La Scala's and sub experiment

[KlipschFan61]

You've got a very nice setup there. I use a sub and tune it to blend with the LaScalas so I don't get that 'two system' image that you speak of. The sub only extends the lower frequencies if they exist.. If the source I happen to be listening to doesn't include those frequencies, the sub doesn't try to add or augment them. In my system, the sub completes the full range I look for in my setup. Your mileage may vary.

Yep

I'm in the "all speakers need a sub" camp. The head engineer at Klipsch feels the same way. Of course it needs to be integrated properly. The Lascala bass bin isn't horn loaded under roughly 100 Hz due to the short horn length it has. Below that that point you're basically listening to a direct radiating driver firing through a narrow slot. That's not adequate IMO.

If you can try out a horn sub like a THT you may change your mind! Love the lascala bass and a proper horn sub just adds to it.
