Grippers? Like those little rubber feet ? The bass IS there, make no mistake - it is just that it was much more....punctuated with the bozaks.

All, I just scored a near mint set of Chorus I speakers last week and have been putting them through the paces. My setup consists of a homebrew EL84 (bastardization off of a dynaco driver design, but with tube rectification, soft start, feedback changes, etc), a modified PAS-2, and either a denon CDP, updated FM3, vinyl, or a squeezebox. I also just wrapped up a nice SE compactron amp (Super detailed; but quite lacking in the bass department..). In any event, I really am enjoying these speakers - but I gotta say that my bozak B313's sounded much better in the bass department. Perhaps not as strong, but the bozaks were much cleaner and perhaps went a little lower. Beyond that, the Choruses blow the bozaks away [] I believe that the crossovers need some refreshment; as the left channel will pop every now and again shortly after startup (I checked that it wasn't the amp, etc). I see a whole bunch of stuff for the Chorus II series; but nothing really for the older ones. Suggestions ? I did find the schematic for them on this board; so worse comes to worse I can experement abit. Additionally; has anyone tried to mess with the ports ? I was thinking maybe add some tubes to them, or block one off with a tube in the other, etc ? Here's a quick coupla pics that I took when I hauled 'em home: Thanks ! Steve
