  1. I have both La Scala's now!!  One sits on the south side of my garage where there's plenty of room, and one sits on the north side, where there is zero room. My solution was to section the bottom out of a existing 24" x 24" x 96" cabinet on the north wall and shove the La Scala in there...... as well as the Sanaui AU-9500.  It all fits wonderfully, and sounds nuts!!   Thankyou PWK!!!

  2. OK La Scala experts... I have a question. In a online video shot at the Klipsch factory , they show a woofer being installed in the dog-house, and then in the next shot, they show a guy shoving in a big hunk of acoustical foam in before it gets closed up. I've never seen a foam inside the dog-house of any Klipsch La Scala, or even a La Scala clone, What's the story? Is this something brand new for the AL5?

  3. It's here!!!  Wow, it sounds Incredible.  I took it apart at a friends suggestion and lined the bass bin with Kilmat and put it back together.  I'm driving in with a Sansui AU-9500 amp.  All the hype is true, it's one of the finest speakers ever made.  Shipping from Ohio to California was $180, not bad.  

     

    I could not be happier, and as a bonus, I found another single Black La Scala in similar condition!  

    Woo-Hoo!!!!

  4. So stoked.... got a La Scala for a great price.  Question?  Who has experiencing shipping one?

    Whats best?  Boxed, crated, of just strapped to a pallet?

    What carrier did you use?  Going from Ohio to Calif.

     

    Thanks!!

  5. I've built some La Scala clone cabinets and have gathered  up most of the internals, with the exception of the Mid Horns and Drivers.  So many ways to go on this one, both from Klipsch and the aftermarket.

     

    I'd love to remain with Klipsch ( K-55 driver and K 400 horn) but I've read enough post's that I know I can improve on the original Mid driver / horn combination.

     

    What's the latest / greatest hot set up?

     

    Thanks in advance.....

     

     

     

  6. Hey everyone... I put some K-604t horns and some K-66-E drivers in my Forte II cabinets in the mid position. These originally were in a "Professional Series" KP-301 II's. So far, I like 'em! They seem less "Shouty", especially at higher volumes ( 90db+) Question? Do I like them because they are better drivers, or being 16 ohm is their output less, making them seem less shouty?
