haydukej Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I've pieced together what I hear is a decent, mix-matched HT. My LRs are 78' La Scalas and ideally I would acquire a 3rd for the center; however, I went for the biggest screen I could fit which is 120" and that is limiting my height for a center. I'm currently using a RC-35 and RF-25 for surrounds. Now for my wondering with room treatments being equal. Suppose I could get a good deal on a RP-450C. Would this be a better match than the RC-35 for the LSs? I assume a single Heresy would be better timbre matched, but would it be your choice out of all the center options? Or would holding out for an RC-64/ii be the best option. Thanks, Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted October 31, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 31, 2017 Hey Justin, The Heresy would be the next best center if you cannot accommodate a third LaScala. Reference speakers have completely different drivers and sound quality as the LaScalas which would not make them the best fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted October 31, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 31, 2017 Sometime down the road, if you find a good deal on a single LaScala, you could always move to an Acoustic Transparent screen. I'm using LaScala Trio behind a 150" AT Screen (see my signature for photos and a video tour). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Will a Belle fit? If not heresy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydukej Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 I think I have about 26 inches from floor to frame of the screen, so a belle is a no go. A heresy should just fit with a bit to spare. For a moment I was wondering if I could turn a la scala on its side, but without the squaker and tweeter on top, it might look a tad silly and lose a bunch of the horizontal coverage. Thanks for the input fellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tromprof Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I used a La Scala positioned on its side for a center. Worked just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
