The La Scala upgrades that I offer are not put together into a package nearly as well as the Khorn and Belle upgrades.  Since the La Scala needs to have the cabinet modified for installation, and the cost of the upgrades are relatively high, the number of upgrade packages I sell for La Scalas is quite low.  So frankly, doing the work necessary to develop an easy-to-install package for the La Scala upgrades has not been high on my priority list!  But I know there are a few of you out there who really like the flexibility and sound quality of the La Scala bass bin, and are willing to spend the money to make them the very best they can be.  I have some options for you, but keep in mind that they are not low-cost options, and they will require that you be able to do some basic carpentry skills to modify the cabinets, or to find someone local to you who can do the work.  If you're interested in upgrading your La Scala speakers, please send me an email and we can talk about it.

The Fc280 horn was originally made for the Belle V-Trac horn , but I have found other uses for it as well.  In the development of the Alura speaker, I integrated a Ciare 1.26 tweeter into the outer edge of the Fc280, making a compact and effective midrange/tweeter combination.

This combination would work well for the La Scala I, by cutting of the fronts of the speakers to make a larger opening, and figuring out how to mount the horn in place.   A grill cloth could be added over the fronts of the speakers, or the horn could simply be left painted black.  The handy do-it-yourselfer should have no trouble doing this install, or a local artisan could be hired to do the work for you.

If you own La Scala II's, the upgrade to an Fc260 horn is not too difficult to do.  Although it does require a little bit of work to fit and secure the horn.

Here's a few pictures of a pair of La Scala II's that one of my customers installed the Fc260 horn into.   He said it was not too difficult to fit in, and that the original grill frame fit right over it.  He tried different mountings for the Beyma tweeter, and found that he got the best sound by mounting it down under the top lip of the bass horn in the "V" area.  Sorry, I don't have a picture of that.

The Fc260 horn is also available with the Ciare 1.26 tweeter integrated into the outer edge of the mouth of the horn.

I have a couple of customers who simply put these horns on top of their cabinets, and don't even bother to build them in.

Other upgrades to consider:

Replace the woofers with the Crites woofers.  Click HERE for more information.

Add braces to the insides of the doghouse area to stiffen the sidewalls of the cabinets, and maybe add grills to the fronts of the bass horn.  Click HERE for more information.

Replace the crossover networks to re-voice the speaker, and to take advantage of the best these upgrades have to offer.  Click HERE for more information.

So if you'd like to push the performance of the La Scala up a few notches, send me an email and we'll talk about it.
