damp any ringing on a large portion of the horn. Or put in a bag of ball bearings. Any mass to damp the horn. You find out quickly and easily if it makes a difference and it's easily removable.
Bruce
Hi Bruce, I have the 400 horn I believe (it is aluminum). Sounds like a good little project to try out! Thanks.
-
Ooh... thanks for the clarification.
-
Is that going to be big enough for a LaScala? If it is foam... Won't it tend to compress, which could cause the LaScala to become unlevel? I would think the feet would be better for isolation.
-
Good info... I guess I will leave the horns alone then. Maybe when I can afford it I might try the wood horns to see what they do to the sound.
-
I have a question as to the splitter dimensions in the LaScala or (Belle) loudspeakers.
I have a 1975 Factory built LaScala and the splitter is not that small. I can look into mine with a mirror and it is about 1 1/2 inch tall, and wider than the 3 inch slot. Perhaps 4 to 5 inches.
Have there been changes to these dimensions thru the years? chris
My 1978 LaScala is a one piece cabinet... You have a 2 piece cabinet? I thought that was something that was on the newer LaScalas.
-
Sure you could....but you might have to move to Florida.
Ooh... So you can take advantage of the senior citizens. LOL
-
I think it all comes down to inductance and resistance and shielding if near a TV or a power cord. I am going to just make a set of wires... I am going to try the twisted pair with another twisted pair over them (going the opposite direction), put some sheathing on (purely for looks). and call it a day.

Where do I get the gaskets?
