Proof of life.

Picked them up a few hours ago. I have been listening to them at my house for about an hour or so and they sound great so far. I have them hooked to my Marantz SR8015 using pure direct. Neil Young playing on cd and he sounds as he should. I am happy so far. I will play a variety of genre's and give an update but initial reaction is very positive.

I will be using a sub, SVS SB16-Ultra. One thing I remember from the Chorus II's was the bass hit me right in the chest, it was very tactile. I loved that. La Villa Strangiato never sounded better on any other speaker.

I should have stated that I do know the build differences between the two models. I have not listened to the Chorus I's but loved my II's. The mid horn was a particular point of interest as in the difference betweeen the two models as well as the bass.

I used to own Chorus II's and I really enjoyed them. I have an opportunity to pick up some excellent shape walnut Chorus I's and I was wondering if ya'll could give some first hand experience comparing the two and describing the differences. Thank you

That was my thinking but I have not paid attention to the sales on these.

I have come across a very nice pair of original Chorus in excellent shape and would like some advice on market value if possible. Sequential serial numbers, walnut oil, excellent condition. Older gentleman, asked me to make an offer after he said these are high dollar speakers. His expectations may be unrealistic. Some real world prices would be appreciated. Thanks.

Looked like this.

Funny story about Emerson. Did not have much as a kid but my Parents surprised me one Christmas with an Emerson all in one stereo from Ames department store which included an Am Fm tuner an 8-track player and a record player with two speakers. I was happy beyond belief. One of my fondest memories. As crazy as it sounds, it was my gateway into this life long love of music and all things audio.

I would rather someone gets a good set of wires here than put them back in the closet. I will sell all five sets, speaker wires and interconnects for $750.00.

I have been waiting for Upscale Audio to start selling these.

I have 3 pairs of RCA and 1 pair of XLR Balanced interconnects hand made by the Audio Surgeon. The lengths of the RCA's are 3 feet 4 feet and 6 feet The balanced XLR are 5 feet. I am asking $200.00 a pair or $700.00 for the lot I have 1 Pair of speaker interconnects with spade connectors. They are 8-feet 4-inches long. I am asking $550.00. OBO I bought these for a secondary system that I no longer have. They are very neutral, excellent performing cables. They have probably 50 hours of play time on them. I have priced these low, (about 30% of original cost) to move them. I have too much gear sitting in the closet.

https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/ele/d/dallas-klipsch-rp-600m-bookshelf/7277180761.html This seems like a decent start localy if you want bookshelf speakers. I saw other Klipsch bookshelf speakers and a couple centers listed also.

Just saw this. Sad news. He was a pleasure to talk with and do bussiness with. I rebuilt several speakers and crossovers using his products. Condolences to his family.

Mine also came from Kevin at Upscale.
