Klipsch speaker placement

@52tiger 

The Cornwalls are a great loudspeaker. The woofer crosses to the midrange horn at 700 Hz. Thus the woofer carries a large chunk of the midrange. Remember, middle C is 256 Hz. This means the bass requiring long excursions is going to Doppler distort voice which is very noticeable once you now what to listen for. This makes a subwoofer essential for the best performance. This is true of any speaker that does not have a built in sub driver. You will hear people frequently say that adding a sub "opened up the midrange" of their speakers. The added bass is nice also. 

Cornwall's yes. Subs yes. Not all situations are the same, of course, but most can benefit from a sub that works for your system. I was the original no sub guy. Now I use 3. All of the Heritage speakers benefit from a good sub. 

And yes the Heritage line are easier to place than many speakers. Mine are close to the walls and do everything well but excel at pressurizing the room.

@52tiger, I have the La Scala ll’s in my 13x24 room. Even if I'm in another part of the house you feel the base. Their just a faster speaker! So if your interested, pull the trigger. Running them with an PrimaLuna HP & KT-88’s. BTW, I have them tucked into the corners, about 6’’ off the wall.

I’ve never heard either speaker but a friend has Khorns.
