Timmikid Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Wow indeed... That's a tad more than just a LS mod! [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyboy Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Guys, That stuff is made in the Netherlands like me. Some on the forum have cald me a loon but i don't care. But as you can see we are not that stupid...............[] It is a very fast sounding system and is free of distortion.

126mhz Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 They do look very "Interesting," I'd love to listen to them do their thing. For the record, I've never read anyone around this board say anything bad about Holland. It's been a few years but I love Holland! (Of course how could anyone who grew up racing bicycles not love Holland?!) Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxg Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Not sure if this counts as an interesting LaScala mod or an interesting implementation of a LaScala Bass bin! Do wonder how it sounds though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 That concept isn't new and I can't tell you who came up with it first. The braces on the sides of the doghouse prevent resonance. The ported bottom mod has been done. Dennis (djk) has spoken of the optimal port of the La scala which I think was a 10 inch riser/cabinet with two 4 inch ports that are 10 inches long. Couple of guys have done this and settled on 7" ports. I would love to hear the sound or create something like that of my own. jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Bert Doppenberg makes and sell the Oris horn, shown in the pics above. I think that Welborne Labs used to carry them, but not any more. Very pricey, but nice horns. For a long time he also sold an LS bass bin for use with these, and even has his own bass driver available. Also pricey. His website has photos of systems all over the worls who are using his horns, and there are many beautiful ones out there. For example, a dentist has a set in his office, and the sweetspot is in the patient's chair. He says he stays after work to listen to music in his chair.

Daddy Dee Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Very cool implementation. Thanks Seti. I would love to hear that LaScala bass bin so modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 Thanks for the info! I have never heard lowther drivers before but would love to. The combo looks great it seems klipsch horn bas bins are very popular in the diy community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiser SET say Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 THX Marvel, my first thoughts these were just a poor mans Avant-Gardes[] When you mentioned not cheap I changed my mind[:$] Interesting concept speaker non the less[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I was wondering about the driver in the HF... anybody know what it would be? It would have to carry some freight to go as a two way with the LaScala bass bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy Dee Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Thanks Seti. wow, I would like to hear that up close and personal. I just could not have imagined a full range driver in that horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Has anyone heard this combo? I saw many Lowther drivers in the klipsch museum. I think I have been to this site. Aren't these acutally min-scala cabs, made a little smaller to hold 10 inch drivers? I may be mistaken..but I think the attachment (attachment is the cut plans for min-scalas) came from either this site or another who also used this type of horn and cabinet mod. lascala10inch.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, that would be Erik Forker, at his website in Germany: http://www.volvotreter.de And his new horns are very cool.
