...they look like the speakers in the Foreman’s basement on “That 70’s Show”

I can’t believe the Liberals haven’t found a way to tax this forum yet...

My deepest sympathies

I am surprised no enquiring minds on here have jumped the gun on an H4 mod, yet... It would be no great feat to cut a rectangle for the port in the back of the cabinet and BAM... Roy’s your uncle! I was really leaning hard on the H3 conversion for my H2’s as well until this latest, greatest version came out. Now my horizon is cloudy on that. It is always time well spent, but all that cheese could go to better cables... LOL!

My 15 year old son recently told me one of his inspirational bloggers commented that if you were to produce anything nostalgic that has gone out of production it would make money. I bought “Thrills” gum not too long ago, for only the second, and last time in my life. “Gold Nuggets” gum was a hit with the kids though! I wonder if you could take out a drone with a Jet-Stream?!

...that seems like a pretty legit comment... lol

I have owned three pairs of Forte II’s and two pairs of Chorus II’s over the years, and a pair of Quartets, lol. In my listening rooms they ALL sounded best two feet or better from the back wall. Imaging “pops” without anything between your speakers too. Forte II’s were first across the doorstep and I thought my search had come to an end. Until I heard the first elusive pair of Chorus II’s. Forte II’s are a very well behaved, capable horn speaker. I got up to turn the bass down when I first brought them home only to find the tone control flat. My treble could “go to 11” and it still might not be enough for me though, for any speaker. Chorus II’s take everything you like about the Forte’s and do it better. I actually found them more “mellow” in comparison. Likely the result of the fuller bass coming from a 15” woofer. It all boils down to YOUR listening space. If you have room for Chorus II’s it’s a no-brainer. Here’s the thing. Higher efficiency speakers do not need to be pushed as hard as lower efficiency speakers do to engage you in the music. You just need a quieter room...

...for posterity, the one that got away!

Santana - Evil Ways Congratulations, and welcome to the forum. You may be late for work tomorrow, you’re gonna be spinning all your favourites every chance you get for weeks to come.

Woofers love watts

Up here, there are two official languages. Whenever you dial a customer service line you are requested to select one of the two. At that point someone who speaks neither answers...

Go big or go to another country, LOL! Buy a pair of LaScalas and when the time comes, turn them on their backs, slap on a 9.9hp merc, drop ‘em in the ocean and drive ‘em to your new home! Happy sailing!

Interesting stuff!

...joker...

@garyrc thank you once again for another comprehensive post. ...you left out the kitchen sink, LOL!

If I had to guess, based on a little toying with tophats and bass bins... Woofer location is critical, with respect to the location of the OTHER drivers. For the longest time I could not figure out why I preferred my stock ‘91 LaScalas over my modded LSI Splits. The space between the bass and the rest of the sound spectrum was too great at my listening distance. The rubber feet and extra cabinet height of the tophat made that much of a difference.

I pour hot water in my coffee mug to preheat it as well. ...I like a lot of cream in my coffee...

At first glance, I honestly thought this was a Robin Williams bit I had missed... I was already laughing.

Gentlemen, as always, thank you for your constructive input!

Ha, found the other post first. On the fence about doing this to mine. Even though it is reversible, I could be fishing... So what is the consensus on the mod? How many have left it in place, and how many have reverted to stock? Does it take away from the punch that sets a folded horn bass bin apart from rest?

It would be interesting to hear from anyone that has done this mod. And left it modded. I am on the fence about doing it to mine, even though it is reversible. I could be fishing instead... lol

Thin-Scalas? with NO low end and none of the imaging you are used to, Bose-Scalas?!

The Cornwall is the Corvette of speakers. An American classic that has stood the test of time and just keeps getting better. Way to go!
