I was thinking about doing this. I guess 1000,- euro should not be a problem to get my money back when I want to sell them

He also owns a SS amp, I think it is a Denon with 80 wpc. But he prefers the sound of a tubeamp.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Chorus known for being a bit thin in the low end? And the CF-3, on the other hand, was known for having a fuller low end?

Thank you He will be using a tubeamp. The Dynaco ST70II.. Can't recall the Watt output, if I remember it correctly it was around the 35 Watts

Thank you for the input. I know from my own experience that each speaker can sound different with an equal-sized woofer. I think the assumption that 'the Chorus woofer is bigger, so it should have more bass' is too simplistic. I have no idea how the CF-3 sounds with two woofers, even if they are slightly smaller, having two of them might result in a fuller bass perhaps? . I remember reading that the Epic CF-3 actually produced decent bass, but I'm not sure if I remembered it correctly 😏

A question for the Epic experts. Someone is offering his Epic CF-3 for sale for 1000,- euro. I'm considering buying it for my brother. He's currently using my old Chorus speakers, and he enjoys them, but he feels they lack some bass. His music taste is very diverse, but he mainly listens to lively pop, rock, and metal. Two questions: What is a reasonable price for the Epic CF-3? And how will the CF-3 compare to the Chorus speakers?

I waited for three weeks for someone whom I thought had a lot of expertise. I had high expectations for his visit, to be honest. He came by on Saturday, promising to bring various acoustic panels and measuring equipment to help identify and address the issues. Maybe it's my mistake for expecting too much, but despite his good intentions (which I appreciate), the man lacked the knowledge he claimed to have and didn't bring anything he had promised. He did have two huge bass traps worth 1500 each in his van, though. After an hour of listening and fiddling around, the man left, and I feel like I'm back to square one. Well, except that I know now that bass traps won't help in my situation, not even the flutter echo improved. Now, I'm researching what I can use to cover my walls to improve the acoustics. I've seen a few decent products, but I'm still searching, hoping to find something better.

Honestly, WAF can be the number one factor determining the size of your speakers, the maximum volume you can listen to your music, how far you can place the speakers from the wall in terms of speaker placement, and whether you can opt for that "actually expensive amplifier" or stick with the "affordable model," etc..etc...

I also own the Al-5, and while I don't have an immediate need for a sub, I am considering adding a horn sub to the system in the future. Daan from this forum suggested replicating the basscabin of the Klipschorn and, if you don't have corners available (like me), placing it on its side against a wall. The floor and wall would then act as the necessary extension of the horn. I thought it was a fantastic idea to add sub-bass using a horn to your system.

Thank you for the tips that are being given. And sorry for my late response, it's been a bit of a chaotic week here 🙄. But bass traps... aren't they just for filtering out the low frequencies? They don't really help much with the echo issue I have in my living room, right? Also, I saw the price of 1 bass trap... 1500,- 😳 I haven't looked further, maybe I stumbled upon the most exotic bass trap available. But I will never spend that much on something like this 😄.

Thx.. Nice read 😊

Good day, Apparently, I have an acoustic problem that became apparent after purchasing my Lascala AL-5 speakers. My living room is 38x18 feet , and both the walls and ceiling are made of concrete with a plaster layer. The result is a delightful echo that doesn't do justice to the sound quality. As a test, I hung large thick cloths on both walls, covering a significant portion of them. This resulted in a considerable improvement in the sound. Now, I want to tackle the walls and possibly the ceiling myself, covering them with a material or panels that at least match the effect of the cloths, but preferably surpass it. When I search on Google, it presents various companies that offer products for this purpose, but apart from some exorbitant prices, I can't find any information on the level of absorption of these materials. Nowhere do I see a unit of measurement (if it even exists) that provides insight into the magnitude of the effect it will have. Are there any members who have personal experience with this and know which products work well, at least matching or even surpassing my cloth test?

I was hoping for 1500,- but 2k would be a bit better 😁 Maybe my brother will get mij CW4, so perhaps the Chorus have to go.

I am quite surprised that some people here are so positive about placing large speakers in a small room. I have no doubt about their experience and knowledge, but know that it can certainly cause problems. I myself own the LaScala AL-5, have a room that is approximately 39 feet by 18 feet, and I have significant acoustic issues. There is still a possibility that I won't be able to solve this, and I might have to invest a considerable amount of money in acoustic treatment or part ways with the LaScala. I wish you the best in whichever choice you make, and I hope it brings you happiness.

My brother owns a pair of Chorus 1. (they where mine before) What is a fair price for these speakers when he want to sell them? They have been completely sanded down and revarnished by a professional. So, they look like new, but not original in terms of the varnish.

Is there an audible difference between the PA3 and the PA5? Or is the only difference the output power?

If for any reason you are forced to have your listening position tightly against the back wall, can an absorbing audio panel alleviate all the negative effects?

I own the CW4 in Walnut veneer and the Lascala AL5 in Cherry. I'm not sure if they use the same types of finishes as your Lascala II, but I found that the best way to remove scratches is to use regular natural maintenance oil for wooden furniture. I was able to purchase the Lascala at a greatly reduced price due to the numerous highly visible and large scratches. I even used parquet oil, and everything is completely gone. There are still some grooves on the surface where the lacquer/veneer was pressed in, but in terms of color and appearance, all the scratches are completely gone. Perhaps this trick can help you out.

Now you've made me curious. Years ago, I had the original La Scala. Now, many years later, I have the La Scala AL-5. Unfortunately, I have no idea how the original La Scala sounded, and I can't compare them anymore since I don't have them. What's your experience? How does the La Scala II differ in terms of sound from the original La Scala? And what do you mean with cabinet toughness?.. The fineer?

Also Dutch? No , really...forget about the Heresy 4 , your room is just to small , sorry.. I think with the Heresy 3 it already can be a struggle to make it sound pleasant

I had to calculate it back for a moment. But you want to place the CW4 in a room of 3m x 3m?? I own the CW4, I know how much sound pressure and bass they can produce, and I truly cannot imagine the speakers being able to perform adequately in this space. In that case, the Heresy seems like the smarter choice, and even these speakers would already be quite powerful for this room. Skip the Heresy 4, as it has a bass port and requires more space. Consider the Heresy 3 instead.

I prefer your suggestion tbh 😉 Khorn basscabinet on his side on the floor against the wall

Omg 😱... No words for this... But damn I want to hear how this sounds!!!!

Lascala is limited to 50Hz.. 🙁
