Che Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I saw a pair of La Scalas on craigslist at a great price. I am pretty certain that I don't have the room for them, but hope to in the future. I would love to pic them up, would need to get some utility out of them immediately as I am looking for a pair of Speakers.So the question is: What is the absolute smallest space that you would consider putting these speakers in? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDirt Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 4'x4' LaScala - LaScala on one wall. Me in a lawn chair on the other wall. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRR Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 If you can fit the speakers and a nice recliner in your room you will be OK. I had mine in a 16 x 11 Ft room on the long wall with a horn loaded subwoofer and they sounded as nice as it did in the main living room. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Your first sentence seals the deal right there. If you can get them at a "great price"....do it. Doesn't matter what your current room size is. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 There is a cheap fix to reduce the La Scala minimum listening distance: https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/160209-klipschorns-suitable-for-my-listening-room/#entry1942329 Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.4 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) The above fix really does amazing things to the soundstage of my La Scalas in my small 11 x 11 room. A long style table tuba in the back corner helps too! Thanks again Chris for suggesting this mod! Edited February 24, 2016 by No.4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybobg Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I lived in a small condo when I first got married. They were on an 7 ft. wall and the listening distance was about 6 ft. . I carried them around for years and sometimes they were stored in neighbors basements due to a low WAF I've never regretted the hassle of moving them and storing them. jimjimbo's advice is sound (pun intended). Get them now and somehow you'll find a spot for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 I think I am sold. Checking to see if they are still available as I type this. Crossing my fingers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeDirt Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Sorry to hear about your loss. Just remember what you've learned here and be ready for the next go round. Trust me, they WILL be available again, but you will be the first one there to pick them up! If you follow this forum you will discover there are certain speakers that don't make it one day on the market before being grabbed. LaScalas are certainly one such model. In the olden days there was a saying that nobody ever got fired for buying IBM hardware. LaScalas are on par with that statement. A really good deal on LaScalas is a double win.

Che Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 I just got a line on another pair of La Scalas. Looks like I am going to pick them up tomorrow or Saturday. Wooohooo! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twk123 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I just got a line on another pair of La Scalas. Looks like I am going to pick them up tomorrow or Saturday. Wooohooo! Awesome! Good luck on the purchase. I have a set in a room that is 11'x13'. They are toed in to meet slightly behind my listening position and sound great. What type of music do you usually listen to? If you like bass heavy music I would really suggest getting a subwoofer as the LaScalas are incredibly clean in the mid-bass but dont go very deep.

Che Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Picking the speakers up tonight. (I'm so stoked.) He also has a B&K AVR 305 that he is willing to let go on the cheap. So I might pick that up as well. My room is 11'x20'x8', I will have to rearrange the room, but I am so so so so excited to do so to make it all work. The speakers are going to be in the corners of the short wall on the far side. I guess I won't be removing that popcorn ceiling after all, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Room size will be great! That's abut the size I had my old pair in. If you sit about 10 feet back... magic! Wow, I'm getting excited for you! Should work out fine... Welcome to the club... Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Picked them up. Got them into the house. Next week I'll start working on getting the room that they are going to go into rearranged. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Here they are. The seller also sold me a B&K AVR 305 for cheap too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
