ClaudeJ1 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 AHA. First time I have seen the guts of a LS II. Had many L S in my life, a few for DJ work in the 80's, and 3 at home. All with modified AA's and K33 and 43 woofers. I'm sure a HUGE part of the improvement with the LS II is in the network, where they MUST kill the 7 db peak at 140 Hz. or so in that bass horn. Once that happens, the rest is easier to deal with. Having a sub means this will trounce a Cornwall I, II or III........a 3 way Jube with Active Xover might trounce the LS II, but it would NOT be pretty and get no respect from the other half.

psg Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Lascala II pictures Very nice! Thanks! How do they sound at home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finallygotmyheresies Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 This is one of only two pictures I could find with the grills removed and it looks like there was a revision at some point as to how the tweeter was flush mounted. Since I don't like the look of these with the grill removed it doesn't really matter to me. The resolution on this picture makes it hard for me to tell if this is actually the prototype pair that was made completely out of ply.

finallygotmyheresies Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 here is a picture that I know is of the ply cabinet LSII's. I think I got it from the original for sale thread made by the Klipsch employee that sold them. I really like mine but these are purty too.

finallygotmyheresies Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Lascala II pictures Very nice! Thanks! How do they sound at home? I am just as happy with their sound as I was with the CWIII's. The only thing I miss is the size of the Cornwalls. I am sure once I get them into a larger listening space they will shine even brighter. The room they are in now is pitifully small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I am sure once I get them into a larger listening space they will shine even brighter. The room they are in now is pitifully smallDid you try toeing them in a little more, until the speakers are pointing directly at your listening position? Also, if you have something like a large bookcase that can be placed on the outside of the left channel, perpendicular to the front wall and backed up to the speaker. This would help to balance the stereo image a bit and give you deeper lf response.My $0.02. Enjoy! Those are nice! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finallygotmyheresies Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 When I slide a chair directly in front of the tv I get good imaging so I haven't toed them in anymore than what you see. I'm only gonna be here until I get established here in South FL. thanks for the bookshelf suggestion, I will keep an eye open for one that could work there.

psg Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 It would only take a sec to try the toe-in. I would try. They usually disappear from the home when pointing at you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to do with side wall resonance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet_Hollow Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Did you try toeing them in a little more.... It would only take a sec to try the toe-in. +3 !! [Y] 40-45 degrees....even in small quarters like you have them. Doing so will give you a much larger sound stage and really clean up the midrange output from the right channel. Nice pics BTY!! Man, check out that crossover network and all those coils. [:|] It's like the Formula-1 version of an AL from the outside.
