We are going to disagree here Bruce Jr
6 minutes is enough time for suspensions to loosen up
Point me to a JBL or Altec bulletin on " break in*.
Break in is real. As long as you take the time to use your ears and that thing between them.-

Low E on a 4 string electric bass is 41 hz
With a 50 hz cutoff on LS Where does that lead ??
You come across as someone who’s never even heard this speaker.

Perhaps the OP is expecting BASS from said speaker It's not gonna happen. 😀😀😀
If you don’t believe lascalas have bass I can show you different in a minute. Now if you want to listen to pipe organ, keep looking. But to say that LS has no bass is an ignorant statement.-

Except for that bottom feeder that was used as a PA speaker. That one is pure sh*t....

Lascala II with dual subs.

Just curious, but like what?
I've had speakers that image better, with better soundstage depth. Not a huge deal breaker for me though. And a couple had deeper and more controlled bass. But none of these speakers could be driven with a handful of watts.

AL5's
Ok, makes sense. I point the finger at break in time.

I get the impression that we are overwhelming the OP with all our well-intentioned tips, providing information that doesn't quite align with what he states in his opening post.
"The vocals are not forward and magical as they used to be. The sound stage is great. But it almost feels a bit too clinical and lacks some warmth. And yes the low end of the bass also is bothering me"
I never did get the confirmation that these are AL5s. In his OP, he says "new lascalas". Well that could be "new to him".
So if indeed they are brand spanking, out of the box new, then more break in time will most likely cure his issues.

I've owned over 30 different speakers in the last 25 years. These were probably the last ten I've had that weren't Klipsch.
Spatial Audio X3
Reference 3a Grand Veena
Green Mountain Audio Continuum 3
Wilson Audio Sophia
Piega P10
Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE
PBN Montana EPS3
PBN Montana SP2
Magnepan 3.5r
Silverline Sonata II
Most of these were very good and brought some things to the table that horns don't. But at the end of the day, the immediacy and dynamics of horns win. For now.....

What you heard is not indicative of the CW IV. Not even close. But they do take quite a few hours to break in.
I heard the original lascalas years ago in two different rooms. The first time I was pretty impressed. My buddy bought the pair but never could recreate that magic in his room. I owned CW IIs and much later the IVs. Huge difference in performance. I now own LS IIs and from memory they are better than earlier versions. They directly replaced the Cornwall IVs, so I know it was an upgrade there. Not huge, but still worth the cost and effort to me. Actually the cost was zero since I sold the cornwalls for the same money I bought the LS II for.
What I guess I'm saying is that if it's between the original lascalas and the CW IV, the choice becomes less clear for me. The CW IV is that good. I would suggest trying to hear a pair with at least a couple hundred hours on them in a good room. And if you are lucky, try to score a pair of LS IIs. They don't seem to come around very often though.

And there it is. Your class is oozing out of you.I’m well aware of the history of the LaScala. But leave it to a knucklehead like you to point it out in a negative light. Some would say that all horns are good for nothing but public address systems. Too bad you couldn’t rise above.

You’d have to be playing at insane levels to clip a 30 watt amp into Cornwalls. I have used 10 watt amps that would play at 100 db peaks.

See. You can learn all sorts of new things on the Klipsch forum.

Not sure if you have CW IVs or earlier models. But the IV is indeed very close to the lascala in midrange performance. The bass of any cornwall will go deeper than the LS, but as schu points out, the LS has greater bass quality. You should tell us what version of each speaker you have.

Anyway, had a great night on the punt last week
This is where you lost me........

My guess is that it's an electronics issue and not a speaker issue. As mentioned, swap channels. That's always the first line of troubleshooting when an issue is isolated to one speaker.

Hope so, but there's always an option of adding a sub if needed, especially if I end up using it for movies as well as music. Do you find you need a sub listening to music only? What kind of music are you listening to?
Mine is a music only system in a room dedicated to that venture. I don’t believe in dual purpose systems, but that’s a conversation for another day.
I listen to just about everything. Once you have a sub dialed in, there’s no need to switch it off for any genre of music. It will do what it needs to do when called for. And nothing when it’s not. Now for movies you might want to have a different setting.The problem I have found with many systems with subwoofers is the owners think they must hear what they paid all that money for, so you “hear” the sub on every track. Those are the systems that sound better when you just turn the darn thing off.

I use a pair of subs with my LS IIs. But they are completely listenable without them. It sounds like they might work fine for you sans subs.

Welcome to the forum. Lascalas are great, no doubt. I'm not sure if you've done your homework on this yet, but you will hear some people tell you they have no bass. Of course that's a huge exaggeration. They don't go very low, but the bass they have is top notch. Very good with kick drums and bass guitar. Don't expect much below 50 hz, but on some things you'd never know if you didn't measure.
Anyway, welcome to the forum and good luck with your search.

If your wife can put up with it, we can. Adds just a little bit of "cool factor" to the room.

Looks decent for the money. I just wish they would omit the bluetooth and USB and put that $$ towards improving what a TT is supposed to do. Spin records.
But then it probably wouldn't appeal to the demographic they are trying to reach. The mainstream Joe Public and the younger generation. Both of whom have never owned anything other than an iphone for music.

Troubles with the sound of my new La Scalas
in 2-Channel Home Audio
Posted
Explain this one. New speakers don’t sound good. Leave them in a room playing 24/7 for weeks. During this time they aren’t listened to. Come back after several hundred hours and they sound very different. How did you acclimate to the speakers if you weren’t even in the same room all this time?
This isn’t a hypothetical, it happened to me with Von Schweikert speakers in the mid 90s.
