jjhaz@ont.com Posted October 8, 2001 Share Posted October 8, 2001 Which speakers would a better choice for front mains? Cornwalls or La Scala's. Would it better to have Cornwalls for front ann rear with RS-7 for sides? Any advice welcome, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShapeShifter Posted October 8, 2001 Share Posted October 8, 2001 Jeff, Never having heard LaScalas I can't comment on them. I do believe they'd make fine fronts based on previous comments from other users on this forum. I can state that I do love my 4 Cornwall setup, which includes RS-3's for rears as well. Having matching fronts & rears provides a great transition of sound from front to rear, and the RS-3's add that WDST ambience when watching movies. For HT watching they fill the rear area nicely with sound that's not localized to the rear Cornwalls. So I'm a bit biased toward the 4 Cornwall setup. I'd also like to have RC-7's for rear & sides additions as well.

J M O N Posted October 8, 2001 Share Posted October 8, 2001 Both speakers are excellent. The main difference between the two is that the La Scala has a basshorn, while the Cornwall uses a vented direct radiator for the bass section. This means that the La Scala will sound a little more dynamic in the bass area, and has a little bit tighter bass, but the Cornwall will go deeper. Overall, I think I prefer the sound of the La Scala SLIGHTLY over the Cornwall, but I do notice the lack of low bass in comparison to the Cornwall.
