Max2 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I was under the impression that the OP was a music listener as well. If its all about a big Bam, Boom, Crash for movies, then maybe another sub or a custom build sub might be more suiting. For what its worth, If you want a presentable looking speaker that responds very well with mods and is capable of besting a two way Jub in SQ in a average sized room, then go get your K's.

Khornukopia Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Two solid core door slabs, securely fastened together will create a corner almost anywhere. I recommend a triangular plywood base or top shelf, to stabilize the free standing corner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl's system is the best home theater implementation that I've heard, and it is also great for 2-channel music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't normally need an invitation, I just show up and make a drink, even if you're not home..... I was just kidding Carl, I'm just feeling somewhat sarcastic and snarky tonight, especially since the Cubs are getting smoked..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I knew that, well the snarky part anyways. You really don't want to be here if no one's home unless you want to end up being an hors d'oeuvres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely am a music listener as well. In fact I'd have to say as far as theater goes I am extremely happy with the setup I have now. I am very happy with it as far as music goes too. I think that's one thing a lot of people misunderstood. I am in no way unhappy with the La Scala's I am just now in a position where I may be able to afford some used Khorns and have always wanted to try them so I figured why not give it a shot if the room would be adequate for them. It would definitely take a lot of rearranging though. I don't really think it would be worth it for me to go through the trouble of building a false wall I think I would rather just go the plywood route if I did decide to get a pair.

Ceptorman Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I say give them a try, you know you want to. If they don't fit your needs, you can always get your money back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 On 10/24/2016 at 2:34 PM, twk123 said: One thing I have never liked in HT is speakers too far from the screen as the panning draws your attention away from the movie which might be the case with the K-Horns. Just voices alone would mess this up. If a character walks from one side of the screen to the other, often times the voice will follow so sound comes from right behind them. If the sound was coming out of the far corner, that would just be weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 To wide of a sound stage can be a problem. I know with music one side of the piano starts on the right and can end on the left side, lol. I guess to much of any one thing is not good.

I don't really think I would have that issue because my room is kinda on the small side as it is. Curious what you guys think. I found a pair locally from a guy he says they were manufactured in 1972 they have AK-3 crossovers and he says they are in cosmetically 9/10 condition and working flawlessly. He will not go below 3k I have tried for weeks and he wont budge. I haven't gone to check them out yet because they are like 2 hours away from me so if I go all the way down there I wanna go with cash in hand ready to buy. Do you guys think 3k is a good price if the condition and all that checks out? What do you guys think? Is 72 a good year, are the AK-3's a good crossover? I have considered the fact that if I bought them and liked them I could most likely make at least half the money back selling the La Scala's I have so that's definitely a plus.

derrickdj1 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 IMHO some two more killer subs will set that room off more than a change of speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
