The Vittora Speakers, Made In America, and very much like the La Scala's, I will read further.Yeah I REALLY loved the La Scalas. I got to hear these Vittora Speakers - Volti Audio - Hi-Efficiency Horn Speakers at an audio fest in Texas a few years ago and they were outstanding and might actually have been better than the Klipsch speakers they are obviously inspired by. But like I said, those things would just take sooo much space. A center would never fit under the screen and necessitate changing the room to build around an AT (acoustically transparent) screen. I could maybe have made them work for channels 4/5, but I don't think I could see how they would ever work for channels 6/7 (just no space). And then what would you match to these for Atmos (or channels 6/7)? They're pretty unique in their sound signature, I think it would be really tough.
What is your current B&W setup? Would 700 series 2 or 3 towers integrate well with what you have? I've gotten to hear them on several occasions and they sound very good to my ear. Enough that I actually retrofitted the 700 series 2 carbon tweeters to my 7 CM speakers when I had them. Might be worth considering as a compromise.
Just so we don't get off track, I have a very good complete system, but as a hobbyist and kind of nutty at the same time, I'm always looking for the elusive Nirvana.
My fronts are Diamond 800's, the middle ones, I forget the number. I have measured the space and La Scala's will fit, and Cornwall's/Forte's.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
