@Islander a false wall has been on my to-do list for a while (it's a long list lol). I check the Habitat for Humanity store every now and then for a good used solid core door I can cut down, but so far haven't found the right one. Wouldn't likely quite be 4 ft wide though. I've thought about building full false corners on all 4 khorns, but that's likely way overkill and probably would not pass the WAF.

I have since aquire a set of Belles so now I'm needing 3 ES5800s and 1 ES500, though I may be willing to part with one if I find 2. It might be a long wait though.

Bump, still on the lookout!

@jvs1670 I'm glad my center channel LaScala's neglected brother found a good home and is getting the attention it deserves! Great work on the restoration, it looks fantastic! Maybe one day I'll restore mine, but I'm fine with the scars from high schoolers for now. I have khorns for rears and the sound is heavenly. I can't imagine needing to add a dedicated sub (nor is there anywhere to put it haha).

My mains are Klipschorns. It sounds amazing!

I have a 75 inch TV mounted above my LaScala center. I just got an articulating wall mount and have it pulled flush to be even with the front of the LaScala.

Also a thing to note is that I don't think there is a place for the RF7s once we move. I've already been told no towers in the living room in the new place 😞. The home theater there will be the large heritage speakers and I'll have to find places for the other heritage speakers in the non common areas (I don't want to sell any haha)

I was in an apartment when I first got the RF7s. Luckily my upstairs neighbors seems to be absent the majority of the time I was there and I had my bedroom in between my living room and the neighbors for an air gap. I put my sub on an outdoor timer which turned it off every night and back on in the morning.

I have actually finished acquiring the speakers for my dream setup and hooked it up in my living room this weekend (speakers took about 2 years to aquire but still needs the proper house for it though haha). 4x Khorns for front and rears, LaScala center, and 2x Belle sides (not hooked up yet do to room size and window placement). It dropped my jaw like nothing the RF7s ever did! Set to full range and no sub. I couldn't even tell one was missing. Tested it with Lord of the Rings and Fury Road and one of my few SACDs (I will be getting more of those!). Everything was just amazing! Even just Bilbo's relatives knocking on the door made me think the neighbors were pissed off and coming to complain haha!

For the home theater room, it's a weird room. The front is perfectly sized to fit a 135" screen with the RF7s to the side and the RC64 just under the screen on a 14 inch riser. After about 8 feet back, it opened up a bit wider (like 4 feet) where the garage door is. The whole room is sunk down about 2 feet from the main level. In the back it's open to the main level with a railing and 4 steps, then a fireplace on the other side that juts into the room 3 feet (very annoying for speaker placement). My rear RF7s can't be aligned evenly, the one in front of the fireplace is right next to the couch and the one next to the stairs is back about 4 feet from it. The main problem is that I don't really have room. I do already have both a pair of RS62-IIs and RB61-IIs I could try from the previous setup. They would probably actually work better for that room. Selling the rear RF7s on their own might be difficult though since they are mismatched and were damaged returns (one walnut, one black, both with dents in the wood in the back but function normally). Would still need to find a place for the academy and Chorus IIs in that case.

No affiliation. Seems like a really nice late model Belle. https://www.ebay.com/itm/134609919058?mkevt=1&mkpid=2&emsid=e90001.m43.l3160&plmtId=700008&mesgId=3024&mkcid=8&ch=osgood&bu=43126147563&trkId=8ff1024b-a9a8-43e3-b770-bde9e45c6b1d&cnvId=700003&recoId=134609919058&recoPos=1

I've over acquired speakers. Currently my home theater has 4 RF7-II towers and an RC64-II. It's a bit cramped in the back since I moved houses from the original setup. I was wondering if I would be giving up anything by selling that setup and replacing it with Chorus II fronts, an Academy center, and Heresy II rears which I already have but don't have a place for? This will be almost exclusively for home theater use.

I'm looking for a single ALK es5800 (or 2 of you have both) crossover network for my center channel LaScala to go with the es500 I already have for it. Any help tracking one of these down would be greatly appreciated!

Seeing the success of the previous thread poster acquiring parts for some LaScalas, I have been inspired to go on the same quest. I recently found a beat up LaScala cabinet and need all the internal components minus the crossover (I'm all set there). I would like to keep the budget low and match my other LaScala's components as much as possible (built in 1977 I believe. I'll go get the serial number later)

I'm very interested! PM sent

They appear to have been posted to eBay. eBay Belle link

Man, if only those were in Colorado! I've been trying to find a pair for years for a decent price.

Sure thing! I'm pretty swamped right now as well but could probably make it there in a couple weekends. Gives plenty of time to get things dialed in and change your mind lol

I'd be interested though it would be a couple weekends before I'd be able to venture to Longmont. Would you be willing to bring these to Littleton? I could help you return them to stock as well, that way you could try them out in that configuration before you decide to sell them. Either way, I'd have no hesitation purchasing them.

Oh nice! That saves a lot of effort for mounting then. I had 4 AW-400's mounted on the ceiling in my previous place, but they never really felt like the sound matched at all. I had to cut some mounting blocks for those to angle them right and still hit the joists. I wish I had known about these RSX's back then! This is a picture of the prior place. It was a much better room for home theater.

I think I'm convinced (not that I needed much convincing lol). Here is my setup. I plan on putting them either slightly behind the listening area or directly on either side of the couch, both options would be on the ceiling. There is a wooden support beam about 5 feet behind the listening area, but I think that will be too far back. I do have some in ceiling speakers I could install as well, but I don't really want to go that route. Any suggestions for mounting brackets?

How do you mount these for Atmos? I'm interested in doing the same and interested in these speakers as a result.

Do you know if this preprocessor will pass 4k HDR10 content or is just normal SDR 4k?
