jbsl Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 For anyone who has La Scalas here is a mod that made a big difference in the sound. I built a 2 foot by 2 foot 7 inch high riser for each speaker. Before the riser the tweeter was at my chin level and the mid horn was at my upper chest while sitting on my couch. Now with the riser the tweeter is just above my eye level and the mid horn is centered on my ear level. This really helped with some of the harshness people say La Scalas have since the tweeter is closes to your ears and the bass bin is at your leg level the sound field is lower. If you have a room that lets you put your chair back 15-20 feet you would probably not need this mod. But I'm 10 feet away so it helps alot!! I have 2 70 pound sand bags under the rug(need to find a better rug) that is supose to be another tweak. But since I'm not going to be heaving 140 pounds of sand off each speaker and listen and then put 140 pounds of sand back on each speaker and compare the difference I'll say it helps just for my ego. Not sure of the height of the Cornwalls but this might work also. Xman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 The factory 20's looked pretty good, but they won't put them on with the DVD system. 22's would definately be bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
