LaScala speakers

+1. Also interested in the isoacoustic idea. Where did you place them? 
 

I have the AL5 also. I don’t find the midrange glaring at all. I have the middle of the speaker aimed at each respective ear. Each speaker is about 2 feet from the wall behind them. 
 

They are closer to the sidewalls than I’d like, but at two feet wide each I run out of room. 
 

I sit about 8 feet away from them as well. Probably should be further away but they are sort-of-shoehorned into my room.

Havent found a better speaker for my musical tastes! 

"dynamat on the horn body inside cabinet" I read about this in another forum. Improvements? I will NEVER part from my LaScala AL5! I heard the AL6 and was disappointed with the type of bass produced.

@kingdeezie if you are ever tempted,  DO NOT replace the factory metal strips with expensive terminal jumpers - waste of money and time! I thought those beautiful Furutech JumperFlux-S jumpers would improve SQ but instead they masked HF resolution and introduced MF saturation. After 400 hours I reverted back to the cheap factory strips and couldn't be happier.

That said the terminals themselves are rather cheap and need an upgrade. Furutech makes some incredible terminals. But after my experience with the jumpers I'm hesitant which is unfair because Furutech makes great products in general like my custom  Furutech power chord for my Innuos Pulsar Streamer which has made a huge difference. 

That’s amazing that you posted this. I was thinking of doing this soon! I was gonna try Nordost jumpers. 
 

Sometimes I think it’s probably most prudent to just leave the AL5s alone. I’ve had many speakers more expensive and “ better” than the La Scala. 
 

Inevitably, while they all did some things better or far better, I would stop enjoying the music I like. The AL5s just seem to bring me more enjoyment than anything I’ve had before, which is crazy because for years most audiophiles said Klipsch Heritage was garbage. 
 

Different strokes as they say! 

@kingdeezie this is by far one of the best spkrs I've heard.  I have then paired with an Accuphase Class-A amplifier and they hit all the notes beautifully.  This combination has introduced me to music that I never really listened to especially jazz and jazz Trio's and Quartets like Bobo Stenson,  Tord Gustavsen,  Marcin Wasilewski, Maciej Obara and many more. Albums like Bobo Stenson's Cantando or Tord Gustavsen Trio's The Other Side are now my go to reference pieces. Same goes with aoustic guitarists. I just discovered this beauty tonight  titled:

"The Gathering -  Guitar Various Artists 2024"

These speakers do everything so well.  And they are gorgeous to look at and carry the wife approval factor certification! Are they perfect? No. But what speaker is? Whst component is for that matter? 

I'll try isolating the cabinets for sure but trust me on the jumpers. FWIW I'm having trouble selling these jumpers, and I can't even give them away - lesson learned.
