murali-reddy Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 i am new to Klipsch heritage speakers, owning La Scala AL5 for over a month. I am still dialing in the speakers. You may have seen my earlier questions too sorry for the barrage of questions. I tried adding decouplers and isolators (like isoacoustics orea/pug) between the upper and lower cabinets. I can see improvements in clarity and focus. Not sure if any one of the la scala owners do add isolation/decouplers. Please share your experience. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KT88 Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 I don't have AL5s but an old LaScala where I can't separate anything mechanically. But my 2 cents. Others who have an AL5 may have more valuable contributions. Two things come to mind. Firstly, I would say that a greater distance caused by decoupling is not necessarily a benefit. In my experience, it's always good when the individual sections, mids and bass, are close together so that the overall sound doesn't fall apart whereby, on the other hand, the decoupling elements do not create such a large distance. But on the other hand, it could be that the passive Xover and its parts vibrate less due to the decoupling and that the sound could become clearer as a result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 Ive had a couple pairs of LSii's and I can not fathom any reason to decouple the top hats from the bass bins... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
