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


How the external Heresy xovers connect to the Heresys

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.

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?
