So after spending an evening listening to some classical music on my friend's Chorus II's, I can see that my Scalas sure are lackluster in their bass performance. Not a big deal--just want my symphonies and jazz trios to reach those lows.
I was wondering if any of you have some recommendations for subwoofers that work well with La Scalas. I don't want to break the bank--something around the $500 mark. The space is reasonably sized--around 20 x 14.
Any of you LS owners have budget subwoofers that are good for 2-channel listening?
On a related note--I'm totally clueless when it comes to powering subwoofers. I'm currently just powering the LS speakers with a Marantz 2230. I imagine this means I need to purchase an amp especially for subwoofers as well? Can I use a preamp signal from the Marantz to another amplifier just for the subwoofer?
Any insight would be helpful and appreciated!

Were the listings for the same price?

My folks live on the west side--about 40 minutes away. My high school girlfriend lived in Kirtland--beautiful area!
Looking forward to the pictures.

I've seen Chihuly installations a few times. I always think it's going to be kind of silly, but in person it looks remarkable.

No affiliation and no pictures. Could be a deal.

So my buddy bought these. He lives pretty close to the area and was able to snag em'.
Saw them tonight and they are indeed beautiful--only a few marks on the top that can be fixed with ease. And good golly do they sound awesome!
Can't wait to hear more from these!

I'm a high school Ethics teacher... if any of you are familiar with the myth of Sisyphus.

Jealous is too weak a word.

The fact that I can feel it under my feet standing 15 feet away is not a great sign for my poor neighbors.

Mine are 80's, have a look for yourself in my gallery.
It won't let me look at them. It says I don't have access to your gallery photos. Is this 'cause I'm a newbie?

They're 1980s--would that be the pie or the laser logo?

Let's see the grills on your LS!
Here you are! These are formerly Opus2k9's Scalas, just a little cleaned up and with new grills!

Hey all,
I'm still pretty new here, but I thought I'd pass this along. I have seen several posts about finding speaker grills--and I myself was in the market for grills for my La Scalas. I found a guy here in Chicago who made them for me. They turned out great! (He used the Bob Crites Cloth I got from ebay to make them).
The company is called Broken Press Design and you can find them here: http://brokenpressdesign.com/.
Here are the grills they made me:
Anyway, when I went to pick them up he had some AMAZING midcentury modern furniture that he had designed himself--mostly for amps, vinyl, and CD storage. He apparently also does custom work and has an Etsy page. Seriously cool stuff.
I was so excited just looking at this stuff, I thought I'd share!

My buddy and I have been drooling over these on Craigslist for a while. The upgrades are great--love the veneer! Would bite if it weren't for some major purchases recently. GLWS.

Now, to figure out where I can hide this from the lady.

Mercy! Finally! Sorry about the size.
No before photos, but some happy ever after pictures!

First entree into tubes. I have a pair of Heresys and La Scalas, so I'm eager to try these out.

Can post pictures once I figure that out. It keeps telling me that my flickr photos are an "extension" that is "not supported by this community."

I have used Restor A Finish and the Feed-n-Wax on a pair of beater La Scalas I picked up. Man, what a difference! They look great.
I started with super fine steel wool (0000) and denatured alcohol to clean them, then used the wool again with the Restor A Finish. Followed it up with the wax (applied with cloth) and boom! They look spectacular!
It's not a cure all, though. Deep gouges can be colored, but are noticeable in harsh light. Still, it's pretty remarkable for a quick fix.

I'm curious! Please PM me! (New here and figuring this thing out). Would love to see some pictures.
Subwoofer Recommendations for my La Scalas

I guess I misspoke. The room is 20' x 14'. I'll find room for the subwoofer.
Any thoughts on the table tuba?
