wvu80 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 @Trogdor420Did you get them hooked up yet? Any compare/contrast observations, or just plain "how do they sound?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor420 Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Ok.... I will try to describe things. I purchased these La Scala's in the fall based on their potential, not how they sounded in the state they were in. I was pretty sure they would at least need some work on the crossover, possibly new diaphragms. Before they sounded veiled, a bit muddled. Occasionally, I would catch a hint of their potential brilliance. But mostly, I was left wanting more. Fast forward two months to today. I immediately noticed a massive improvement in clarity. People often suggest it is like lifting a heavy blanket off the speakers. I would say this is an apt description. Before, it was like the signal wasn't all getting through to the individual drivers, which is what I understand is what happens with old capacitors as they drift out of spec. They also seem to have a wider soundstage now. So far, I am throughly impressed with the upgrade. I still want to play a with the attenuator on the sqwaker a bit to see ifni can tweak things a bit more. I I also see myself going further down the rabbit hole and upgrading the tweeters some day. In all, Al K deserves a big pat on the back. I'm a happy camper[emoji3]Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
