I never cared for the LaScalas' sound. My roommate in the army had a pair while I had both Heresys and Fortes. IMO, either the Heresys or the Fortes, and especially the Fortes sounded much better. I recently picked up a pair of Heresy IIIs as a foray into tube amps began. I put a Cary 120s on them and Marantz SS before that. As you can imagine the SS put a little edge into the horns but sounded suprisingly good while the Cary 120S sounds very good on them. I almost enjoy listening to that system as much as my much more expensive main one. Whether it's the tubes,horns or the combination of both, I'm not sure but I'm a little hesitant to mess with success.
Replaced La Scala with...?
I have a pair of Klipsch La Scala speakers that I picked up used on a whim. I also have a pair of Edgarhorn System 100, but that's another story. It has been a love-hate relationship with the horns. I recently moved the La Scalas into a different listening area and I am not entirely pleased with the sound. I am considering selling the speakers and moving to something new - probably a smaller full-range. My question: why have La Scala owners decided to go to a different speaker, and what has been the speaker progression following a pair of La Scalas?
