Gary, I was under the impression that the Belle and the
LaScala were esentially the same speaker, the Belle being
the cosmetic model.  Could you elaborate on the
differences between these speakers, and the reasons you
feel the LaScala is "more suited to sound reinforcement
than home audio".  This is definately NOT a flame, I'm
just looking for knowledgable information.

I'v seen several rock and roll clubs that use LaScalas
(usually four).  I've owned a pair since 1978, used
mostly for r&r with some classical.  I too very much
enjoy the dynamic range of these speakers.
