how much space or how big a room does Cornwall III and La Scala II need?

[Rytmik]

Hi there

I´am new owner of the Klipsch Cornwall. How is you experience with room size for Cornwall and La Scala. I´am interested in La Scala, but don´t know if my room is big enough?

My listening room is about 40 yard (34 kvm)

Thanks

Rytmik :-)

Welcome to the forum! Nice speakers! What are the dimensions of the room including ceiling height? Others may chime in...

Do you have a listening position where you like to listen or do you move around?

[Rytmik]

Thanks billybob.

Dimension are: 5,63 meters x 5,93 meters. 33,4 kvm. and I have a listening position.

I have uploaded a picture of my room.

Thanks for helping :-)

Looks plenty big enough and appears that you may have them turned slightly towards your listening position.

How do they sound to you?

Where do the LaScala come into this?

[Rytmik]

Sounds great. A little bit dry, I thing it´s the italien amp. Would like to try valve amplification, when I can afford it. More 3 D and space, than i could imagine.

I thing the La Scala looks great, and wonder if the room is to small for them.

I think it is big enough for a pair of either.

[Rytmik]

Thanks Sancho.

It seems to me, that you have a pair. How big is you room, and how is the sound verses Cornwall?

[Sancho Panza]

My room is 410 square feet; I do not own any Cornwalls, yet.

Sorry, we don't deal with metric much so have to use a converter.

[Rytmik]

pretty much the same size as my room.

My LS clones are in a 16'x22' room with 9' ceilings. Speakers are on the long wall and 10' on center. Sitting area sweet spot is also 10' (on the triangle vertex). Sounds okay to my ears.

Hey Tarheel

Also pretty much the size of my room. How does your LS sound verses Cornwall?

[Marvel]

I have my LS in a room that is about 3.4m x 6.1m with ceiling of 2.43m. I use low power 2A3 amps, and sit back out 3.5m. When I do serious listening I move some things out of the way. The sound is great, plenty of bass, the music takes me to another place. I only heard Cornwalls once, while visiting the Klipsch facility in Indianapolis, IN one year. Personally, there was too much bass for my tastes. I would like to hear them somewhere else to compare.

... and welcome to the forums!

My room is funky shaped.. about 8'x24' with space carved out of that for a closet and a bathroom. The speakers sit along the long wall, out about 1.5ft and my listening chair is against the opposite wall. The Cornwalls are 6ft apart and 6ft from my head. Sounds good to me.

[Rytmik]

Thanks Bruce for sharing. My room has quit some bass absorption, so there is not too much bass with the Cornwall. Playing on Harbeth SHL5 the sound is a little bit thin.
