ntcrusher Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Thank you sir. Been a lot of getting at a little at a time. I can't find another la scala base bin for nothing. If I do find one, it's local pick up only. I know it's only a center channel, but trying to keep a little order in the make up of the front end. Another couple points that may need some direction. I have Mcintosh amps as well. I think I'm going to go with the Marantz 8801 for processing. The Mcintosh 121 is 6K and the Mcintosh 151 is 12K. A little high for me at this point. The Marantz is made by the same folks that own Mcintosh and it has gotten pretty good reviews. So here is the setup. Left and Right Channels are Klipsch Jubilee's with TAD 4002 drivers on the top horns. Mcintosh MC 402 running the top horns while a Crown K2 is running the base bins. Rears are 2010 Klipsch La Scala II's. Mcintosh MC7270 running the La Scala's. Side (Surrounds) I think I'm going with the Klipsch KPT-8-VB's. I need to pick up another amplifier for those guys. Center Channel, I will try and get another La Scala for that. Projector, I'm going with JVC's DLA-RS55U with 4K imaging. Theater will have seating for 8. Screen will be fixed on the wall, so no speakers behind the screen. I'm trying to match the video with the sound. It's close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntcrusher Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 One last note while I'm thinking about it. The jubilee's in my living room has a sound that with my own ears, haven't heard matched. The living room has 8' ceilings. With the theater having 12' ceilings, I think the sound is going to be way better when listening to music (Pink Floyd-Sorrow). Comments welcome of course.

There's a good-looking pair of LSI splits in Atlanta: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/ele/3897462575.html Single speakers are nearly always hard to find. I bought a pair of Belles just to get one to use as a centre between my JubScalas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntcrusher Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 A Bell would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 If you've got the height, and two amplifier channels to drive it, a JubScala would sound better than a Belle, but for dialogue, a Belle would work just fine, and look better. Mine certainly does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntcrusher Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 It's the same thing. Nothing close to where I live. No body wants to ship. If I had my druthers, I would do another 402 horn on top of a la scala base bin with a TAD 4002 driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntcrusher Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Just got off the phone with America Cinema Equip. A couple of folks there saying that the KPT 4350-MS would be an awesome fit. Getting some more information on it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieWoof Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 there is a single Belle on Audiogon right now but that KPT4350-MS would be Killer as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psg Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The KPT 4350-MS has the advantage of not being deep. Another path top consider is using one of your existing La Scala II as center and sell the other, use KPT series speakers as rear surrounds instead, and maybe change the top hat of the La Scala II to match the Jubs. Consider going with an AT screen. It's cool to have voices coming from behind the screen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelandKlipsch Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 This setup is going to sound incredible I'm officially jealous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntcrusher Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 I went with the Klipsch KPT 4350 as my center channel. http://images.klipsch.com/36a95f309faf8cc4e182300acdd61a5a_635042153647940000.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBPK402 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I can't really add another jubilee. I am limited on space for the center channel from a height perspective. I'm thinking another la scala would suffice. Here is a picture of the front end: The garage was already finished. I actually framed in walls and butted them up to the existing drywall. Ran my wiring for recessed lighting, projector, speakers, HDMI, CAT5E/CAT5 and electrical. I then insulated the walls I built. Then put one layer of 1/2 drywall up, then came back with another 1/2 layer of drywall with the green glue on the back of it for sound proofing. For the other pics go here: http://s372.photobucket.com/user/ntcrusher/library/Home%20Theater?sort=3&page=1 When you butted the new walls up against the old ... Did you leave the old sheet rock in place? Did you sheet rock the new wall on both sides or just one side? I am asking because I will be doing mine in the next few months. Did you do any noise level testing before and after (measuring from outside the garage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do any noise level testing before and after (measuring from outside the garage? I framed the walls and butted the built walls against the existing drywall. After doing that, I insulated the new walls and then put 2 layers of 1/2 drywall. The first layer went up, then I used the Green Glue and put up the second layer. The only testing I did was with my ears. I will also have to put some door kits on as well. For my walls, I have existing drywall with existing insulation. Then another wall built with insulation again and 2 layers of drywall with green glue in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntcrusher Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 I think I know which way to go here but I'm going to fish with everyone again. I need 3 more channels of amplification. 1 for the center 4350ms and 2 for the side channels kpt 1201s. I'm thinking of getting 2 crown xlr2500s but worried about hum and hiss. What do you guys thnk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntcrusher Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Another qq for you guys. The predrilled holes on the back of the KPT 1201's, what industry standard bracket are they referencing here to mount it with? http://images.klipsch.com/KPT1201_635042125490850000.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
