IB Slammin Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 For those that say the LS have no bass I say, "bullshit" Lets take a poll........ In two channel......... How many LS owners use a sub? ---------- How many CW owners use a sub? ---------- How many KH owners use a sub? ---------- Loud is not necessarily......... low. Terry Quote
IB Slammin Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Not quite 5 on the left coast but the whisky sounds good to me. I dont have La Scalas but I do have Belles. I happen to think that the bass on the Belles is accurate and musical. Have not noticed any problems. The Belles replaced cornwalls which many folks believe to be the premier bass reproducer in the heritage line. I have to say the overall presentation on the Belles is better. If I didnt think so I would move the cornwalls back into the living room! I know others will not agree but that is what makes the world go around! Josh Josh Unlike other things that we discuss here...... Deep bass is not a matter of opinion. It ether exists or it does not. IMHO, Belles are PWK's most beautiful user-friendly cabinet. They are drop-dead. Belles and LaS sound great. Having said that........ If I don't like LaS in two channel.(and I don't).......then Belles are lesser...... Put a better mid horn/driver in or atop your Cornwalls, and disregard the looks......... You would burn your Belles in the fireplace on a cold winter night. Save the LaS for a very cold night. As always, MO applys to two channel only. Hell, I gots to get the first two right before I can think about 5,6 or 10. Terry Quote
DrWho Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 Yes we all know they only travel down to 45-50hz but at exceptional output levels. Using that logic the cornwall goes down to 20Hz...Yep, still over an octave lower. Quote
Duke Spinner Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 Ouch ..! 50 hz ..@ what . 10 dB down ??? Quote
Erik Mandaville Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 "bose makes the best ever speakers" I don't know about being the 'best,' which might in fact be true for some, but I have heard a couple of Bose-based systems that didn't sound bad at all. In fact, to me they sounded good. Erik Quote
Duke Spinner Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 you were listening to the the Acoustacrap system, Erik.....?? Quote
Erik Mandaville Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 Duke: "you were listening to the the Acoustacrap system, Erik.....??" I'm not familiar with that particular model. Erik Quote
DrWho Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 LaScalas don't have bass because they function as they were designed. haha, ditto that [] Quote
Moderators dtel Posted January 28, 2006 Moderators Posted January 28, 2006 Had LaScala,s for about a month { till Michael had them picked up }. I should have tried to talk Michael into letting me buy them from him, but i really want something different in the long run, no need in starting a large collection. The LaScala,s I held for Michael were Industrial, I really would have liked to have kept the top half of that set. The mid and highs of the LaScala is what is making me want to fix the crossovers and maybe add new diaphgrams to the tweeters of my forte ll,s . I do miss the LaScalas , and Michael posting here. I used a sub with the LaScalas, but i also use a sub with the Forte ll,s so i guess i just like alot of bass. Quote
