YK Thom Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 That was a good review. His mention of the Rex brought back some memories. Have been there many times over the years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom05 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Yep, it was a good review , but he was just stating the obvious, if he had written a bad review on the Klipsch , it would have implied that there are better more capable speakers out there , but I can’t really think of any speaker that compares to the Lascala, there really in a class of there own . 🤓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I noticed that the reviewer commented on the Lascalas not imaging well like many modern speakers do. Not the first time I have heard this, why would this be the case? Is it the wide baffle? I've read that the wide baffle Orangutans and the other apes series from Devore image well. The horns themselves or are they just incorrect? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The horns themselves or are they just incorrect? Imaging can be greatly affected by wall proximity , distance between speakers and acoustics . I noticed that the reviewers room had the speakers tight to both side and back walls ( back walls being highly reflective) and too far apart for best imaging . Reflections from nearby walls tend to interact with the speakers direct sound which confuses our sense of distance and therefore the placement of instruments . I would think that a horns controlled directivity would actually be a plus to imaging. Personally I wouldn’t put to much emphasis on the reviewers comments on this because imaging results are likely to vary greatly from one room to another. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I get what he’s saying. Some speakers, especially monitors or slim towers can have pinpoint imaging. But who’s to say if that’s better? I will take realism that horns can create over exact imaging any day. I’ve had speakers with a deeper soundstage and more defined imaging. But LaScalas are some of the best Heritage speakers at that to me. It’s just not what they are best at. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Pin point... or thin. the horn profile of a Klipsch heritage has a wide dispersion... WIDE sound stage. it's a matter of taste... I prefer enveloping and wide over thin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyH Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 The review of the AL5 was done using a 20k$ amplifier ........Simaudio Moon 860A v2 Stereo/Mono Amplifier Made in Quebec ,,Canada , plus a host of very expensive gear accessories to match , definitely not your average AL5 Review . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
