    Value of Lascalas / Belles?

    In my experience, the Belle and La Scala  definitely do not sound the same.  The Belle is not as dynamic and live sounding as the La Scala.  As far as floor space, the Belle is wider, but the La Scala is deeper.

     

     

     

    I've heard this from a few different people but I can say from my personal listening experience in my living room they sounded identical....

    The Belle uses the exact same components as the La Scala, sounds the same, takes up less floor space, and (arguably) looks better.  The KHorn (if you have the space for placement) is better but 9 times out of 10 people dont have the optimum placement location. The Belle demands a premium because it is aesthetically pleasing and less available.  And as a former La Scala and Belle owner I can tell you they sound the same but its an easy decision when WAF factor comes into play on which to get.  Also 20wpc is more than enough if you are in an average sized living room at 8-12 foot listening distances.  If you are further away or in a bigger house and wanting to listen at reference levels you may want a few more watts

    Monoprice Monolith 12" Subwoofer

    Could keep my dual dayton and crown amp BUT I am neither patient enough nor apparently smart enough to figure out mini DSP and multiple sub tweaking.  My Marantz SR7012 only has dual sub out for EQ so Im thinking ID or store bought subs so as to avoid manual calibration.  I realize im going to have to compromise somewhere as the room is less than optimal and my budget and placement options prevents me from getting it perfect...

    Price reduced

    Lower price - $4000 Happy wife happy life.....Too much stuff and have to downsize.  I didn't think I'd ever part with it but the day has come.  Used, like new McIntosh MC275 VI (from Audio Classics).  Have all original parts (including tubes). I am in Northern CA and would like local pickup but am willing to drive and/or ship if it makes sense.  Currently has Gold Lion KT88 power tubes and Electro Harmonix pretubes.  Asking $4000

    Just noticed those ARE NOT scratches on the transformers just dust.  I can send more detailed pics via text or email for interested parties.
