    I hope you are doing well and staying healthy. Sounds like a marvelous amp, too.

     

    We are heading into some tough times with the virus encircling the globe. Time to stay in and listen to music.

     

    I'm in love with this amp...

    I think that his "Semplicity" is awsome.

  3. Ciao a tutti!

     

    thx. Everything is ok, I'm healty and all my family is ok fortunately. Really tough period...

     

    I hope you all are in good condition and healty.

     

    The only problem for me is that I'm not in my home in Milano but in the Mountains (Alagna Valsesia) so... no klipsch here... But in this period to be here is a big luck.

    Cristiano,

    I had a nice pair of LaScalas that I powered with a wonderful pair of 2A3 monobloc amplifiers. They were a magical pairing. Due to finances, I had to sell the LaScalas, and have regretted it ever since. However, I found a very beat up pair of LS with all the wrong parts inside, but acquired them for $100. It took me about six years, but I got replacement parts (Klipsch K-33 woofer, the K-400 midrange horn and driver...). The tweeter is an Eminence APT50 with an Eminence horn. I still had my original crossovers. Connecting back up to my 2A3 amps, the magic is back.

     

    I have also powered them with a modified Crown D-45 solid state amp (around 25 WPC) that give my 2A3 amps a real race for which is better. I have hauled them out to use at a party/dance and used a larger Crown xli800. They worked great for that, too, even in a room of 167 sq. meters, 7 meter ceiling and 100 guests.

     

    Almost any amp you use should work fine and long as it is a clean sounding amp. Whatever your ears like!

    All true! 

    With the AA Maestro 150 you have more low frequency but at the end I prefere the 2A3 sound. More equilibrated and refined.

    I Will try the el34 integrated amp next month that could be a good compromise.

    Looks great so cut it loose and enjoy!  Welcome to the Forum!  :)

     Thx!! Grazie!

     

    I'm trying to compare 3 different kind of integrated amplifier:  Audio Analogue Maestro (SS 150w) Unison Research S6 (Single ended el34 25w A class) and Tektron TK2a3/45SI ref ( 2a3 3,2w).

    Toe in to a triangular listening position and something on the glass (left speaker)to keep the sound waves from reflecting off will go a long way.

    Unfortunately there Is no space now. It seems that I have take measures of the loudspeakers three Years ago when I did some works... But in the future I'll move the Window and It Will be Better.

    Thx

    Hi Cristiano

     I have had my LaScalas in the house for a little over a year. I'm still smiling, and no subwoofer. They're kickass speakers/

    I'm smiling too! Finally I'm enjoing music and not thinking how to improve or change the cables!

  8. Ciao Rudolphe, 

     

    Next time you'll be in Milano send me a message and I'll show you the La Scala!

     

    All the works on the loudspeakers seems to be made by the fabric. In every case All Is done in perfect way.

     

    I paid 2.5. For me Is a right price. I've seen from 3.5 in worst conditions.

    I like the belle style, that All Is original and the alnico components...

     

    I Will change capacitors buying from Crities and I'm not planning to add a sub. I had b&W, Sonus Faber and Opera loudspeakers and, for me, the bass section now Is Better. A lot better, so... 

     

    Hope to meet you in Milano!

     

    Ciao,

    Cristiano

    Yes welcome...how are you pleased with their sound...

    Ciao,

     

    La Scala ara in my house since 6 days.

     

    I'm really pleased and surprised. 

    I can't believe that something coming from a past so far (1975) can sound so good and modern. For me is incredible. 

    I'm not a freshman in hi-fi audio world...

     

    The stage and the disposition of the instrument in the space are great.

    The pleasure of listening is fantastic. 

    And the most surprising thing are the bass performance: perfect. (I'll kilck next person who say that La Scala has no bass!)

     

    I'm definitely in love.

  10. Ciao a tutti,

     

    this Is my first post here.

    I've just bought this pair of La Scala from an old man who owns It since 1976. 

    He was a seller of Klipsh loudspeakers in Torino and for himself he asked for a particular style and color.

    He said that Everything Is original (AA crossover and alnico components) and these beauties have been since 1976 in the same position in his house...

     

    The sound Is wanderful. I'm using a valve integrated amplifier with 2a3.

     

    What do you think about this 'belle" style?

     

    Grazie!
