Rogers, so yes basically. They own 75% of MLSE.

Genuinely excited to hear your thoughts! I hope you enjoy them. I love mine.

I know I'm going to enjoy them. It might be while before I can get the system properly put together but at the very least I can swap them into the system upstairs for now. Thanks for answering all my questions about them over the past little bit...

Sounds like they can afford to buy you a replacement set of headphones…

I got them back the next day! It only took one vaguely threatening email to like 500 people...

I’m sorry, not sorry, but I automatically delete any email where people are looking for shit. In fact I automatically delete about 90% of emails. I work off the theory that it’s better to miss the odd critical meeting than have to deal with people’s shit…
… also the phrase critical meeting is a bit of an oxymoron.

Oh don't worry, no one ever sends these emails at my work. I did it knowing it would be a whole THING. Did not disappoint. I mostly did it for humours sake.

I get about 300 can you find this lost piece of work emails a day. It’s like moron, don’t admit to it, ignore it until it appears (which 99 times out of 100 it does) or it can’t go away and then run about shouting until people help you out of pity.

Be prepared for the pallet shipping. There’s really no “sneaking” these into the house.

Haha oh I know. I was very careful to brief my wife. She knows what they look like, what she DOESN'T know is how much they COST. Pallets don't scare me, invoices ATTACHED to pallets definitely do.Be prepared for the pallet shipping. There’s really no “sneaking” these into the house.

I predict that you’ll love them. If i make any additional change, it will be bringing Fortes back into the system in the new, bigger room or trying Cornwalls. I swear to god I’m done with amplification. I’m going to switch the Decware order from the 300b to a phono preamp so I don’t lose my deposit.

This was my first big amp upgrade but I don't foresee myself changing it for a long time. It's got all the power I need and the sound is so adjustable I can pretty much tailor it however I want. I think I will always need that as an option. My brain needs to fiddle and this allows me to do that without spending money every time I do it.

I looked at quite a few options with built in Dirac or some other room correction over the past few months but didn’t pull the trigger. The adjustability on your new amp is super impressive and should allow you to tailor the sound to your liking without issue. Look forward to reading about them over the next few months!

But, dang, those Cornwalls are big. If the La Scala is like a washing machine, the Cornwalls are like bookshelves!
*but I’d love them, though*

I really did initially want them because they would fit in my basement room. But not having the ability to move them upstairs if I preferred the L100s took them out of the running.

imagine my situation, I had to explain to my wife that I was driving to Florida to pay an internet acquaintance for mine.

The La Scalas are bigger in my head. The Cornwalls are wide but not terribly deep.

That's amazing. I would have paid to see the look on her face.
