I've been asking people for advice on another thread about how to design a sub to match my La Scalas. Looking at your design has got me thinking. What would happen if you took a LS bass bin and faced in into the corner of a room, then built a triangular top and bottom to create a large horn for it to sit in? Would it be possible to find the right position for it to create a corner horn out of it? A quick Sketchup pic: Looks interesting. Any thoughts? Lime Twig, ever had the opportunity to experiment with it? wish I had two real corners... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg928gts Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I tried it without the plywood top in my small listening room and it sounded fantastic. My small room has an unusual bass node that really sounds nice with La Scalas. Just a freak thing I think. Sh*t luck, whatever you want to call it. But it is still one of the most impressive sounding systems I've heard. These are custom split LS's that I restored from old beaters and then sold to a customer in the UK. I built them so the tops could easily be mounted either way. The grain on the veneer even lines up between the two sections when the backs of the bass bins are facing forward. As you can see, they aren't at a 45 degree angle. I got the best imaging and overall sound with them in this position. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
