Woodog Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I just get to look at 'em in the back of the vehicle tonight. My wife won't help me lug 'em upstairs till tomorrow...maybe never. Man, I can't wait to hear them or the new amp you have for the Corns, either. Is this a veneer job wanting to happen? Getting them to keep? I can't help but think that you'll get hooked on horn loaded bass. Woo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS Button Posted October 23, 2005 Author Share Posted October 23, 2005 They really do not need much in the way of cosmetics, if you like black speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Good score Todd! Please post some pix when you can and give detailed listening tests of CW vs LS. I find the sounds so different, but both good- that I still have both pairs residing in my living room side by side. DrWho was over yesterday and we built a wiring harnes for my Niles speaker selector box. This one has six channels with volume controls, so you can take the efficiency difference out of the comparison and listen just for sound quality. We had LS,LS/AA, CW, RB5, CF3, RB3II hooked up - awesome listening experience. How about that veneer? Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS Button Posted October 23, 2005 Author Share Posted October 23, 2005 Really need some help and advice here. I've just hooked them up, with the Alnico 77's laying on Top, new diaphragms via Crites. Well, it didn't take but a couple of seconds, some horrible rattling going on in the bass section of one: what could it be? Voice coil? Immediate impression, sounds like "Cornwalls" on tubes. Hard to tell though, can't turn 'em up, without that awful rattle in one. How do I get to that woofer?, through the bottom? BS-Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lwhaples Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 BS ,Your joking right? ( Immediate impression, sounds like "Cornwalls" on tubes) Hope it works out though. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS Button Posted October 23, 2005 Author Share Posted October 23, 2005 No, I'm not joking. another impression Norah Jones is here, in the room, with the LaScala's. Norah Jones is in an auditorium or somewhere else with the Cornwalls. Both sound good, got to attack that rattle, though for final impressions.

heresy2guy Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 The monstrous, seemingly magical, La Scala squawker is responsible for that "live, right-there" sound. So you see, size DOES matter (lol). [] -H2G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwhaples Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 BS, You ARE right about looking good. I still have some BEC AA/A networks to sell if you think you need them down the road. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Todd, TURN THE STEREO DOWN and pick up the phone, I'm trying to call you to help with your LaScala situation. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Todd. I just caught this thread. Man those look waaayyy better than the Black ones I had. So you are having some driver blues. Sorry to hear that. At least that problem is fixable. Takin the woofer out of a Scala can be a bear though. Let us know what's up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psg Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Getting to the woofer: First see if the crossover sits on a sealed panel. Hopefully it doesn't. Then lie it on its back and see if there's an access panel there. If so, that's the way in. If the panel is under the crossover, you need to uncrew the leads to the crossover, then unscrew and remove the crossover, then unscrew the mid-horn from the front of the speaker (easier if you unhook the speaker wires from the the mid driver and unscrew the mid driver first), then remove the access panel.
