Listening to Joe Satriani '95, and track #5 comes on....S.M.F.........this song is a great example of why my "particular pair" of Lascala, are magical. No nasties here. They remarkably convey the "musicianship" and showcases the connections between the players and their instruments. I have not been shy about it here, as I do listen louder than most, and for me, other speakers poop out. Enjoy! MrD.
LaScala speakers
I know there are some members here who own LaScala or have experience with them. I have LaScala AL5 speakers and absolutely love them for their sound and looks. I think i have them dialed in properly but I was recently told the horns should cross roughly 1–2 feet in front of your head for a wider stage, deeper layering and reduced horn glare. My room is 14.5' wide x 20' long x 9.5' high. The front of the spkrs are 4' from the front wall and I'm sitting 13' away from them. They are 9' apart Center to Center.

fire_water I have a number of horn speakers I’ve worked with from Klipsch, Shinjitsu Audio and Volti audio and I primarily listen to jazz, blues and classical. Crossing about 2ft in front of you works well depending on what you want and you should experiment to see what you prefer. My experience is that doing this makes the position of your head placement, less sensitive and the music behaves more splayed. When pointed direct at you, you will notice changes with head movement. The other option is to toe them straight out. btw, I think Klipsch has done a deplorable job with the new AL6 and the active DSP is a downgrade in my opinion and sounds very sterile.

@rankaudio While I haven't heard the AL6 tri-amped, I was disappointed with the spkeaker with both a Class-A amplifier and a tube amplifier. Sure they dig deeper but at the cost of a bass that is focused and quick like the AL5. If I want more bass good REL subs would do a better job. But presently I'm extremely pleased with my system as a whole and my Accuphase DC-1000 has taken the presentation to another level. |
I sat down with a tri-amped pair of AL6's with SS for the low end and tubes for the mids and highs and they sounded very sterile, dull, flat and lifeless, lacking warmth and depth. It amazes me how expensive all this stuff is and I've heard systems costing just a few thousand dollars total that sounded much nicer. DSP just kills the tone and airiness of tubes. As long as the wealthy continue to get wealthier, there's always someone foolish enough to buy into all the marketing hype. Klipsch has really changed since PWK passed. BTW, for those who have PM'd me, my messages all appear static for unknown reasons, so my apologies for any messages to others not responded to. |
