ChuckAb3 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Looks like you'll be having a conversation with Mr. Crites about a new "subwoofer". Congrats on the purchase/win. Nice looking speakers. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted July 7, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 7, 2014 Don't know about the amp but the LaScalas look really nice, is this going to be you first Heritage ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 That amp will do nice on the bass................ It other words, the highs are going to drill holes into your ears. Sell the amp, and buy something that won't inflict so much pain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I think you scored, price is in line with the La scalas as you well know, the amp, well that's a bonus. Good Job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Congrats on the speakers. That amp is a back breaker. Get something like a light weight tube or class D amp. Edited July 8, 2014 by derrickdj1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porn_Star Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 thank you all for the feedback, i am guessing that the voice coil wire is broken going through the spider. i may try and get the sub fixed, as i have blown my speaker budget for a while now. what do you all recommend on the amp? i really dig lows, so if that amp puts out heavy on the low frequencies that i fine with me. these are my first set of the heritage lineup. i really love the way the belles look, and i am sure they sound equally as amazing. i recently bought my first house, so i have many projects started. one of which is to outfit my bedroom and the guest bedroom with a nice tv and sound system while trying to be energy efficient. tube amps, what should i look for, and what should i avoid? i am thinking i may set myself a 300 dollar limit. or should i wait it out till i can get something better?

joessportster Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Now Dean I purposely left that part out So porn you really like bass, that statement is kind of broad in range, when you say you really like bass, does that mean you like chest thumping feel like you are in a club bass, or does it mean you like tight, articulate defined bass ??? Since you bought Lascala's I hope it is the latter tight articulate defined............................lascalas have great bass definition but will not thump the chest or rattle the windows......................300.00 will not buy you much in a tube amp, my recommendation is sell the crown and add it to your fund and look for a refurbed Dynaco st 70, fix the driver issue, refurb the crossovers and enjoy life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 8, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 8, 2014 Since you have Rf 7ll you should read what Youthman said when he tried some LaScalas, I think it's in the HT section. . It's going to be a different sound for sure, completely different bass and bigger horns, see what your ears think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet_Hollow Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 .lascalas have great bass definition but will not thump the chest or rattle the windows That's a negative ghost-rider.La Scala can throttle an entire house. They are a performance speaker...not plug and play. Porn_Star....pick up an EQ and a multimeter before you dump the amp. PS400 ain't all that bad for the interim.

Porn_Star Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 So I just picked up the la scalas and they demonstrated them from an ipod. So far I am not very impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 10, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Could be why most people don't listen using an ipod ? If that was your plan we could have warned you ahead of time, hate when that happens. Could that have been to show they worked and not the quality of sound ?

eth2 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Not sure an ipod is the definitive test. LaScalas respond well to quality inputs. Garbage in/garbage out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porn_Star Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Oh I understand the crap in crap out. That shows well with my rf7iis, I guess I am just hyped up more than maybe I should be. We will see once I get some lossless on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted July 28, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 28, 2014 Congrats on the sale. As mentioned, a few months ago, I picked up a pair of LaScalas with the intent to demo them in my home, enjoy them for awhile and eventually pass them along to someone else. It didn't take me very long to realize they offered MUCH more detail and clarity than my RF-83's. Within a few weeks, I purchased a third LaScala from Wstrickland and after hearing the LaScala Trio, I was completely hooked and within 2 weeks, the RF-83 / RC-64 were sold. Having three identical LaScalas as my front sound stage is incredible. Seamless panning from one speaker to another and they produce a beautiful wall of articulate sound. Also, the LaScala as a center is a HUGE upgrade from my RC-64. The ONLY think I have not been impressed with the LaScalas was the bass extension. Some have said "give them some real power and they will thump". I think I have that covered with 200 watts going to each speaker. Power isn't the issue. Owning RF-7, RF-7ii and RF-83, they just provide that slam that the LaScalas will never be able to provide. That's because they were designed to only go down to around 70Hz. So they ABSOLUTELY need a sub if you want deep, thumping impact. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts after you've had more time to listen to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
