I used 1 1/2 inch on the four corners then i got 1 inch ones and put two towards the center about 2 inches apart.I think this has got to help keep that bottom board from vibrating.Whether it did or not, it dont now for sure,,,lol,,,and the sound is better for sure.....going to hook the HK up this weekend and watch some movies see how it sounds....listen close you might here them.......I got a Yamaha 1040 with 80 watts a channel and the HK seems like it beats it in the bottom end....both units are quite but the HK seems to do it with so little effort!!!!.Need to a-b test them it to tell more.But the little HK is one heck of a unit.....rick

I hooked my sons HK430 up to my La Scalas and put volume knob at 9.30 and this little thing kicked some bass out you would not believe.My son walked in and could not believe the HK was doing that and had to go check it.Andy is right this HK and some grippers will put you in audio heaven,wished i had some k-horns now..lol....my son is lucky i dont have any room for his HK in my stereo shelf.The Scalas with grippers on them were shaking the walls and pictures but my wifes nick nacks on top of them did not move...made them sound much tighter,deeper...and the HK was coasting didnt even get warm...i wished you guys could hear this set up....rick

yea i do have a link,,,,you link on down to wal-mart and buy them..lol....sorry just had to do that.....but try it they do make my Scalas tight,maybe the lack of base some say LaScalas have is not really a true statement,,,they might change thier mind if they heard mine,,,rick

i got those grippers like Andy said,,,,and they do work,,,i put them on my Scalas and they sound much tighter,my cornwalls did sound tighter before but know the Scalas sound better and the cornwalls sound muddy. going to put grippers on cornwalls next,i got 1 1/2 inch grippers for the corners and 1 inch grippers for the center of the base.if you have Scalas you need to do this,,,but like Andy says ,it helps all.i got mine on hardwood floor so the grippers really hook up to the floor good....its a cheap thing to try , wished i would have done it years ago.....if the house is rock"n dont bother knock"n....cause i wont hear you.......rick

yea call 864-839-6341....or wendellfabrics.com,,they sent me a nice sample book,,,they got the cane looking stuff to,,,,rick

dont do it man,,,,,they may cost 8000.00 but only cost 2000.00 to make...in 20 years they will be trash...and then you will wish you had half of that 8000.00 to spend on new hi tech stuff,,,,,just ask the guys who bought 2000.00 dollar cd players in 1983...lol...i laugh every time i see a cd player hanging at check out at wal-mart..those are 100 times better than those cd players from 1983 and cost 50.00 bucks.those 1983 cd players skipped if you looked at them wrong now you can jog with them even drop them and they dont skip.just a little advice...i have seen my 401k get cut by 70% and i wish i had some of that money i spent so foolishly when i was 18...live and learn but dont say we didnt tell you so....rick

im not real sure on this, but i think all lascalas were made the same except for the woofer.....hdbr may have to chime in on this to confirm but...i looked at some old idustrial specs i got and they are the same...rick

behind the grill it is painted black.....so maybe not a good idea,,,,i replaced mine with new grills from klipsch and made new trim i got pics of new trim if you want to see them....rick

hope all have a good one......and hope justin feels better.....hdbr son got hk430 opened up..have not hooked it up just yet but will soon, maybe i can get it hooked up to mine soon...lol.....well i got Pauls book am reading it like it was candy...lol...and some dvds....time for some db'S IN THE HOUSE LOOK OUT POLICE.....hope you all have a happy and safe one......rick p.s. i remember meeting PAUL like it was yesterday....strange how some things stick in your mind.....need i say we all loved him one way or another i hope he knew that......

i have both...LaScalas and Cornwalls,,,when i a/b them,LaScala sounds better,,,,but when i combine them both when watching dvds you cant tell them apart.....years ago when i was buying my LaScalas i A/B the Belles and the LaScalas,,,,,Scalas still sounded better in the voice department..that big squawker horn does it i think....if you want to come by and give them a listen come on by....rick tate

well i have my LaScalas about 12 feet apart toed in,next to them i have cornwalls facing straight,,,i sit about 10 feet from my 32 inch sony tv..12 year old sony at that,,,lol,,well the sony is young compared to my LaScala..lol.any way i dont seem to hear any thing wrong with my system,,,neighbors seem to think its a little loud sometimes.let me tell you the pearl harbor movie is just like being there,,,hehehehe...center channel i dont need no stinkin center channel....but sometimes the guys with badges do show up and say i can get in the center of the police car..lol...hey did anyone see that movie..ice age....fuuunnnyyy,,,sound was good to.....rick

i just finished one grill trim made with oak base shoe moulding,,,,looks great dont use 1/4 round trim,,, base shoe moulding looks better.looks exactly like i remember it did on newer LaScalas i saw years ago.the grill i got from Klipsch comes with new emblem and looks great....rick

K-HORNS--can handle anything,your ears may not though...lol...i listen to everything from metallica,stevie ray vaughan,james taylor,robert cray...its all goooooooood......to bad dealers dont carry heritage...went to dealer tuesday asked and they said...huh...dont even know what they are can you believe someone working in audio not even going to a web site of a speaker they sell....oh well maybe ill win the lottery and open a klipsch only store right next to a bose store would be fun huh...rick SHAKE THOSE BOSE CUBES RIGHT OFF THE WALL....HAHAHA...makes me sick seeing bose stores but when i look they are empty so thats good

hi guys i ordered new grills to...and called about the trim they say its 1/2 inch quarter round...i think 1/2 inch base shoe moulding looks better i havent seen any of the grills of late but right after i bought my La Scalas they changed the grill frame, i would like to have the newer frame,,,,,will have to make it i guess.i went to home depot bought some base shoe moulding will work on it this week end to see if i can make it look good.the last ones i seen ,,,,long time ago,,,looked like the grill cloth came up flush with the front of the wood trim,,,any one got these and can post a pic would help a lot of use with La Scalas...well thanks rick out p.s. KLIPSCH please get dealers to put hertiage in showrooms,,,people need to see and hear them

any one able to go look at these?see what kind of condition they r in....rick,,,,just listed on e-bay

well jim u didnt metion me but i like your posts to,,,,,we all need to get together some how in groups to talk and see each other.....that way we will know who ...we... are.i have tried to get a picnic set up kc,mo, area but no one responds,,,,the dealer here dont even know what heritage look like i think that is sad.if he dont have them and sell them soon they will be gone.... love all of you and like all the posts even the arguments are good but we should not hold grudges its not good ....everyone is different....for instance i like british cars,,,,i know hdbr likes bmw motorcycles...justine likes every thing..lol,,,,,,i have a lot of hobbies besides audio im sure we all do i just dont have the money to enjoy them,,,,,well have a good day and listen close you can hear paul laughing at us argue and him saying bull**it....rick out

well 90%of salesmen at my dealer have not even seen heritage speakers all they say they wont fit in here....come on.PAUL USE TO GO AROUND TO DEALERS WITH HERESEYS.i think my dealer wont carry them because he cant get them or afraid he wont sell other crap he has in the store.this store is big and should have complete line of klipsch......i say open a klipsch only store like bose has to show people what sound really is.....i would love to open a KLIPSCH only store in kc.mo. area.well thanks for letting me blow off steam...lol...rick
