Since I will be using big subs, do I really need big bulky fronts too, as I will be crossing over at 80hz? Weight: 123lbs Measurements: 33.5" H x 23.75" W x 24.5" D Power Requirements: 100 - 500watts Big bulky fronts doesn't equal large bass. Actually the LaScalas do not have anywhere near the "slam" that I got from my RF-83's, RF-7's, RF-7ii or CF-4's. What they do provide is very clean bass. Typically the larger the speaker, the bigger the overall sound and presence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basshead Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) Yea, the La Scala's are just too heavy and bulky plus I really don't wish to build anything massive to raise their height. After going through many options, I am leaning towards 3x RP280F's, 4x RP250's with titanium tweeters, plus 4 ceiling speakers. Is this a good choice? Or should I go with direct radiating speakers for the rear and keep 2xRP250's speakers for the sides? I don't know if mentioning this is a forum violation, but I am also considering PSA speakers too.

Typically the larger the speaker, the bigger the overall sound and presence. I am now actually considering The La Scala's. I was going over many options including the KL-650 THX speakers. I found 2 La Scala pro's for 1800 CAD = 1365 USD. Its not in the best cosmetic condition and needs to be refinished, do you think I should go for it? would any La Scala's match this for a center channel?

RoboKlipsch Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 It may have been craigslist but i thought ebay.....there were 2 pair of RS7s in perfect condition for 400 per pair. If pro is a no go i really like the rf7s and cant imagine doing much better. The used market is massive and should provide savings. The THX line is pretty sweet too especially if you dont need to shell out for the subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
