mowntnbkr Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Besides another pair of LaScala's, what is a good match to go with them. I am looking at some Cornwall and also Fortes and Chorus. Am I looking in the right direction with these? Also an update. I have listened for a few days with my new Bob Crite xovers. I put one xover in and left an old AL in there and listened for a while. It became readily apparent that the tweeter has a harshness to it with the old AL's, but with the AA in there it seems to take the edge off of it. ALso all around they have a warmer/richer sound to them. I am going to hang on to the type AL's just so I can say they are original, but the AA's give a more pleasurable sound. And oh yeah, my model 14 crossovers are on their way home to me tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Any Heritage, the older the better, the bigger the horn the better. So CW, or Heresy would be natural choices, buy based on bass needed and floor space. Lots of guys here use Heresy successfully with LS, CW, or KH mains. A newer Heritage type such as Forte or Chorus wouldn't be as close of match up due to the type of horn employed and the passive radiator system, but they'd be better than Epic or Reference by far.

mowntnbkr Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 Thanks for the input. I am going to use my heresy's as centers and it looks like CW's are going to be the next step then. Now just to find some in the western US so I can keep shipping costs down somewhat. The model 14's will find a nice home in my shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 That should be excellent. Just keep posting your WTB here and we'll find ya something.... There's a thread on using Heresy as center. I think the best advice is use both woofers and disconnect one set of mid/tweets. That way you balance the low end and get better imaging from a single point source of highs. Place them side by side on floor right by back wall for most bass.

TBrennan Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 The best match for LaScalas would be one applied to a pile of kindling surrounding them.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Mr. Brennan hates LaScalas with a passion. He likes to jab at them any chance he can get. I got to know him rather well over this debate in the now infamous (and deceased) Ratings Thread. I've been dismissed.... putz that I am!

mowntnbkr Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 I thought about more LaScala's, but have my eye on a pair of CW's, then it will be all Heritage HT. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookman Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Chorus makes a good center for the big horns. I moved my Heresys to surround w/ Chorus at center and SB,Khorns at main. The sound is HD. I thought the Heresy was a good timber match(at center), but the sound too shallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jheis Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Personally, I like the combination of La Scalas and Cornwalls. The Cornwalls make up for any perceived lack of bass in the La Scalas and the La Scalas make up for any mid range deficiency from the Cornwalls. Everybody is happy. Add in a pair of Heresys for surround and all is good. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
