They can be too loud w/o blaring, sounding excessively loud. They just swallow you up. It's the same with my Klipschorns, and, sans bass, with my Belle Klipsch center channel. In general, on my system, any classical recording that sounds bad loud, also sounds bad soft through these lovely, authoritative, behemoths. Good recordings can reach concert volume without blaring. For fff, that has meant levels of 100 to 110 dB++, briefly from the main listening position (12 or 13 feet away in a 4,000 cu.ft. room, "C," "Fast"). The wattage per channel at those moments, on my supposedly "peak reading" power meter was about 25 watts. For f and ff, I coast along at 80 to 95 dB. A medium level is more like 75 to 85 dB. All is clean, clear, and still sometimes amazing, with good recordings. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 We're getting some light showers, periodically. Nothing notable, yet. 8 hours ago, babadono said: Amazing how low distortion speakers can get louder than you realize Had a half decent Yamaha system when I was in HI .... 25years ago.... It was that way. Was shooting for that. I budgeted the same $$$. It set me back, $2000. I'm there, under budget. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 It was the best I could afford [new]. Don't remember much about it, except it was one of their "Natural" sound series. Floor speakers. Don't think the Scalas outweigh them by much. I did better with this last acquisition. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 the room is 12 X 25. They are set on the long wall, 12 feet apart ... toed in slightly. And yes, the H/K630 from Jim is powering them. No usable corners. I could spread them a little further apart, but they start interfering with doors/traffic pattern. You would have to walk around them... Lovin' them. the wife, even, likes them. Looks and sound. Rosa has us landlocked... Probably until Wednesday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 @Tarheel My sis was saying those moose-quitoes have a bite like a horsefly. and will drain a small appendage, given the chance. I can't imagine how wonderful those dead fish smell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart, to me they sound great, we use a 930 for the Clll's in the bedroom and they just have a nice sound on whatever you hook them to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
