Servo subs are awesome. I would be shocked if you craved more for music with that sub.

Nice purchase @Veaux

Best wishes to you and your family during this time.

The tiny little sub? It's a monster, enjoy.

I think you certainly can't go wrong with any of those. The Cornwalls Def need space and are quite large. The others are much more manageable.

I have heard GREAT things from engineers I used to work with about proarc speakers. Never heard a pair myself though. The Forte is a solid balanced speaker out of the box I would have to agree and think it will work quite well in the real world in many rooms.

@Schu, perhaps I can't read as well as you "public discussions concerning transactions or disagreements are not permitted. You must contact the seller directly." Seems pretty clear to me. I know it isn't to you.

I'll take your word for it Jim and contact you if I have said issue.

I guess when the pair in question I was looking to buy is done being refinished, I will have a little for myself and see if this is an issue. The only pair of ls scalas I have ever owned rattled and was obnoxious to me.

I'll keep the Walnut pair for now until I'm sure I want those LA scalas. I will go listen to them for myself when he is done building them and determine if there is a problematic frequency or not.

Haha that too.

Not that I couldn't make the trek..... JUST, do I want to.. . I HATE driving in California. I'll have to think it through. I'm sure they will sell quick. GLWS!

Easy 12 hour round trip.

That is helpful @kink56. Exactly what I have now. Don't feel like or have the tien to mod cabinets to solve issues. Not very skilled in the woodworking department either. Thanks.

Damn those are nice.... Too bad you aren't in socal...

Damn now you guys have me thinking I should just keep my Walnut Forte I that I love instead.... Just upgrade them...... Any thoughts on this?

As has been said many many times, the things you want are always across the US from you. In your case and mine as well, things are no different

Is this is an issue with most older LA scalas? When we say resonance, do we mean vibrating cabinets or irritating obvious peaks in certain frequencies? This is something I need to know before buying my pair as well. +1 of photos or links to fixes. Thanks

I'll send you a PM later when I'm free with what I think

Like you, unless I have as small a pair of speakers as heresys, I am unable to run a sub due to lack of space. I cheat in the low end by having my listening position against the back wall which surely boosts bass response by a minimum of 3, more than likely up to 6 dB I would guess. I can adjust for this by pulling the speakers away from the back and sidewalls. I suppose I trade some imaging for this, but I am very satisfied in that department as well. Even my Forte I OUTSIDE have bass that can be felt. I am quite surprised you felt a lack of bass response. In the past I had some ridiculous car audio systems and I am well aware of what INSANE, take your breath away bass is haha. I can vouch for the RF7 series having more bass. Of course, surface area of four 10" woofers.

Nice video. Sounds like you had a lot of fun making it. Your listening area Is much larger than mine and I'm sure contributes significantly to the difference in opinion we have on the RF7 series as a whole. As my room is much smaller than yours, the forte IIIs works considerably better in here but I do no feel I am sacrificing anything on SQ or output(the bass slam on these suckers is tremendous). I'm sure the rf7 can play louder and believe me I like to crank tunes from time to time as well. Anyhow, always fun to do a shootout and I believe you did a solid job comparing with what and how you were able to. Strong work.

+1 on B&K amps being a solid value and my go to for affordable used amps. Very smooth SS amps that are rugged and reliable.
