Sancho Panza Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Wish mine were Cane. Look like they just need badges; how are the crossovers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkrop Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Mixed reviews? More like mixed reviewers! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWS Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Mixed reviewers, how true. These are stock, I am sure I will look at a possible ugrade on the crossovers at some point. But I am in no hurray the way these things sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muel Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Do I see you are using a CR-2020 with those La Scalas? I haven't tried that combination yet but now I'm curious... I'm a big fan of the 2020! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWS Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Yes, CR-2020. I have nothing to compare these speakers to, but the combo sounds really good to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho Panza Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 What year are they; any labels left? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) I think I had a CR 2040 loved it till I heard the HK twin powered 430 with only 24 watts. It blew that 80 watt Yammy away as far as power and sound. Not sure why but it's true. That Yamaha was my second receiver bought it new... first receiver was a Sony 7065. I also have La Scalas If I could find a receiver that matched the HK 430 in sound I would buy it. The ones I got are close to being extinct and to expensive to refurbish . I loved that look of the Sony and it was high priced in the day. Rick Edited May 3, 2015 by ricktate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWS Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 The labels are in good shape. Looks like these are from '83. 31Y512 & 31Y513 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opusk2k9 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Great set of La Scala. Nice setup with Chorus II speakers too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalawag Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Found some! Wow, congrats, great looking system you have there! You have a beautiful listening room to enjoy the LS. I've also been a big fan of Yam 'Natural Sound' amps for years, using a CA2010 controlled by a Carver C4000 pre-amp. Enjoy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWS Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 That looks like a great set-up. I bet it sounds awesome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing the Yamaha CR-2020 or CA-2010 to the HK 930 or 330b I found that the Yamaha really blew away the HK. I wonder why the different experience? I had mine all rebuilt except for the 330b. Interesting... Oh, the 2040 had 120 watts which was probably under rated. I think my 2020 actually measured at 120 watts before clipping. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
