Gregorius Posted March 11, 2002 Posted March 11, 2002 Greetings Gentlemen, I have a pair of 1976 LaScala's, in the back, in front of the AA networks there is a L-bracket with two pots mounted on it with tweeter and midrange silk screened below. Is this factory? If not somebody went to a great effort to make it look like it. I am also assuming that this is used to adjust the crossover point. Should I remove these? Can anyone offer some insight on this? ALK?

JohnA Posted March 11, 2002 Posted March 11, 2002 No, that is not factory. Mr. Paul believed user controls would just ruin the sound of the speaker. John Quote
Cornwalled Posted March 22, 2002 Posted March 22, 2002 I wouldn't worry about it, in fact I'm considering adding something like that too, makes them more flexible, especially for near field monitoring, such as my current situation. As long as the controls are clean and of high quality, you shouldn't have any problems. They would most likely be controlling the actual volume of their respective drivers through variable resistance. So sit back and enjoy the extra versatility you have Jon ------------------ markvi82@hotmail.com 1981 Cornwall I's Yamaha DSP-A1000 integrated amp Acoustic Research AR3A's for Pro-Logic rears (Music only setup) Marantz CD Player Yamaha Turntable with Stanton EE Cartridge Quote
Gregorius Posted March 22, 2002 Author Posted March 22, 2002 Thanks Guys, The pots sounded a little scratchy, and I didn't think the extra resistance was any good for the speaker that PWK designed, so I left the pots mounted and disconnected them, so I could put the wiring back to stock. I think it sounds better now without them in the circuit, i.e. more space in the music like it is in a larger room. I can always hook them back up if I want to experiment.
