Coytee Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Years ago, I had a single LaScala shipped to me. It was double boxed... freight was right at $200 (maybe the seller ate some??) It arrived the same day....indeed, on the same truck as the Jubilee's arrived so it didn't get much love at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCBob Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 OK La Scala experts... I have a question. In a online video shot at the Klipsch factory , they show a woofer being installed in the dog-house, and then in the next shot, they show a guy shoving in a big hunk of acoustical foam in before it gets closed up. I've never seen a foam inside the dog-house of any Klipsch La Scala, or even a La Scala clone, What's the story? Is this something brand new for the AL5?

Is this something brand new for the AL5? the dog house is larger than ideal, the foam does two things, it eats up some internal volume and it prevents the cavity from resonating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCBob Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 I have both La Scala's now!! One sits on the south side of my garage where there's plenty of room, and one sits on the north side, where there is zero room. My solution was to section the bottom out of a existing 24" x 24" x 96" cabinet on the north wall and shove the La Scala in there...... as well as the Sanaui AU-9500. It all fits wonderfully, and sounds nuts!! Thankyou PWK!!! I 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 she actually likes the looks of the folded horn bass bins.... surprised me, too I had figured they would end up in my "man cave" and made plans for it... Women?!? I like them, but will never understand them. I know to count on them being contrary, for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
