Ok....I'm biased. ha
+1 to that........I do like the Palladiums.......but my vote goes to the DIY Belle's.....they are beautiful.

I have both an Integra DHC 80.3 and an Anthem AVM 60......The Anthem is my main pre pro....but for that price go with the Integra....you will love it.

rivercat,
I'd like to see them when they are finished.....
Have fun with the project......please I'm not saying you did the wrong thing......I have rebuilt and refreshed a lot of Klipsch speakers....reference series just suck to do.
You can't send the drivers out to be re coned or re cone them yourself ...they have to be purchased....the veneers suck to re do ....vinyl is a easier to re wrap.... but when you get done ....its still vinyl.....
This sounds like a something you are excited about doing......Finish them

I would've passed...That said, for $450 you have a project so that may be a good deal for you.
+1....don't think I would have taken on this project.

Tired of pushing an acre or paying $2,000 / year for people that don't fix the problem.

That's a ridiculous low price compared to a couple of years ago.
I've been looking casually at the HDTV's, Sams Club, Walmart. For whatever reason the prices have dropped greatly, at least the ones anything less than 75 inches. A thousand bucks will get you a BIG TV!
Are the TV's due for the next "bigger and better" thing, so they are dropping the prices on all the "old" 4K TV's?
one number one letter........8K........

I have had a lot of different amps......the ones I decided to keep.
Adcom/McIntosh/Sansui/...and for now Sunfire....all solid state
I consider my Adcoms to be workhorses.......nothing fancy like my Mac....but still keepers.
There is nothing wrong with not liking them.......just a matter of preference

Great looking system and room. Does anyone beside me think the the speakers could be spread a bit further apart.
Just what I was thinking.......each one needs to move .062 inches farther apart....... sure
COME ON😝
It's a system to die for

Yea....
A guy I use to work with...known as JBL Paul......has a soft spot for Thorens.......I think he has 4 or 5 TD 160/166/125.....I really respect his opinion...
I figured I'd give one a try....been looking for while...saw the condition ...saw the cartridge ...couldn't get the money out of my pocket fast enough.
After doing the anti HUM rewiring....It's a keeper....Going to add it to my Sansui system

Welcome to the forum! I believe the Icon series is discontinued and was only available through Best Buy. Personally, I would skip this and look at the used market for a deal on speakers. The Icons are the base level Klipsch offering and do not hold their value at all in the used market if you ever want to upgrade. If you let us know your location, we can look up some local Craigslist deals and help you put a system together.
+ 1 to this statement.....don't rush into this....would be better off going with a used early reference system....maybe RF 3.

Risers are quick fun part of a restore job....Done quite a few....The only difficult part is if you need to make a new section ....or if one of the plastic corner braces is missing..
You can use plastic wood putty to repair any major damage....Staining to match is the difficult part....(wood putty really doesn't take stain too well)...If you are really into it ...you could always order adhesive backed veneer from Rockler wood working supply....cut it into strips and reface the risers.
The risers on this set of Chorus II's have been filled and then rec covered with pressure sensitive adhesive backed walnut veneer....then re-stained with Minwax (gunstock color) stain to match oiled walnut finish.
Or you could paint them black

Network Streamer NAS (Network Attached Storage)
in 2-Channel Home Audio

I get what you mean.......I really don't run a NAS ....Got a server in the basement....run a couple of SansDigital 4 bangers. Then I have a couple Intel NUC's ...one for each system.
I run my movies through either JRiver or Kodi.....all my music runs through JRiver.....Most of my music streaming is through Amazon prime plus...through the NUC's.
Got the NUC's on sale....works for me anyway.
