Infinity nutcase.
Ive been an Infinity guy since starting my Audio journey. I recently picked up a pair of JBL MR825 speakers with one tweeter not working. I bought some Pyle PDS442 compression drivers to replace them. They came in last night, I installed them and brought the JBL's into my main listening system.
This is my first experience with this type of speaker, the horn and 15 bass driver.
I've been listening to my favorite FM Saturday morning programs for the last 5 hours. I'm very surprised at how well these sound, I've been having some trouble with my hearing and these are becoming game changers for me. Everything is open and airy. I'm hearing everything I feel I've been missing for awhile. It's really blowing me away. Sure they're not Audiophile in any way but damn my brain likes what I'm hearing.
So that being said, I've heard one pair of klipsch, think it was an RF-82. One horn with 2-10 inch gold colored woofers and honestly I didn't care for them.
I've always loved the look of the older Klipsch, belle's, K horns, Cornwalls and especially the La scalas ! I've done some reading and I'm really contemplating building a pair for myself. Again I've never heard any of those vintage speakers. But it looks like there's enough resources to build a custom pair.
So I'm just wondering if you guys think that the JBL would be a good representative of the sound of the Klipsch La Scala?
Thank you for reading and I look forward to your thoughts.
For reference here's a pic of the JBL.
