Tom Mobley Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Sounds like a certifiable Klipsch Acquisition Adventure to me. I drove futher but the weather was good, and no mortar rounds came near me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piranha Posted February 28, 2004 Author Share Posted February 28, 2004 Here's a close up of my other newborn. Funny, I don't remember my other two being so darn heavy! No MDF here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrench_peddler Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 That looks like plain old boiled linseed oil finish to me. Are the color stripes on the dog house sprayed on or are they just part of the wood? It could be a sprayed on lacquer but the color and the fact that the grain is showing so well on the board around the mids and tweets make me think it is just boiled linseed oil.

Obviously there is absolutely no comparison between the Heresy and the big ole horns. Don't get me wrong here, the Heresy is a fine speaker for it's price point. But, it is not in the same league as the larger horns. I think the CW's have more and deeper bass than the LaScala. But the LaScala is a much larger sounding speaker, and it has much clearer, crisper, and more detailed mids and highs. I am presuming that the BIG sound of the LS's is due to their effeciency rating (104db vs. 98db for the CW). I like both speakers a lot. It would be very hard for me to chose which one I like better at this stage. They are both excellent speakers. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. Both do certain things well. I say, pick your poison. I like them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White01L Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Great pictures. Nice speakers, now all you need are some Khorns in there. Nice to see those all together in one picture, sure helps to give perspective to the size of these speakers. I have been thinking about some Las to replace the Heresy's I am using in my home theater as surronds. Have khorn mains and belle center (with another belle in reserve if I ever go 6.1). The surronds get drowned out, imagine that, even though I have adjusted my receiver to deamphasize the fronts and center and emphasize the surrounds. The little heresy's just can't keep up. After seeing the picture of the corns, Las, and heresy together I dont think I have enough room to use LAS as surrounds. Perhaps I should buy 3-4 more heresy's and use those for all positions in the HT. (yea I would still keep the big horns for stereo listeningin that room and put the belles back in the den for stereo listeneing there).

Piranha Posted February 28, 2004 Author Share Posted February 28, 2004 Just cut the LaScala in half and you have the Cornwall footprint. Pretty close anyways. The LS is a very deep speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mobley Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Yes, the LS cabinet is deep, it's the K-400 horn in there that makes it that way. But, it pays off. That a very nice looking pair of LS, that's just what the ones here looked like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorjen Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Congratulations on your new babies Tom! I was wondering if you were going to hit some nasty weather heading up there. Do you take 99 or I5 when you head North? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piranha Posted February 28, 2004 Author Share Posted February 28, 2004 Thanks Jordan. i took the 5 to the 50. i used to take the 99 many years ago. The 99 is slow going. Way too many 18 wheelers heading up and down that four lane to and from the San Joquain Valley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piranha Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 Man O Man, these LaScala's sound awesome with SS! They have huge sound there's no denying that. I am still hard very pressed to say that they blow the Cornwall away, but I really do like them a lot. And the price was right. I think something is wrong with my Scott 272 though. The left channel is real weak compared to the right?? Thanks FedEx!!!! I'd like to thank rf3iicrazy for introducing me to "Blue Man Group", The Complex, and to Craig for reintroducing me to "Dire Straits", self titled, while at Smilin's home in Chicago. I still want to pick up a copy of that rare Sgt. Pepper's LP that MarkBK's friend Dan brought to Smilin's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have room for surround La Scalas, do you have room for surround Belles? Otherwise, your idea of going with an all-Heresy HT is excellent.
