jbmoonchild Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) I'm in the market for some La Scalas for my living room stereo system / television setup. I listen to a lot of music in there and I'm real excited about the La Scalas on that front. However, we also use the living room speakers as our TV mains. We aren't big movie people so it's mostly good old Netflix and HBO shows. I'd like to add a center channel to the setup, mostly because I really appreciate having a "dedicated" dialogue channel when watching TV. It seems like the suggestions here would mostly be to buy a third La Scala or buy a Heresy to fill in that center channel. My issue is that we really don't have room for a full floor standing speaker like that as we have a nice TV stand setup. What makes the MOST sense for us is to have the La Scalas a mains and to add some sort of traditional center bar like the R-34C. Just how much of a disaster will that be? I know the reference line and the heritage stuff don't "match" but am I better off with NO center channel or with a center channel that sounds a little brighter than the mains? Any other options or ideas? The wife really doesn't want to adjust our TV stand setup so getting rid of the TV stand to add a Heresy isn't really an option.

The Dude Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 You could also look for a Klipsch KLF-C7 or Academy. Both have been known to work well. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284441476935?hash=item423a087f47:g:jLcAAOSwPkthNovw https://www.ebay.com/itm/304141449321?hash=item46d03e3869:g:wdMAAOSwT5dhItFL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Try no center at first. Toe in the LaScalas and you'll get an amazing center image. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtr20 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I second the klf-c7 or Academy center channel. If you go new, don't with something available at Best Buy. Go with the RP reference premier) line, not the regular reference line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
