    • If you removed and inspected the horn, maybe try switching them just for process of elimination. Other things I’ve experienced have been wires causing a buzz on the horn and a loose motor board. To pinpoint the motor board noise I used painters tape to put pressure on it and seal it. Once I knew how far the cracked seam was I sealed it with glue. 
    • Just moved to a fantastic senior center but our unit is very small.   Trying to make my very large La Scala's work in a very small 2nd bed room, my listening position is maybe 4 ft from the speakers.   Any ideas from La Scala owners would be appreicated   Happy New Year & Enjoy The Music
    • One of the reasons I decided not to replace my wireless headphones when they died.  Bluetooth allowed the headphone manufacturers to introduce planned obsolescence into their headphone products.     My parents bought me a decent pair of Pioneer headphones when I was a kid back in the 70's.  Used them for years and years, even used them during many years of mobile DJ gigs.  Finally gave them to a friend because I stopped using headphones for a while.  As far as I know, they're still in use today.     I bought my daughter a pair of mid-line Sony wireless headphones in 2021.  The electronics are failing, and I need to keep doing a factory reset on them, which only keeps them working for another day or two at best. They also sound like @$$ when used as wired headphones.  Unfortunately, I couldn't convince her that wired headphones would be a more long - lasting option.     Things that can go wrong with wireless "consumer grade" headphone/monitors:    1) batteries lose their ability to hold a charge.  The batteries are not always easy, and often impossible to replace.  2) Electronics fail, malfunction.   3) Bluetooth codecs continue to evolve.  There have been several evolutions in recent year which are great for audio reproduction, but not so great for "last years' model" of Bluetooth headphones if the owner wants the latest capabilities.  4) breakage, and no cost effective repair options.  The proliferation of consumer grade wireless headphones in recent years have (IMHO) resulted in sacrifices in quality in the mid to lower end of the market.    After some research, I replaced my daughter's Sony headphones for Christmas with these Audio Technica headphones. Found them on a great Christmas sale.  The wired version has been around forever and has proven to be quite reliable.  Hopefully the same can be said for the Bluetooth version.  Time will tell.  
    • Another in agreement here. I have my TV sitting on top of a Heresy III, with Cornwall III mains, Forte II surrounds, KG4 rear surrounds, and 4 RS-25 overhead. Sounds fantastic for immersive movie formats, great for 2-channel when I’m in a purist stereo mood, and absolutely glorious if I want to rock the whole room in all-channel stereo!
    • it's a way to play all channels in stereo... ALLCHSTEREO   What's the point... a different listening environment    
    • I've read about how this model has issues regarding bracing and glue causing rattles. I purchased this pair for a great price and took the gamble. One of the towers sounds great, but the other not so much.   What confuses me is that the rattle is coming from one of the horns, specifically the second bigger horn. If I put pressure on it with my hands I notice the rattle isn't as notable. I took out the screws and looked behind it but there doesn't appear to be any damage.    Is there a possible reason why this is happening? Do I need to glue the sides of this speaker to ensure a better seal to reduce the rattle?
