imperfectcircle25 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Ive read quite a bit about the Cornwalls and Lascalas, and most people seem to agree that the Lascalas are lacking in the bass. Now when they say lacking in bass what exactly are they comparing them too. Are they lacking in bass compared a speaker with really good bass like the RF-7 or Paradigm Studio 100 or NHT 2.9's?? Are they lacking bass like a small floorstander lacks bass?? Personally I thought my RF-3's lacked bass, but many people say they have great bass?? Can someone explain what they are comparing the Lasala too when they say this? Hard to believe such a large speaker with a 15in bass driver would be lacking in the bass department?? Ive heard small speakers with 6in bass drivers that werent lacking in the bass(Totem Hawk, Forest). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmikid Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 I have now listened to LS's for a few days and I don't want anymore bass right now!!! OTOH I have heard of people that have Khorns (yes, in perfect corners) with two subwoofers as well! They may be nuts, but I sure would like to be invited some time. I have a weakness for audiophile nutcases. To me, it's enough for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerbee_vr6 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 The LaScala has such tremendous output in the mid/upper ranges that the bass can sound withdrawn by comparison. It also has relatively limited <40hz output. In terms of "fast" midbass kick however, it's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Spinner Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 they are lacking in Bass, due to the roll-off that begins at , say 70 hz ... don't expect floor shakin' bass at 35 hz do expect chest thumpin' bass at 60 hz ... and that, sums it up as far as i'm concerned ...

michael hurd Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Depends on what you call lacking in the bass department. The Lascala has good bass down to approximately 45 hz, and rolls off quickly, compared to a sealed or ported design. A good subwoofer will definately help out, especially with music that has a lot of low frequency content. I personally don't think that the Rf3II's that I have are particularly lacking in the bass department. However, they can also benefit from the use of a subwoofer, reducing the distortion at higher levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
