  1. OMG, don't I know it! I keep meaning to write up a review of the AL5s but it's so hard. They are so damn astounding. I find myself writing up a long list of superlatives but I can't quite convey exactly what makes them so amazing.
  2. Thanks Islander. Appreciate the detailed advice! I'll get a SPL and map out the frequency response at my listening position. Also enjoyed the explanation of the roll off in both directions (speaker & subwoofer).
  3. Thanks everyone for the info. Had no idea that I should cross over that high, but it makes sense. There is a SPL meter in my near future.
  4. I’m thinking about getting two Rel Ti7 subwoofers to go with my La Scala AL5s. The Ti7s are highly recommended and are supposed to be musical and fast so it seems like that would pair well with the La Scalas, while not taking away anything from that amazing, tight La Scala mid bass. A horn load sub would probably be ideal but I literally don’t have the space. Any general advice for pairing subwoofers with La Scalas? Does anybody have Rel subwoofers with their La Scalas? Is my space ok for two subwoofers? The La Scalas are obviously huge and go into the corners. The subwoofers would go in between my coffee table and the La Scalas…which seems less than ideal. The space from corner to corner is about 12.5 feet. Would it be better to go with a single subwoofer which goes lower? Two TI7s go down to 30hz which seems good enough. Or I could get a single S/812 which goes down to 19hz (probably not needed for unless I decide I can't live without pipe organ music). How are people doing their crossover? I see the AL5 are supposed to go down to 51hz but seems like bass might be dropping off above that. Sure would be nice if Klipsch had a line of subwoofers that paired with the Heritage speakers. Thanks for any help with my newbie questions!
  5. So much great info. I really appreciate all the replies. I'll definitely keep you posted when I get them. Best forum ever!
  6. Wow, thanks everyone for answers and the welcome. Guess I'm getting La Scalas!
  7. What is the minimum room size you need for La Scalas? In the manual I see it suggests 13' - 17' between the speakers. In my family room (my only option), I can put the speakers into an alcove about 11.5' wide (which has corners) and I'd be about 15' - 17' from the back wall of the alcove. Looking through the forum, there's been a variety of opinions for rooms about this size, some people saying too small and try Heresies or Fortes, and other people saying it would work. I can't say I've found any definitive answer yet in the forum or any specific criteria like "room this small would make the sound less than ideal for these reasons" or a "room this small would work for these reasons." If you think it would be a bad idea, what exactly would a room this size do to the sound? Or have you had personal experience with La Scalas in the room this size where it was great? Thanks in advance for any insight you can share!
