wstrickland1 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 So much sunlight coming in from that back window it's ridiculous. I will take some better ones later. These were going to go upstairs, really not sure about that now. Think the Palladiums would make the trip up the stairs much better than these beasts. Why didn't anyone tell me? I rely on you people to keep me out of trouble. I believe they are twice as heavy as my old LS 1's. Good grief the top hat weighs as much.... At any rate I have to say the packaging is amazing. Really. So here's a few shots, most are bad but hey with this toe take what you can get..... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 1, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 1, 2017 I love look of the thicker wood on the 2 version, they say it's a real improvement in sound also. Had to go look, they say 175.5 pounds, that's heavy I had no idea they weighed that much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Yeah... that's exactly what mine looked coming out of the factory packaging... except, you know... with damage Congratulations again. I remember when I first fired mine up I was really shocked and extremely concerned because it wasn't a much better experience than my modded Cornwall, it was much worse. Slowly I began a journey down the tube component path that started with a tube pre amp removing my all class d pre amp... Slowly it started to come around to the point now where the system sound so good it's a little scary. The La Scala II is an astonishingly good system when paired with the correct up stream components. It's to the point now where I have, for the time being, shelved my immediate plans to get a modded Jubilee in a desperate search for the sound I have been looking for and I am going to stay with the LS for a long while. This all after I added the VRD to my NBS. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHusky79 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Exquisite, absolutely gorgeous. Wishing you many years of listening pleasure. I believe, I note the wood aroma in the air.Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Stock first gen LS are about 125lbs. Those are beautiful speakers. Schu, did you get yours replaced or do you still have the damage? Bruce 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I decided on taking money back in return for keeping the damaged units. Mechanically they are perfect, cosmetically not so much. Sometimes it bothers me, most of the time it does not because where else would I be able to get a pair of LSii's for <$1500. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 First harvest of Padrons. These are Spanish "tapas" peppers that are typically mild, but every once in a while you'll get a hot one....Fry them in a hot cast iron pan with good olive oil then sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Awesome. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, only about 1 out of 10 are relatively hot, and sometimes not even that many. Really has nothing to do with it. You should try growing a plant or two, I'd bet they'd do really well in your weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I think that is good idea, I do love hot stuff. maybe start with Jalapenos, as long as they are not ornamental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the ornamentals are pretty hot, you just have to get the edible ornamentals, I think most are. They love hot weather, they would probably grow great in your area, mine would start slow in the spring but when it turns hot they grow much faster. I use them instead of annual's.

Nah, don't bother with the common stuff like Jalapenos or Serranos, those are cheap at the grocery store.....Look for something unusual like Thai Dragon peppers, Carolina Reapers, Trinidad Scorpions, or, one that I found this year for the first time, Jalabaneros, a cross between Jalapeno and Habanero. I would imagine that you've got some pretty good plant nurseries out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul79 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Jalabaneros..... I have had these allot and absolutely love them. Not so much for the heat, which is excellent, but the amazing flavor that they have. Chop one in half, cook it in a pot of chili, and game over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
