Zappa Freak Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) Just lookig for opinions as the cornwalls are a pain to move around.... I have a pair of LaScala's as fronts and a pair of KLF 30"s as rears looking for center channel options. Using a chorus II now was thinking of moving a cornwall into the center position any comments?

Woofers and Tweeters Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Subscribed to this thread. I want to hear that setup. Though they weren't made to be a full range speaker, the Cornwall are great. I want a pair of CW for my Belle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I can't see your front, but why not another LaScala. My front 3 are, and it's impossible to beat 3 of the same. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Once you get used to the sound of horn-loaded bass (like the La Scala, Belle, Khorn, and Jubilee), then I find that using a direct radiating bass significantly degrades that horn-loaded bass cleanness. PWK also wrote about this in his "Dope from Hope" notes. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusaDude Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I'm another advocate (and owner) of the 3 front LaScala setup... Tough to beat that combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I can't see your front, but why not another LaScala. My front 3 are, and it's impossible to beat 3 of the same. I don't own 3 across the front, but I've heard Craig's ^^^. Even in a less than ideal listening environment (think medium sized gym for cheerleaders and gymnasts) the three La Scala in front (and 3 in back) blows away our local Regal Cinema theater sound. Maybe it's because there are three identical speakers working in unison delivering sound to your ears all at the same time, all I can say is I've never heard anything better.

That's true - if you have LS for your mains - go LS (X3) for the front!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitrofan Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I use an rc7 with lascala fronts and it works fine to my ears 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronB123 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I'm actually in a similar predicament. Right now I have La scala's as mains and an RC-64ii as the center and that center is very impressive and sometimes I can't believe how much sound can come from that size speaker especially when watching a Blu-Ray but I'm actually considering switching to 3 La Scala's upfront myself. It's funny that you mention the cornwall though because I actually considered using one of those as a center myself. The only thing is I am not sure if my TV would fit on top of it. I would have to check the dimensions. If your looking for an actual center though the RC-64ii is definitely worth looking into Very good center!

Schu Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) OP... this was pretty good: Even though placement has changed a little, this is also very very good: I do wish I had a third cornwall for the center... but I don't right now.

muel Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 When I bought my vertical Cornwalls they were both being used as center between two Khorns. Couple things about that... I wonder if using two Cornwalls you might not experience quite as much distortion with the volume turned down to accommodate 2 centers instead of a single. These Cornwalls had ALK B replacement (his original design.. not the current cornscala-wall) networks which are not my favorite networks BUT they are very balanced top to bottom! Well suited for HT I think. If you have room for two Cornwalls you might have room for a single La Scala... certainly width wise! Can't beat that horn sound!

Schu Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) I did something similar to that many years ago as an experiment... again... wall of sound, but imho imaging and separation suffers greatly. makes me wonder why big installations are Arrays... probably has to do with the processing and movement of the sound.

Zappa Freak Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) I have a pair of Cornwalls I am not using you think I should use both as centers? I also have a set of KG 5.5 think they would sound good at center? Edited May 25, 2016 by Zappa Freak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalcomfort Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Crites makes a good center combo, compact and goes well with my Jamboree's. If you are into the DIY thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
