Droogne Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I recently started with a huge LaScala home-theatre build, and with I had the idea to make a custom center speaker. The LaScala is beautiful speaker, but also pretty high... The TV would sit too high for my liking, which made me wondering. How would I be able to lower this? This lead me to a thread which proposed a LaScala center which uses the mid and high range horns and drivers, and the exact same cabinets. Instead of 1 bassbin they would use 2, one one each side. This would of course solve my problem as it would put the tv one foot lower. I will be able to test this in a few weeks, which I will ofcourse do. Problem is that I would want to order all the bass bins in one big order, as my carpenter would give me a huge discount. So I though ask you guys! Would this work? Or is there no telling? Could I fix the problem of directivity by maybe toeing in the 2 bass bins? Crossovers would be active. Other option I though off was a custom made, adapted CornScala with the drivers outside the cabinet, and the bass cabinet on it's side. This would be a half a foot higher though.. If you have other suggestions I would love to hear them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droogne Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 Or could a custom heresy with double 12" woofers work too? It might bring the sensitivity closer to the LaScalas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Droogne Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 They do look like some awesome bins! Problem is they are waaaay to deep, 115cm (44,75 inch). My couch would be at an ideal 7-8 feet distance from the tv, so this bin would be to close I think. It would also protrude pretty hard into the living room.. Maybe a some similar designs that are wider bbut have less depth? 12 hours ago, JohnA said: Half an MWM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droogne Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Or what about using a passive subwoofer that could reach to 500hz? With the correct EQ I could get them flat and SPL matched to the mid/high of the LaScala. For example the Behringer Eurocom CL212S, it costs about the same as the LaScala bass bin and is only 1 foot 4". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
