Great room David.. Like the record storage.

[Mika K]

Nice and cozy, just the way I like it.. :carrot:

[RobbieGong]

Nice!! What's the power piece ? Looks classy and purposefully meaty in equal measure :)

[Barry]

Nice record collection!

It is a Yaqin MS-20L, EL34 based. 25wpc triode mode, 50wpc ultra linear. I use triode mode all the time.

Nice setup. That sloping ceiling must almost 'horn couple' your speakers to the room! :)

[Macca]

Stacked QUADS we have seen before but must be a first for stacked Klipsch. I like the extensive record collection, too.

[HackneyRF]

Wow! And I thought I had quite a few records. Lovely stuff David.

[Idlewithnodrive]

Yep, really like that :)

Nice eclectic kit and music tastes.

A closer view of the Klipsch stacks and xovers:

ALK style xovers for the LaScalas

The xover on top of the LaScala and behind the Heresy is for the Heresy

Close up of the Heresy xovers right after I built them a few years ago

Love the room. A natural horn you might say. A cozy and personal space methinks. What kind of turntable is it?

Thanks, the turntable is a Technics SL-1200M3D with lots of mods. :D

So how does the speaker set up work? Are the La Scalas just used as bass cabs? What are the x-over frequencies?

They are wired in parallel at the xover inputs, all drivers working.

I had heard about people dong this and liking it so about a year or so ago I tore my listening room down for new flooring and paint (then the Heresy's were rear surrounds). When I put everything back I put the Heresy's on top of the LaScalas on a whim to see how they would sound. They have been there ever since.

One of those things where it shouldn't work on paper but just does in reality then? I suppose that is loudspeakers and rooms in a nutshell.

Well said :)

I tried it with the Heresy's upside down because it is said that the tweeters should be close together, I honestly cannot tell a difference so keep them upright.

I have been told "If you have to do that you need new speakers" etc.... I don't have to do it, just tried it and like it.

Maybe my speakers didn't read the textbook on how they should sound? :lol:
