As I'm slowly building a Heritage Home Theatre I came into a problem.. none of the Heritage speakers is suited to be mounted. As the heresy is the speaker that has the lowest mass, I was wondering if there is any way to make a DIY speaker which uses the heresy mid/high range drivers (K77 and K-55M as they are the same as the ones in the LaScala), but utilises a (much) smaller woofer and cabinet. This to reduce the weight drastically. I would cross them over @80 or 100hz to make this possible. I'm hoping that by doing this I can also reduce the required panel thickness, as it would never have to endure the lower frequencies as the normal heresy would. For crossover I would go active.
Any thoughts?

Hahah wow, 12 bins ö! I'm planning my own LaScala DIY build, but I have not found a really detailed build plan, so if you can help me with that would be awesome! Also, is there maybe an 18" LaScala build? If not, what would the lowest crossover point that you can have with the K55M? I have sub that can go up to 300hz, but the crossover point is 400hz normally. Have not decided on buying the K-4M, but good to know about the LaScala bassbin/midrange ratio
thanks!

Yeah, ok I figured that it was not a right fit... but good to know! Might buy the adapter on the cheap, keep it around and maybe if I ever decide to start on my PA project use it when I find a way to match the lower outputs. Thanks for the info!

No enough space in what sense? If I make a DIY LaScala I could take the physical dimensions in considerations ofcourse. And I will definitely buy them all. I can use them for future projects!

Advantages: VERY high output, efficiency and power handling.
Early K-55-Vs/PD5-VH can safely respond down to 110 Hz and up to 4500+. Four would have quite high output in the voice range, if the horn were big/long enough. You might be able to warn 2 neighborhoods of an approaching tornado!
Well the guy is offering me to sell the adapters + 8x K-55M drivers... was thinking about building a LaScala pair for PA use (to complement my 2x huge 18" hornloaded subwoofers). This might do the trick
would it have any advantages in the home settings? Lower distortion? Higher clarity? etc. Also, would I need to use more tweeters? And what kind of horn would I need? would the regular K-401 do the trick?

Hey
Somebody proposed to sell me a pair of K-4M adapters. I have not found much info about them, so thats why I'm asking here. I know it is an adapter to put 4x K-55M midrange compression drivers on, which you then can put on a horn. I just dont know which horn, and what the advantages would be. Could I DIY a truely awesome LaScala with it? Or will it only increase the possible SPL and sensitivity?

thanks!

Nah, more like a totally new cabinet with a 6" woofer and really small size cabinet (like max 8" x 1 ft.) and the horns mounted above it. Crossover would be able to happen as high as 100hz to compensate for the loss in low end due to the small woofer and cabinet.
