Pondering a pair of Klipsch La Scalas
I think Rives may be thinking of Khorns, and not LaScala's when he is giving the lower end of their range at 35hz. I've had two pairs of La Scala's and measured both and their response dropped off severely below 50hz...this in three different spac... 
Which way to go? Airport Express or USB interface

I'd like to add a little chocolate fudge sauce, whipped cream and some jimmies to my apologies. I didn't mean nuthin' by any of it...really I didn't! Just the part about the "hooey", and the elitism, .... but I weren't meaning no harm to JD or any...

JD - Looks like your nose hairs could use some trimmin'! I doubt boom box owners are interested in wires since there are very few connections on your average boom box. Now bring up where to get the best prices on 'D' batteries, or rechargables VS....

I did feel that Bomb was doing a bit of bubble bursting.Consider yourself 'educated'. If it doesn't hurt just a little, it ain't worth a damn. Now make it burn! Keep smiling man, you're getting smarter! Repeat after me: "The rain in Spain falls ma...
