Full Range Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 As an owner of highly modified La Scala speakers I can concur with a couple of statements on that article Quote Garbage in – garbage out was never more relevant than it is with these speakers. I’ve never heard a more amplifier sensitive speaker. But when you get it right, you’ll be jumping around your listening room Quote Trust me; you’ll never have nearly as much fun with a $200,000 pair of Wilson XLFs as you’ll have with a pair of $1,500 vintage LaScalas. And I have heard a pair of Wilsons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfxmla Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 I've auditioned Wilson's as well and can say the staging and sound was stellar. I can't compare them to LS' though as I have not heard them in the same set up, but that is a pretty terrific statement [emoji4]Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 @Full Range, Do they sound as good as they look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I believe I saw several different pairs of the Wilsons at the Chicago Audio show a couple of years ago. Beautiful in person, and beautiful full spectrum sound that was evident from low to a modestly high volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeJ1 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Mr. Wilson was a HUGE Paul Klipsch fan. I heard their best a few years back, but the Sadurni Horns trounced them at 1/4 the price ($40,000). Although they are "super TWEAKED" in every way imaginable, they are still Bass Reflex with direct radiators and cannot compare to an all horn system's scary DYNAMICS, which, to me is the LIFE of real live music. Sorry Mr. Wilson. So, y'all wanna simply PUSH air or you wanna SQUEEZE it with super light diaphragms and response to a Milliwatt? Klipsch and Danley, all the way!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actualy they would come out equal in most circumstances but different due to design My "modified" La Scala are more defined and excel in highly complex multi layer music passages and better in low volume definition But the Wilson go down further in the lower register so they beat the La Scala in that area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not with a horn sub under a LaScala they don't. They also get trounced in the DYNAMICS department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure if are for the La Scala camp or for the Wilson camp with your answer Suffice to say that with the modifications in my La Scala, they can reach to low 30s htz - but very accurate and pleasing htz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Claude is in the horn loaded camp. I believe he's saying the Wilsons won't go lower than La Scalas with horn loaded subs and that horn loaded beats the Wilsons in dynamics. If you inferred that he was implying that your specific modified La Scalas couldn't keep up -- or more precisely down -- with the Wilsons, I feel you're mistaken. If I'm wrong, Claude will correct me. My experience acting as a translator between a French-Canadian and an Aussie is limited. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
