I several 2 channel setups currently dormant, in pieces. Klipsch K-402 horns with TAD 4002 drivers on top of a pair of Peavey FH-1 cabinets containing EVM 15B drivers, with Danley DTS-20 subwoofer (all fed by Yamaha SP2060 96/24 active Xover with JBL/Urei, Yamaha, Adcom, Hafler, Dynaco, PASS Aleph J Class A, Crown K2, various chip power amps. and waiting for Hypex monoblock kits with NC400 modules, supposedly the best of Class D stuff out there. I'm sure I missed several things, but got most of it.Analog setup with old APT/Holman preamp, Adcom 555 Power amp Luxman 121 TT with Ortofon MM cartridge, all driving totally a pair of refurbished ESS/Heil AMT 1D. Also have 2 Klipsch Cornwalls refurbished with newer drivers and Xovers, and 4 Commercial Heresy's with titatnium diaphrgms. A few dozen RAW drivers WMT, etc for future speaker builds and 2 pairs of original ESS AMT with spare diaphragms. Also have a spare pair of Danley TH-50 subwoofers. I just sold Twin 18" subs, 14 Klipsch speaker, including 3 of my customized/ported "Super Heresys"
My current MAIN (best ever) setup is: 2.2/6.2=Front R&L Danley SH-50, CenterFront, SurroundR, SurroundL and CenterRear Sound Physics Labs Unity Summation Apeture horns/TD-1. Yamaha CXA-5000 PrePro main unit with the amazing ESStech 32 bit SABRE DAC chips. One OThorn and One Danley TH-50 Subs Center Front/Center rear, driven by a Crown K2 with mono input. Each of the 6 Danely designed horns has 7 drivers for a total of 42 drivers. One compression driver Tweeter, 4 sealed 5" midranges, and 2 12" woofers per horn box. The main Rnad L dispesion is 50x50 degrees, which keeps the sound focused on the sweet spot and OFF the walls. The TD-1's have a 60Hx40V pattern laying down. The OThorn tapped horn has a 21" B&C driver, and the TH-50 has a monster MTX 15" driver in a tapped horn with a lower Fc. My Bass is +/- 3 db from 18-200 Hz. measured with 1/48th octave resolution at my sweet spot, which is rare and difficult to do.
Oppo 103 for CD 2.1, HDMI out for 6.1 DVD/Blue Ray. Yamaha YPAO "Natural" room EQ for all listening.
At the touch of a button on the remote, I can jump between many modes but my preferred mode is 2.2 for all music, where it's only the Danley SH-50's and the 2 subs front and back that are on. Theater Standard for 6.2.
I think that just about covers it, for this year anyhow. LOL.
I have had 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 setups for HT, and having that 7th channel in the rear makes ZERO difference on any Blue Ray tested, so it's a waste of money, space, and an amp channel. But, for some rooms layouts, it's needed in case there's a doorway in the center rear. Now that I have 11 channels, I only use 6 but when things shake out I may upgrade to do Dolby ATMOS, but I'll wait my next domicile to do so.

Also using Peavey FH1. How do they sound with EVM15B?
Using Klipsch K33 here
I heard JBL 2226 sounds great in those horns too
As former owner of many LaScalas and even more FH-1 bins, the FH-1 is clearly superior, especially with the stiffeners. It measures and simulates better in Hornresp.I once used FH-1 bins with a pair of EV 960 horns with DH-1A drivers. The bass bins had K-33's which, to my surprise, went down to 30 Hz (huge cabin gain). without EQ on the bottom end in my basement office. The K-33 pulls up the lower end while sacrificing it's top end, which was easily PEQ'd without an IM distortion penalty with an active 24/96 Digital Xover.
The EVM 15 L or B, as well as a Klipsch K-43 are at the other end of the performance curve, thinning out the bass while getting a much better midrange response, so it's highly dependent on crossover point and what the mid/treble horn does.
Regardless of which woofer is used, the LaScala bin has less response at 400 Hz. by about 3-4 db. The FH-1 is much better in this regard. Both of them peak at about 140 Hz. so using about a 7 db PEQ attenuation at a Q of about 5 or so will flatten them out, but you have to measure with REW or some other software in your ROOM to know for sure.

Not heard the Danley SH-50 for some time. Planned on trying some but then spent many years traveling for work.
