Robbie010 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Now that I have gone active with my clone La Scala, overall sensitivity and crossovers are no longer a concern and a world of driver options has opened up to me. I have already installed Crites CT120 Tweeters, which has given the top end a real boost and clarity. This has got me thinking..... is there a drop-in 15” woofer driver on the market that will replace the stock K33’s and get me closer to 20Hz without needing physical alterations to the cabs?

wuzzzer Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 No. If there was, Klipsch and everyone else with LaScalas would have already done it. It's the physical limitations of its folded horn. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The La Scala is not the “anti-bass speaker“. And, the K 43 does not go as low as the K 33, so obviously Randy you don’t know what you are talking about, as usual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own more pairs of La Scalas now and have in the past than you can possibly imagine. And I don’t say that at all to brag, it is simply a fact. Please do not purport to speak for me.

baron167 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I own LS speakers , and they need a sub for decent bassI have to somewhat agree. I think they have decent bass. I played my La Scalas for a few years in different positions and rooms and was completely happy with them. Thrilled, even. Moved by them. Excellent imaging. I love how quick and tight the bass is. Fantastic mids and highs. Or so I thought...I tried a little experiment with 2 subs I had on hand and guess what? They are still in use 99.9% of the time with my La Scalas. I never thought they could sound better, but the subs take them to another level.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricktate Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I dont think LaScalas lack bass It all boils down to what you got powering them. I never tested them with fancy testing stuff but the HK series receivers make them sound awesome. I use to have cornwalls they sound good but cant keep up with the LaScalas in sound I dont think. I could not find factory graph for cornwall maybe some one here has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanksjim1 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 As I understand it, the early LaScalas also came with the Jensen P15LL woofer, ...anyone with knowledge of how these sound compared to other K-33s in the LS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
