As speakers, I used my JOTA-System, in which the low/midrange drivers run with no low cut, directly connected to the amp. The level between the satellite speakers and the JOTA subwoofer I adjusted carefully with my oscilloscope.
How to start with the description of what I heard then? Let me start like this: The LaScala Power Amp simply sounds stunning, and right now I suffer from the appearance of withdrawal symptoms since this amp is not playing in my system anymore!
At first, I was really surprised about what the LaScala was able to deliver in the low/midrange of my JOTA system. The tracks from the well-known Eagles album Hell Freezes Over are reproduced with such a crisp and full-bodied bass as I have never heard it before in my system. In principle, the JOTA system reproduces a sound more on the lean side. This character is almost gone listening through the LaScala, while all the cleanness and speed of the reproduction is still intact. Some of the usual prejudices that the use of output transformers may cause a loss in precision in the low-frequency region are turned upside down by listening with the LaScala. I did not think about this for long, and switched to Dee Bridge Waters album Memphis...Yes, I'm ready. In this case, the bass and the drums convinced me with their awesome synchronization that felt like I was listening to the real thing, which is nothing like anything I have ever heard. This created for my personal taste the correct amount of groove. I listened to the complete album and had fun like never before. At the same time, the LaScala does not at all behave like a pumped-up bodybuilder, but convinces me at any time with fine details and suppleness. As in "Night And Day" or "Fine and Dandy," the old recordings with the Joe Holland Quartett (Joe Holland Quartett The Joe Holland Quartet, Klipsch Tape Project Vol. II - HDTT DSD128 from High Definition Tape Transfers) I discover new details. It is unbelievable, what can be heard on those old but carefully restored recordings!
