Cathedral Guitar Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Some of us have so many Klipsch Heritage speakers that the thought of a line array comes to mind. Say you were going to stack some La Scala, would there be an advantage to stacking them sidewise for more efficient bass bin horn contact? Or could/should one speaker stacked be upside down? Is there a best way to stack these besides the obvious upright orientation? Thanks for any thoughts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Let's take 2 scenarios -----1)- LaScala 1 -piece cabs------ and 2) Lascala split cabs 3) a mix of both 1 piece and Split Lascalas 1 Picture shows you the 3 scenarios - --1)- LaScala 1 -piece cabs----you would get better imaging if one speaker is stacked upside down given the mids -HF would be one on top of the other , but that could also be the same if the cabs are also one on top of the other normally , you would have to try both options and see which is best - 2) Lascala split cabs you could place 2 bass bins one on top of the other and 2 top hats one on top of each other -for optimal sound 3) a mix of both 1 piece and Split Lascalas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cathedral Guitar Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 I'm in a 12' x 20' x 8' but I am in a little bit of an unconventional situation as I want to listen to music all day while working from home. but my best spot for internet is not the best spot in the room for listening. Luckily, I only have 3x LaScala, but I can stack 3x sideways to make one line array. I kind of like the wall of sound listening concept. I thought I would ask for ideas before attempting any heavy lifting, but so far from the examples, my brain is thinking of some good scenarios, although in my situation there is a chance all the speakers will be behind me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, even YOU knew that!!! Now I'm embarrassed. Does that mean I don't need a subwoofer anymore??? (trick question, Carl always needs a subwoofer or two or three....)

Should sound good of course from anywhere. Good idea to have a plan in place. Any specific questions for the guys and dolls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
