    If interested, then inquire for additional photos.  Or better yet, request an appointment to see.  One never knows without taking the next step.

    Not in the least interested. Others should be aware of the shortcomings of these photos and be careful of the glowing reviews without more knowledge.

     

    I've a little experience with the Chorus variety for the last 33 years. Just be careful.

    This photo looks like photo cropping, the speaker riser appears to be angled but you can't see the sides where the top of the speaker appears parallel to the wall.

    The depth of the speaker appears to be shorter compared to the dresser sitting next to it.  Makes me wonder.

     

    It is really impossible to tell the condition of these speakers with these photos. It just doesn't appear to me that the seller is all that serious about selling. He states they are clean and maybe they are but then again maybe they are not even average in the eyes of some beholders.

    This is a preference question or a Math question....

     

    Math...

    101db@1w/1m

    2 x power = 3db 

    100 W ph.  

    1 Watt dubled, then dubled...

    1,2,3,8,16,32,64,128...that  is 7 times. 

    7 x 3 =21db output...

    101 + 21 = 122db max out. 

    to get there clean, you need at least 6db headroom. So 4 x the power.

    128 x 4 = 512 Watts per channel to reach full volume with headroom at 1 meter. 

     

    Your seat is ....4 meters away...for fun...-6db every time the distance is doubled.

    that's 2 x -6 = -12db off the level due to distance. 

    SO, with about 500 Watts to each speaker, you can have 6db of head room and about 120db at your seat. 

    IF you want 3db less than that, cut the power in half. 

     

     

    Thank you Trey.

     

    That explains why for 30 years I have always loved these with big ole amps. With all the other models I've owned the K-48 is a freaking beast!

    I've found that 1200 wpc works very nice.  I have to thank Craig for that one.

  4. Its been the crown K2 for ever it seems but after seeing Craig with all those zr1600's bridged mono I just had to give it a try. New favorite pro amps are now Carver pro zr1600's bridged mono. When a professional drummer likes something he is probably on to something. He sure was with these things. Don't know what took me so long.

     

    Wow!  Dynamics and slam in spades yet smooth as butter.

     

    Thanks Craig!

     

    Also been a Chorus II owner for 30 years and just added a pair of 86 Industrial Lascalas with the K-77, K-55-M and the K-34 woofers. Holy cow! Lascalas and subs are really mind blowing. I have heard Lascalas plenty of times and never heard them sound like this. They like the K2 or the zr1600's. My Chorus II's actually seem hotter in the mids compared to these things can you say smooth. I guess I'm just diggin it! Isn't audio  just a blast!

  5. What sub would the experts recommend to run with the Cornwall II's. Pushing the Corn's with a Carver M500T amp along with a Carver 4000T pre-amp.

    Thanks,

    It appears from your equipment and your signature quote you want to crack the sternum. Take a look into pro audio. Obvioulsy for critical listening you can turn the subs off. I do suggest 2 or more if you want the hair to blow back!

  6. When I had my 86's I lived with the AL crossovers for about 6 months before I pulled the trigger on some ALK Universals. What a huge difference those crossovers made! Everything about the speakers characteristics changed after installing them. Clarity and detail, attack, imaging, better bass, etc. It was like a veil was lifted off the speakers. They are a world class speaker with the right crossover imho.

    I know Carl's enjoying them as I write this. Wink

    Thanks Mike. I know you have personal experience with Chorus 2's which is what I use. I am such a headbanger though our music tastes proabably differ somewhat.
