However, I would rather have a speaker that is designed for the room dimensions I have to work with. I have heard systems where the owners have tried to shoehorn a "large" speaker (10 lbs of s*^t in a 5 lb bag?) in a space that's too small. The OPs room just doesn't seem "big speaker friendly". JMHO...... Shakey I respectfully 100% disagree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage_Head Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I will agree that the khorns with no mod need corners and the speaker does need to physically fit 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But big speakers exciting room nodes when the volume is cranked to a realistic level is not a fun thing. Not every speaker works in every instance.

Don't get me wrong the room imo is as important as the speaker. And needs to be considered always. Bigger high spl speakers like big horn klipsch can make room issues even more important/issue to deal with. But big kpt402 horns can work fine in small or big rooms. But the size of the room and the treatments always need to be considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 And your right not all speakers work well in every condition (outside, inside, or what ever). But bigger klipsch work just fine in smaller rooms performance wise if set up right (room and system). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm late to the game here and I didn't read all the comments by any means, but I really think in that room, heresy placement needs a lot more experimentation. Those are damn good speakers in my opinion and I could happily live with them as my only speakers, even without a sub. I'll take a quick look back at what you didn't like as I'm curious now.

No, enjoy those speakers! Others may chime in, @jimjimbo may share his thoughts on the heresy IIIs. I'm telling you they are damn good and if you like them, keep them. They are very impressive speakers IMO, especially in that space from the looks (I can tell by the rack in between and the dog the "scale" ). Forte IIIs in there will be a mistake IMO with the glare in the upper mid/ lower treble and the spacing in between the speakers being so close will make thay obnoxious. Cornwalls and larger won't have space in between either. You have got the right speakers in there IMO unless you really hate them for some reason after placement and or component experimentation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do certainly enjoy my H3s, but obviously night and day difference from La Scala. The H3s are a bit less efficient and are less dynamic and in your face if you will, than LS, especially with live music. I'd say get the LS and keep the H3s. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heresies are great if you like a loudspeaker that only reproduces down to 50 hz. For some of us, that just isn't good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think the LA scalas would be basically touching each other in that room or only a couple feet apart? Reason I stated what I did.

MEH Synergy Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Going back and reading, it sounds like you do have the room to allow LA scalas space in between speakers. If you run the 19' wall, is that then 10' of depth? Guessing based on one pic and room dimensions given. La scalas don't plumb the depths either and would still require a sub for what you claim you want ("below 50 hz"). And you have a sub already....

Bah Humbug!! In an apartment.... never really let them 'breath'.... but given that AND given the acoustically superior space I had () they actually sounded quite fabulous. For scale, that's (if I recall) a 52/53 inch screen between them. Ya do what you have to do!!! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
