LaScala speakers

I haven’t heard Klipsch in a long time. A good friend of mine had the late 80's Lascala’s and upgraded to the K-horns in 1990, The difference in sound was hard to believe, in fact he almost returned the new horns. That massive mid bass bump from the lascala’s was replaced with true deep bass and it took him awhile to adjust.

IDK if the boom is carried over to the new lascalas, but ’billstevenson’s’ suggestion of pulling speakers out from corners will settle down that massive bass bump while reducing room reflections. Large speakers are a pita to place perfectly, but at least it’s free.

Yes, getting that top bin isolated from the bass bin was revelatory as far as clarity. This improvement was very noticeable and made me realize why Klipsch decided to split those bins. I think the bass was knocking the brains out of that mid horn. I used four properly weighted Isoacoustic shock absorbers. I have the bottom bin sitting on dollies I made separated from the speaker by cushion pads designed for this weight. That change I didn't notice that much. They are very handy though for adjustments of angle and closeness. Plus they are basically invisible. The Isoacoustics between bins lift the top bin high enough to get clear of rubber feet but not too much so as to be very noticeable. I've added painted inserts between top and bottom bins to hide shock absorbers. Looks normal and actually a little better. IMO

I always loved these spkrs but always felt that they were a little hollowish.  Just recently however, I pulled the spkrs a further 4" from the front wall (now 23 inches from the back of the cabinet) and this completely transformed the sound. It fixed the hollow quality I was noticing in the horns, replacing it with a remarkably holographic, authoritative, and balanced soundstage that makes music so much more engaging. 

@fire_water I always loved these spkrs…completely transformed the sound..

Guess the loving has significantly increased. Congratulations. Agon has a lot of helpful compassionate contributors. 

@kennyc definitely, and even just sitting in my room and looking at them! I'm now working on implementing acoustic room treatment and can't wait to how this will   improve things yet agsin.
