Were they bigger than you remembered? Lol
No but my 59 year old back appreciated them much less than it used too. 😂

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've had many pairs of each and both are great in their own way exponential vs Tractrix horn is a big difference I personally prefer the Chorus 1 here in the mids low to mid volume sitting right in the sweet spot sounds cleaner and more detailed cost is smaller sweet spot and they get shouty at louder volumes.
Bass on the Chorus 1 is noticeably less deep but snappier, tighter clean sounding although in certain rooms and with certain equipment they can sound a bit lean at lower volumes. I've said many times I'd much rather have Chorus 1's with a good sub over Chorus II's but without a sub I prefer the II's. Both are great should check them out for yourself only real way to know for sure.
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.

the midrange horn is different , same driver , there are no drones in the back or placement issues , there are twin ports in the front , I doubt you'll even note a difference with the grilles on
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.

Reluctantly selling my vinyl set-up, this beautiful Rosewood turntable is in excellent condition and sounds glorious.
Stellar Speed Stability, Quiet Operation, Grand-Scale Sound, Glorious Musicality: Experience Gorgeous Dynamics, See-Through Transparency, and Stunning Low-Level Detail from Vinyl LPs
Winner of The Absolute Sound's Golden Ear Award and Stereophile's Product of the Year award, the VPI Classic Signature turntable takes to grand sonic heights the state-of-the-art analog design elements that guides VPI's world-famous Classic series. Formerly known as Classic 3, Classic Signature features a half-inch thick aluminum plinth so massive and well-damped, it virtually eliminates resonance. VPI also updated the 'table's tonearm to a high-tech 10" JMW Classic 3D printed arm, one of the sweetest-sounding tonearms available. The 3D printed arm includes large stabilizing side weights, a adjustable counterweight, and copper-shielded internal wiring. Classic Signature also features VPI's stainless-steel Record Center Weight, the same fitted as standard equipment on the HRX. Gorgeous and glorious.

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.

He does not have any information on the cables but this is the individuals website.

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.
Chorus I vs Chorus II

Well I have been listening to the Chorus speakers now for almost a week and I am very pleased with them.
I just picked up a tube amp today and switched them over from the Marantz SR8015.
The sound is absolutely fantastic, excellent synergy I could not be happier.
My first pair of Klipsch speakers were Chorus II's and I had always regreted selling them to my friend.
Some of what I have owned through the years, Khorns Belles Lascalas Cornwalls Heresy's Kg's RF7II's etc. the list goes on.
Happy to be back with some Chorus.
