Hello All!
Newbie here, this is my first post, just thought I would chime in on the La Scala bass bins , as I have built them and am currently using them under my Scalas.
I am a hobbyist audiophile and also a hobbyist woodworker. I am not a proffessional at either of these hobbies. I was introduced to Klipsch heritage stuff by my friend Mike, who has a very nice SAE rack setup and a pair of speaker lab Khorns. I started with a pair of herseys then bought walnut Khorns at pawn shop for $900 back in the 90's. Sold the khorns and herseys as my wife and daughters came along and house would not accomodate the khorns anymore. Then comes I pod etc. vintage music went away in our household and did not fit in until I built 30 x 40 woodworking shop behind our house. Ended up lurking on craigslist for woodworking tools and stereo stuff. Ended up with a nice mitsubishi amp, pre, meters and tuner setup from one owner. then along comes La Scalas from craigslist, painted black, cats lived in them and get them home both tweeters blown. Get crites c-120 tweets washers for mid drivers and new crites 4500 xovers. I do really like the scalas alot, but they do lack in base and if you listen for long periods your head will hurt. They are very direct in the mids and will get to you with louder volumes.
I am a blues guitar guy and that is the music I listen to and I do like it louder, these speakers will wear you down.
So, that was just a little history to set the scene here. I built the base bins , and I am currently running them. My opinion is that they do help some, and are a little better than without, but not the total answer. I am going to get a sub for sure, or make a sub. I am super glad I ran into this post as, I feel I will probably make one of the Bill Fitzmaurice subs referenced in this thread>
Sorry for the long rambling Thanks for Looking The bass bins are not enough of an answer------------ a sub is needed to reproduce the lower frequencies.
Thanks
Gordon
