Although the price is not yet determined, I expect a favorable price given the fact that one speaker has a blemish on the veneer. It's something I don't mind, by the way. Next week, I will be testing some amplifiers, and I also want to listen to the Lascala as I'm really interested in it. Maybe I'll even trade in my CW4 for the Lascala AL-5. Arethere people who have been able to directly compare the CW4 with the Lascala AL-5? What are your findings? Where did the Lascala excel compared to the CW4, and what might the CW4 be better at than the Lascala? I listen to tube amplifiers and have a living room that is 12 meters deep and 5.5 meters wide. The speakers are positioned in the middle of the long wall. I mainly listen to organic music, jazz, blues, vocals, acoustic music, and light pop. I know that the Lascala produces less bass, and my intention is not to add a subwoofer to the system. One question I have is, even though I'm not a bass-head, whether the lack of low-end will be a problem for the type of music I listen to. Was the dealer atubehighfidelity in Almere? So after listening to the Lascala's.Was it worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's correct, that was them. And yes, I really love the sound of the AL5!! Unfortunately, I have a little issue around 100Hz-150Hz which makes the speaker less enjoyable. But I'm working on it and I assume this will be resolved. Not counting this little issue, I am very happy with these speakers. So I presume you are Dutch? 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flevoman Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 @Maggie If you've already listened to the Jubilee, it's pointless to then listen to the La Scala 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flevoman Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 You should actually go there and listen again. They've changed the space and improved both the acoustics and the speaker setup. Whether bigger is always better, I doubt. But the Jubilee does sound noticeably better than the AL5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
