Brian6751 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 i dont have space for a third La Scala. Anyone ever use one of these? Seems like it might work better than a Heresy. http://www.billfitzmaurice.com/Omni12.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Doesn't look that much smaller than a La Scala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 -5dB at 100hz and a 5dB peak around 500hz? I think I'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian6751 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 it would need to be EQ'ed for sure. but It should get down to 80hz no problem. it is smaller. its 28" high and 15" deep. I could do that size. I might try it but use klipsch/crites parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 The peak around 500hz cannot sound good, do you think EQ can fix that? "i dont have space for a third La Scala." What size would you be comfortable with? Is it the height, width, or depth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What size would you be comfortable with? Is it the height, width, or depth? i dont see why the peak couldnt be fixed with a cut.im more interested in the cab itself. i wonder if i could pop klipsch drivers and x-xover in there. The size constraint is the height and depth. this would be about as big as i could go. maybe its not worth the trouble and i should just use a Heresy?

djk Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 This would be a pair of the drivers of the type used in the Quadscala, 102dB/2.83V/1M, -3dB at 46hz. It would outperform the BFM box for smoothness and bass extension, and be the same size. Use either a K600/601 or K700/701 and your choice of K77 or K79 tweeter. Use the basic Cornwall or Cornwall II Klipsch network for the components you pick, the midrange cap would need a small change if using the K700/701. The woofers are about $45 each from PE.The mid and HF would be like the vertical style Cornwall. Driver Properties Name: 295-030 Type: Standard one-way driver Company: Dayton Loudspeaker Co.

Brian6751 Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 I talked to Bob Crites today. I think I'm going to order his CS-1 center channel. That thing looks like a beast. I'll have to raise my TV a little to be able to use it until I get everything downstairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet_Hollow Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 i dont have space for a third La Scala I'm thinking if you don't have space for a 3rd La Scala, then perhaps you don't need a center channel at all. A pair of properly deployed La Scala can throw an awfully convincing phantom center depending upon how well your AVR can matrix the surround sound encoding.

djk Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 "So for a center would you use two or four of the drivers? " Given his size requirements I would just use two drivers. This also allows him to use basically stock Klipsch HF parts and network designs as well. With a K600/K55V/K77 component group the timbre should match fairy well too.

OK, so wire them in series for 16 ohms? If so, what kind of efficiency will you get from the speaker? Is it still 100 db+ or will you need to attenuate the mid and high? From your description it sounds like it should just about match up without attenuation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 The 102dB was parallel connected, and a 4Ω load. In series it would be 16Ω and 96dB. Wired for 4Ω you could use a Cornwall network and mid and HF component group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
