thomwake Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I have been following many threads on this forum for awhile now (approx. 1 year) and I have gotten a lot of valuable information. Today I decided to join in because I have finally decided to construct my own set of LaScalas. I know what you are all thinking - Oh boy here we go again. In many areas I'm sure that you're right. But one area I am very skilled in is construction. I have been a professional cabinet/furniture maker for 19 years so I don't anticipate any problems there. But I still have questions. My biggest question is can I integrate a pair of LaScalas into a entertainment center? Room is not a problem. The dimensions of the center are 14'x 8'x 46". So, my question is: are there any concerns with my plan? Oh, BTW I already have all the components needed to build a pair of speakers; 2 K33-E woofers, 2 K55-m sqwakers, 2 k77 tweeters and a pair of home made x-overs (used ALK plans). So what do you think?

dodger Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Welcome to the Forum> Glad you posted. I've owned 2 pair of LaScalas, so there's no here we go again, not to worry. Both pair were in a 2 channel system 1 pair atop the other with the top pair inverted. As I am one to favor corner placement that would be a concern. Toe-in is a factor. The "sweet spot" would be my next. From your post I'm not sure what you'll have for Center. I would have a concern for weight if you decide to move, or change placement. If you've thought of the issues I brought up, my next would be shielding. Then I would wonder about whether you plan on a sub. After that, depending on design, I really don't see any reason not to go with what YOU want. All of those questions can be answered in your design. I note them as what I would consider. Good Luck. Post some pics when done. dodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 are you planning on making the "lascalas" physically part of the entertainment center? Or do you plan on making them seperately and placing them on top or inside? Considering that you have all the parts, why aren't you building some khorns instead?

dodger Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I believe that the folds and additional height may be factors in that idea. But having them in corners and going from there would be unique. Some are happy with LaScalas. dodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(at least I think it's Q-Man with that insane setup...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
