    Re: New Subwoofer Day!

    I'd be interested to know how the sub integrates with the La Scalas?

    It's tougher than with "regular" speakers. What I mean by that is speakers that do not have horn loaded woofers like the La Scala's.

    At 87 degrees phase @ 12db slope @ 39 hz crossover, I am actually really surprised.

    The PB16 Ultra is SIGNIFICANTLY more tuneful, tight, and tonally sharp than the smaller (13") sub was.

    The 16 is effortless in keeping up with the tone and texture of the LS's, and the LS's actually sound better with the 16. My guess is the 16 is just causing along with no compression vs. the 13 that had to work mush harder.

    The room is about 23 ft wide by 25 ft long that then opens up to a 2.5 story high entryway.

    I did not in any way shape or form expect the significant improvement in musicality the 16 has over the 13. I could not be more happy. This sub easily flows between super high SQ for 2 channel and pounds when the wife is out and I am reliving my rave days.

    That great. Not very many subs will keep up with horn loaded bass.

    I agree. I was worried about that.

    I will say that you have to be very careful - with "normal" woofers you have a larger window for error in dialing in the crossover and phase. With the horn loaded woofers if you are off even just a bit, it is very noticeable and sounds quite poor.

    The Cornwall's with their 15" woofers were a cinch to blend. These La Scala's take quite a bit of work with a sub but I've yet to hear a speaker that makes me smile like the LS's do. I actually almost did the Jubilees - there was just no way possible they would fit in the the room without the wife leaving me. And I like the wife too much.
