Hasty Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I just installed A55g midrange drivers into my 1990 LaScalas. These have the Crites 4500 crossovers and CT-125 tweeters I put in 3-4 years ago. I was going to test them out, but my playstation started a system update when I turned it on. The suspense is killing me. Haha I'll offer my opinions after listening for some time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Double blind testing without using your memory or it doesn't count 😛 By the way, what was wrong with your k-55's? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEH Synergy Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Never. Last I checked, it's the nature of the beast here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus89 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Do let us know your thoughts. I'm considering the A55G myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasty Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Initial impressions.. The mids are more detailed and natural sounding. Imaging is better. The mid range is also not quite as forward sounding which seems to make the speaker more balanced in a LaScala. I've had these speakers for several years and listen to music through them ~3 hours on average every day, so I'm intimately aware of how they sounded prior to the change. In short, is it better? Yes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlipschFan61 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I did a similar upgrade to my '78 La Scalas. You will notice a more laid-back presentation as the squawker isn't going to try and reach up as high now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KlipschFan61 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) Crossover went from 6k to 4.5.k Edit: I also missed the "I put in 3-4 years ago" part so I assumed he was installing them all at once. Sorry for the confusion. https://critesspeakers.com/bk-sound-type-a4500-crossov.html Edited October 14, 2018 by KlipschFan61 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
