Matthews Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Several years ago, I picked up a pair of RF-7's thinking I will never part with. Well, in short, goodbye my ol' friends. Hello! La Scala!!! After getting them settled in (had to paint the wall behind cause they clashed with the yellow). Replaced a diaphragm on one HF horn (I'll do the other next week). It was time for a test drive! Three words, OMG!!! -the delicacy of sound from these is amazing. The warmth is attractive and the look, well, look at them! Gorgeous! I was a little worried they would be too much. Those worries went quickly out the door with the twist of the throttle. Oh dear Lord, I had no idea what I have been missing. Now to smooth over the neighbors. I think some fresh baked cookies are in order 6 Quote

001 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 very nice! i see some adcom gear, what are you running the scallas with? 1 Quote
Sancho Panza Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Congratulations; roughed it without them for almost a week, since you decided to wait. Isn't that great, the way things worked out? 1 Quote
Matthews Posted February 2, 2014 Author Posted February 2, 2014 Yup, Adcom gear. GTP-502 pre & GFA 555 amp (original). BUT just purchased a Rotel 1068 pre for $239 on the Bay. Going with ALL Rotel gear. Just going to have to be a little at a time. Oh, Adcom gear will be for sale soon Thanks all for the kind Congrats Quote
Gnote Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Congrats. A pair of LaScalas , A good sub , A good dog and a room to put him in when flexing the system. Doesn't get much better than that ! None of the 3 will likely ever let you down or give you any grief 3 Quote
Coytee Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Very nice!! I always liked the grill on the front. 1 Quote
etc6849 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Awesome! I made the switch from my RF-83 setup that I said I'd never sell to La Scala II's off craigslist late last year. I agree about the La Scala sound being better. 1 Quote
001 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 nice rotel pre, i like rotel stuff too, i have a rb99bx amp i got for a great deal from a local auction. 200wpc & it sounds very nice, much better than my adcom 555ii's. are the rotel preamps rated good? havent looked into their preamps yet, but i'm considering trading the adcom gear for rotel stuff too based on how the 990 amp sounds. 1 Quote

Moderators dtel Posted February 2, 2014 Moderators Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Good choice I say that because I like laScalas, not because I don't like Rf-7's, really I never heard the 7's for more than 5 minutes so it would be unfair. Although I am fond of big plywood boxes as speakers. Oh almost forgot, they look great in your room, very nice. Edited February 2, 2014 by dtel 1 Quote
Dennie Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Always good to see you Matt, those look fantastic. Isn't horn Bass amazing! Have the crossovers been updated? Keep us posted and Congratulations... Dennie Edited February 2, 2014 by Dennie Quote

ClaudeJ1 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 If you build or buy a THT from Jason, you will have to take entire meals and wine to your neighbors. Those cookies won't be worth spit as bribery material!! LOL 1 Quote

Some of us never left and have even improved upon Heritage. Khorns and beyond for decades while the rest of the world suffered with high distortion sound. Edited February 2, 2014 by ClaudeJ1 1 Quote
Schu Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Isn't amazing how many people go back to Heritage with great satisfaction? because they should have never left in the first place Quote
