Your journey mirrors mine except I started with Klipsch and went full circle and am back.
I owned at one point Pass labs mono amps and there pre-amp and they were excellent.
I can't resist tubes so that is where I have settled along with some original Chorus speakers.
I would purchase the CW-4's if I was going new in a heartbeat, although I sure would like to see a new Chorus come back.
It is so true how we get lost in listening to the equipment instead of the music and forget why we started this journey.
Klipsch has a way of bringing you out from the darkness and you just listen to the music again.

Looks fantastic, great job.
I am anxious to hear your thoughts after some extended listening.

I finally caved and let curiosity get the best of me and for the first time I decided to see how a sub would sound in a two channel set up, now technically 2.1.
I had an SVS SB-16 Ultra in the room already that was connected to my second system I have for movies.
I am in the beginning stages of adjusting it but so far it's pretty positive.
It sure does fill in where the Chorus leave off.
Preliminary settings seem to be best @ 180 degrees out of phase and negative polarity (much tighter and cleaner this way) and low pass @ 40hz.
I will have to listen for a while and see how it settles on me.

Nice set up.
I did not know these existed.

It is sometimes disappointing how bad the quality of today's vinyl pressings is. Sealed LP's, for example Marillion's " an hour before it gets's dark "or Tears for Fears " Tipping Point sound rather mediocre, crackle and pop at the first play. Also Imelda May's album " 11 past the hour " sounds better but also crackles and pop in some places. Even my "Nitty Gritty" record washing machine doesn´t help. Have tried it. Of course, this does not apply to all new releases but, based on my over 45 years of experience with vinyl, I can clearly say: Get an original pressing rather than a current repressing, if you´re looking for Vinyl from the 70´s or later releases.
Same here. My noisiest albums are the new pressings I have with crackling and popping and I clean every album, new or old before played. Most of my original albums are amazingly quiet.

How am I looking at it wrong? I said test the network. Or if it wasn't clear to you, that's exactly what I meant. Because like I mentioned you cannot test the transfer function of just a capacitor, we need it in the actual circuit.
^^^^^^^^^^^This is what I said^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I was going to test the properties of the capacitors (esr at various fequencies, leakage, series inductance, loss angle etc..) and also plot transfer function with them in the networks but testing the caps is a waste of time since all we are concerned with is it's interaction in the network.
And yes when I have some time to pull the E networks with the JEM caps installed I'll start a new thread with the results.
Please post here the link to the new thread when you do start one please.

How do they sound now after a week of listening every day a couple of hours? If not please disregard.
Not opening a fresh can of worms Dean, others...just playing into my bias.
Thanks!
Still very good.
My impression is that they sound to me to be clearer, more spacious and easier to listen to when I turn them up a little.
Very detailed.

Well, we just had to pay (on top of our usual monthly payments) an add-on bill of 1250 euro. Half our vacation budget so, we couldn't travel in the end. I have a pretty shitty job (well, I've seen much worse, but I'm still in the "lower income" part of the population) and everything has become much more expensive. Food, electricity, gas... I'm not complaining (yet), we are a double-income-no-kids house, it could be worse, but still.
Just received notice that our contract was ending and the new one is double. Insane.

Wow, what a score, how great is that.
Beautiful.
Congrats.

I had a Halcro for a while and it sounded very good but it was missing something.
It never drew me into the music, hard to explain.

what caps did you use?
https://jemperformanceaudio.com/
I ordered from JEM and I don't know what brand they are.
Maybe someone else here knows.

The speakers sounded good before I changed the caps, maybe a little tizzy and thin if I am looking for something perceived to comment on.
They did not sound veiled to me. they also did not sound as good as I remembered my original Chorus sounding years ago.
I figured different room, amplifier, older ears etc..
Short answer they needed new caps.
They sound full crisp fast and tight and the bass is hitting me in the chest, they sound like I remember them now.
Love it.

All of the caps are hot glued to the boards.
What is the best way to remove them?

You'll have to remove the woofer and tweeter be sure to mark the positive on the mid before disconnecting those wires or you might have to pull the mid driver to see factory markings. The crossovers are soldered to the input plugs so they'll need to be de-soldered to get them off the input cup.
Thank you
-
I am going to refresh the crossovers in my Chorus speakers today and before I attempt I was hoping to get some guidance on removal to save time.

Just be aware that longer ports change the tuning of the system and what you may gain in deeper bass just might be mushy sounding and you can lose definition real easily doing this. At least port tubes allow for experimentation and easy reversal if you don't like them.
I was just curious if the factory had produced a different version or update before the II's with the tubes.

Question, I have seen pictures of these speakers with the typical flared port tubes instead of just the round holes in the speaker like mine. Are there two versions?
