B&KST-140 amplifier. B&K Pro 10 preamp. My first quality combo. I still have them and many other B&K products. Really like them.

Make sure you listen to the La Scala’s before you make up your mind. I bought a pair about 6 months ago and now that’s all that gets listened to.

Klipsch heritage speakers are worth what you’ll pay for them. Your Hersey pricing seems to be the going rate for 1’s Usually see Forte 2 in good shape going for $800.

I would go with the Forte 2 over the Quartet. I think they just sound better/bigger.

Not much has changed for me. Still working. I live in the country so we can walk for miles without seeing anyone. I would have a hard time if I lived in the city.

Blundstone #500’s at home. Redwing Iron Rangers at work.

Daughter and I watched 28 Days Later last night. Probably not the best choice of movie under the current circumstances, but really made me question how our society would react in a major disease outbreak.

Dave, Believe me, if I could fit Super MWM’s in my house that is the route I would go.

Those are my speakers. I bought them to downsize from Chorus 2 in my living room, but I got used to the La Scala’s sound in my shop. Would love to find a set of LS2 for my house now.

Very nice looking speakers. Seems like most older Cornwalls I see always have cabinet damage.

I’d like to report back since I’ve had a few weeks to listen to the LS1’s now. I really like them. If I used one word to describe them it would be realistic. They are very clear and can play very loud. I love the bass. Sounds totally different than the Chorus. It seems a little cleaner and have yet to hear it get muddy. I would still have a very hard time picking between the two. Both are just great speakers.

His tweeters are in them and they are braced up pretty good. AA crossover with new caps. They are really nice looking speakers.

I listened to the LSI’s all day. They sound fantastic. I got on a Grateful Dead kick and probably listened to five albums. I tried to crank them up, but couldn’t get much past a quarter volume. All the folks that said they could get loud were not joking. I couldn’t be happier with the decision to get these. They are better than what I expected after hearing some of the complaints. I would agree that a good horn loaded sub would really pair well with them, but on their own, they put out good accurate bass. I’m not sure I’ll build one or not.

I agree with that.

I haven’t ruled one out. I can see where it would be beneficial. I just don’t want to take away the realness of the sound and horn loaded subs are big.

I will say, they haven’t been placement sensitive. I haven’t touched them since I hooked them up. I do appreciate that. Live music just sounds awesome. I’m not an audiophile, so I can’t really put it in words. I’m just blown away by them so far.

Bass is totally different than the Chorus 2. Actually the speakers in general are totally different. You can’t really compare them.

Haven’t been able to turn them up yet. My little boy has been out here with me. Don’t want to trash his hearing. I can tell they will play really loud. Can’t wait.

Pipe organs. Which I’ve really never listened to. Pretty cool.

I like the bass. Not as deep as I’m used to, but not as lacking as I was expecting. Limited listening, but for now, I’m not getting a sub.

Man, ain’t that the truth! I’ve been off work since Dec. 19th and today was by far the highlight of my vacation. That’s not even taking in account the short time I’ve listened to the La Scala’s since I got them hooked up about an hour ago. Dave is a top notch guy. Had a good time with him. I could have stayed all night listening to Klipsch if I didn’t have a 4 hour drive to get back home. Thanks to everyone for all the good advice and especially to Dave for welcoming me into his home. Like I said I’ve only got to listen for about 30 minutes so I’ll give you an update on what I think about them. It’s getting late and I’m tired. So far A++.

Dave should charge admission to listen to the mwm’s. They are very serious!

The Chorus 2 also has great chest impact. I’m going to go listen to the La Scala’s tomorrow. I hope I like the sound because it’s a 4 hour drive. Also, Dave seems like a cool guy so I’m interested in talking with him as well.

Sorry, I’m terrible with posting pics.
