La Scalas Really Made My Room (or not)

[SWL]

I found that dropping the mids few few dB that they are more balanced and good at any volume, but perhaps 70-80 dB are really, really good.

I've found that with every Klipsch I've owned/heard.

The APT-150 sounds really good but I prefer the Selenium D220TI with a butt cheek horn. I have both. I have no problem with tweeter sitting on top of cab. As above poster said the tweeter can be better aligned with the mid horn.

The La Scalas were never harsh (maybe when I got my first set, but they had AL crossovers). The first set from '89 looked beautiful and sounded great once I replaced the crossovers. While I awaited parts and built the DHA2 crossovers, I had a pair of ALK universals on loan from @JohnA (I think they were universals). They sounded fine, even at lower volumes. I know they weren't Al's extreme slope design. The DHA2 crossovers were designed by John. Time and circumstances lead me to sell the '89s.

 

I kept the crossovers as the new owner put in some of Deans models. When I found some beater LS (the cabinets were about all I got), I slowly acquired parts and set them up, again with the DHA2 crossovers, almost new K-33s, K-400 mid horns with EV 1828 drivers (Klipsch also used those for a while, and the Eminence APT150 tweeter (an APT50 driver on a 100x50 horn). It all sounds great at any level in any room they've been in, powered by everything from 3.5 watt SET amps, 35 watt Crown and 300 watt Crown.

@Marvel Hey Bruce,

 

I did my best. I you want me to rename this thread to something else I will, just something off the top of my head to move these posts to while keeping your thread intact and in line with the general intent of your original post.
