Subs for La Scala's?

[MMurg]

The picture from Facebook is apparently a prototype of a Heritage subwoofer.  I saw the post.  Roy was at Audio Advice in NC apparently demoing the thing.

Your imaging would be so much better if you’d pull the speakers forward about a ft or so. You’ve got way too much stuff in between them. It really does make a difference.

 

Actually I’d go 2 ft.

Thank you for the suggestion Shakeydeal, they image perfectly after many..many months of tweaking the imaging is so good my wife puts her ear up to the center AL5 because she swears it’s playing when it’s not.  I also get great depth and on some tunes it makes me jump a bit in my seat as the sounds appear to come from above or behind.  I tried your suggestion when I first got them and in my room the center collapsed.

Well I guess if you are using the system for movies too, that makes sense. If just for music, I still say they'd sound better more forward. As for me, I will live with a sound bar/sub in the living room and leave the serious system doing what it's supposed to do.

Just a thought, if quite recently Roy/Klipsch launched a very thoughtful KJH that reaches 18 Hz, then I would test or make use of the same principles to achieve real and high quality bass down to 28 Hz (sufficient for most of music) with a smaller cabinet which fits a LaScala system.

The poster on Facebook mentioned that there was a second smaller Heritage sub prototype that he forgot to photograph.

Perhaps a misunderstanding. My post was referring to the sub in the photo...compared to the KHJ. Quasi as the smaller target size and not as a criticism, it would be too big. But well, if there is an even smaller prototype version, all the better if it can meet the requirements.

Maybe I was misunderstanding you.  Just to be clear for everyone, according to person who posted it on Facebook, the sub in the photo is a prototype of a forthcoming Heritage subwoofer that Roy was demoing at Audio Advice Live.  He also mentioned that there was a second smaller prototype off to the side that he forgot to photograph.  So, the implication is that a line of Heritage subwoofers is planned with at least two models.  Perhaps @Chief bonehead could comment now as this was a public demo, so some information is now out "in the wild".

 

Slightly off topic, @Chief bonehead - You asked me for ideas for a new Chief Bonehead class.  A class on the R&D and demo sessions on this Heritage sub line would be another good one.  I'd attend for sure.  🙂

IAC, a good idea, to work on a horn sub, or 2. Chief and his Midas touch... witness the Heritage Jubilee... thanks.

Nope, way to small, 4 of those would be a little closer.

 

I don't think so, still way to small for a 1202,  must be something new.

 

But a horn so I like it already.

So Gee Whiz...watched the whole Vid with Jill..what the heck is it? @Chief bonehead

[OO1]

who wouda thunk this was ever going to happen a week ago  ,  PWK  Heritage  horn subs ......dang 

[Chief bonehead]

There will 4 in the line. One to go with khorns and la scalas. One to go with Cornwalls, fortes and heresys. And two smaller ones. All based on the hornloaded vented system. They sound a little different……

when will the horn sub be ready for the Forte IV?

[babadono]

@Chief bonehead cool...will the KHorn model adapt/suffice with my UG Jubes? I kind of would like to have an all Klipsch system and get rid of my older Danleys

Thanks for the update...

Oh yes. It will go also go good with underground Jubs….

[Chief bonehead]

Like @MMurg suggested, maybe we will have a bonehead class on this……

Oh, WOW! I can't come up with anything better... (than WOW!)
