Mic76 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 No.. non voglio aggiungere un subwoofer.. sono possessore di LA SCALA PRO e ho sostituito i k43 con i woofer k33 di bob crites... ho guadagnato qualcosa sulle frequenze basse ma vorrei guadagnare ancora un altro poco... sto per costruire i cabinet e chiedo a chi li ha già realizzati se hanno ottenuto le migliorie oppure no.

I took the liberty of using an online translator. “No .. I don't want to add a subwoofer .. I am owner of LA SCALA PRO and I have replaced the k43 with the k33 woofers from bob crites ... I have gained something on the low frequencies but I would like to gain a little more ... I am about to build the cabinets and ask those who have already made them if they have obtained the improvements or not.” I know of no one who has done it and been disappointed. If a sub, or subs, is/are out of the question, then go for it. If you haven’t seen the thread below, it might be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 A friendly suggestion, before you go and modify the cabinets you might want to try positioning them at different locations in the room. The bass will be augmented if they are not on stands, if they are near a wall, or even better if they are near a corner of the room. Give it try since it is free to do. Good luck, -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprise, I hear you. Two schools of thought. I don't "need" subs either. I love them, but don't "need" them. I am surprised someone with LA scalas doesn't feel a need. I guess music preference has most to do with it. I could never have LA scalas without subs. Weird... Really weird... But I was mostly content with heresy IVs without subs trying them out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want subs with what speakers? How have you tried implementing them VERY SPECIFICALLY? I know you have been around the block, but a statement like some people don't want subs for ANY reason makes some (me) wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Cross the subs over as low as possible and get your position and phase right. You won't need to say subs suck and or don't blend in. Good tip from bosh ricci, face your subs away from you (towards the wall) and experiment with distance from the wall. It's true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michele. ...e buon ascolto a tutti;-) I built them, used them happily for over 3 years, then decided to build Claude's Qpies. If it weren't for the aesthetics I would've kept them, guess I'm kind of superficial! They sounded great though, even without any additional EQing. As long as you are aware that they still won't be producing any sub bass, I say go for it! They are such an easy and cheap mod that if you're not satisfied, well you burn them and go back to stock. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bassi saranno aumentati se non sono su supporti, se sono vicino a un muro, o ancora meglio se sono vicino a un angolo della stanza. Provalo perché è gratuito. Buona fortuna, -Tom I have already placed the LA SCALA in the corners and made other tests but I always have the feeling that I am missing some frequency.

Mic76 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I don't want to add subwoofers because I believe that in music in general (excluding electronic music and movies) there are no frequencies that make subwoofers sound ... that's why I'm not interested in adding subwoofers to my system ... play the LA SCALA better with some small changes because aesthetically they make me crazy ... another next change will be the replacement of the crossover because my series mounts the AL and I read that it is the worst ... thanks to all for your interventions 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michele. ...e buon ascolto a tutti;-) I made this comment earlier as I currently own the speakers that this thread is based on Please note that the speakers are custom built with double thickness sides and back approx 42mm Quote Bass extension base, specific answers- these are my observations Depending on the music selection , volume and drive force of the amp Thumping feeling in the solar plexus is strong at volume Walls vibrate to the touch at all volume levels If one puts a piece of paper over the exit port/s it dances with the air pressure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you have been around the block, but a statement like some people don't want subs for ANY reason makes some (me) wonder? I'm not against using/having subs. Just don't want to myself. Currently have MWMs with La Scala mids. Tweeter is from a Kp-3002 (Klipsch horn, uses an Eminence psd:2002 driver klipsch labeled). The La Scalas will be gone in another week or so. Going to my older son in N.C. Until I get other stuff hooked up I'll put my Herey IIs in front. I don't even use the Klipsch for the tv. I have little jbl Monitor 25s serving duty there. BTW, if you ever get to hear some MWMs you won't be the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 5 hours ago, Mic76 said: What are MWM??? There are photos? These are from a permanent installation (theater, club, etc.), from the pro line of Klipsch. These are supposed to be laying flat and not turned up like I have them. Each cabinet has two 15 inch woofers (K-43 in my case, although some swap in K-33). I only use a 35wpc Crown amp to power the whole setup.

Marvel Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 And TV isn't really our thing, so it's only a 55 inch. The woofers in the La Scalas are disconnected and the MWMs hooked up. Bass is crazy tight and clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
