JohnJ Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Might be just me, but you gotta utilize what you have. Spread `em, The LS are magnificent to hear.

Heritage_Head Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Re arrange the room or don't. You will be fine on both fronts. I have done the flip flop in rooms that were long triangles. It can be good both ways. 10'ish is plenty for La scalas. I have read making an even distance (the distance between the middle of each speakers and the distance where the person is seated away from the speakers to be the same). Im sure this is a good starting point and probably not the best in every case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am less enamored of the opening to the right of the room. That's never a good thing. But sometimes you have to make do. My upstairs is an open floor plan and the acoustics absolutely suck. I'm so glad I don't have to set up a serious music system in that room. Shakey i have 2 bass traps on stands that can block the archway for critical listening I often sit near field and found it less than a problem. plus i'm lazy to move them all the time.

Sounds like you've got a pretty good handle on your room's acoustics and limitations. That's a good place to be. Most people never fully understand how the room contributes to the final result, or what to do to improve it. Shakey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say you are not going to notice the difference between the sound the old squawker and tweeter of the older(used) heritage models and the K402 on the Jubilee is non sense. Or you are deaf.

'76 LS and H/K 630 The old HK twin powered receivers sound great, I love that sound, we use one for Cornwalls. You need to build yourself a nice little sub one day, it does not need to be crazy just to add a little bottom end to the Lascalas especially at low volume. You could connect it into that HK with rca connectors. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage_Head Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Now that I think of it the tape out wouldn't work for this. It would be a set volume and would only work if you were able to turn the volume up or down from a source. Like I use to have one of the first denon cd players that had a volume control. I chained amps with the tape outs and set all the amps at about 1 o'clock and used the cd volume. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
