boatman Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Any thoughts about a good, compact centre speaker for my pair of Klipsch LaScalas? I do have an older LaScala collecting dust in the basement (my original MONO system) but it is too large for our living room arrangement. I seem to remember Paul Klipsch years ago recommending a BelleKlipsch to centre flanking Klipsch Horns . . . but I am digressing and dating myself.

Cornwalled Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 If you can't fit another LaScala or similar sized heritage speaker like the Belle, you might want to try a Heresy instead. It uses the same mid and HF horns as the rest of them, but, being considerably smaller may work out better for your setup. Good luck with it and keep us informed with what you decide to use.

Lone Palm Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 boatman, I use a RC-3 between my LA-SCALAS. Many good folks claim it's not a good match because of timbre imbalance. Sounds fine to my ears. Try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatman Posted December 30, 2001 Author Share Posted December 30, 2001 Thanks for the quick replies! Being a "newbie" it took me a few minutes to browse the archives to find a similar question from Dennis Lamb in November with many excellent suggestions. Seems like I am following in the footsteps of other LaScala owners upgrading to home theatre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossVTaylor Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Boatman, I'm also using a Heresy (II) as a center with my LaScalas and it works great. I'm using RS-3s as movies surrounds. While those may not be the recommended surrounds for Heritage speakers like the LaScalas, the RS-3s work great as movie surrounds. Your LaScalas will make the foundation for an awesome HT system!

RossVTaylor Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 BTW - I *wish* I had a single LaScala just laying around... ------------------ My System's Stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 The Belle might look nicer but won't be much different in size from the LaScala. The Heresy might be the way to go. ------------------ Soundog's HT Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 I'm using a KLF-C7 with my 4 La Scalas. It is not quite a perfect match, but it is very good and fits on top of the RPTV well. I'm pleased with the results. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
