  1. Went to listen to these the other day   Magico M6....a total of $84K

     

    $75K for the speakers...$9K for the feet....

     

    Walked out of there thinking WTF.....What makes ANY speaker cost this much.

     

    They did sound nice...... Sure

     

    I paid $750.00 for a pair of Chorus II's....(my expensive pair)......the M6's did not sound 100 X better.

  2. Soupy...

     

       First..... I am not a KLF owner....

    I always thought toe in was...Center line of speaker should be angled directly at sweet spot....or center seating position......If center seating position is farther away toe in is less than if it was closer.....

     

    One other thing......you have a beautiful room

    Anyone seen this show on Showtime?  Watched it last night, and was honestly pretty disappointed.  A lot of stills, garbled old recordings.  Some interesting things I didn't know, but a positive outcome after all.  He was a wreck for a long time.....

    Watched it last night...I had no idea he was that F...ed up....Seems to me he didn't have a solid foundation (family)...when growing up...really glad he came through it.

     

    I did listen to Unplugged this morning

  4. I can say I own both Quartet and Chorus II's......I love my Quartets with Bob's upgrades......

     

    But if I had a choice between the 2......Got the be Chorus II's......

     

    To be completely honest.....a buddy and myself have been going around and auditioning speakers....Elac Adanta / GoldenEar Triton1's  / Focal Aria 948 / Paradigm Persona 3F

     

    After hearing all these different very expensive speakers......Chorus II's still hold their own.......Focal Aria's came close......

  5. I have user PSA veneer to repair speaker tops...They actually came out pretty nice. I have done this on a pair of Quartets.

    I also use PSA on all the risers I have redone

    Not sure about doing an entire speaker. I ordered what I needed from Rockler.

  6. Best thing I found is.....if you used walnut veneer on subs......Minwax Gunstock stain then 1 coat of watco rejuvenating oil....It matches Klipsch oiled walnut perfectly.

    Done it about 3 or 4 times.......

     

    Orange.....maybe colonial maple?

    OK; think I will be "killed" for this one ... just moved some speakers around (as I "put in" my new KPT-904's :) ) and one speaker wire was short. Found an old spool of 14/2 speaker wire in my garage ... looked a little "green" due to oxidation :(  splice it in and hooked it up. Awesome sound :) 

    Cheers, Emile

    Just asking for trouble.

  8. Best is Cornwall....if you have the room.

     

    There is one that is a real gem of a speaker..... Quartets.....$580 is about a hundred bucks on the high side...... I think in the last couple years I have refreshed about 2 or 3 pair of these.

    Always to sell them off... I liked them so much....I really searched out a pair for myself.....they are like a Fort'e...in a smaller package....If the crossover are done correctly and the tweeters are changed to Bob's titanium...they really sound nice . I have had a couple of people say they are a little in the short side.....Normally you should have the midrange horn at ear lever when seated......

  9. vasubandu,

     

    The CF-4 is like the holy grail of speakers.   I've been waiting to see a set of those come up for sale since 2011

    You see lots of 2's a few 3's.....I saw a set about 7 years ago.....was picking up a set of Chorus II's...He had a set of CF-4's  for sale at the same time.

    I had my wife with me.....She gave me one of those "Don't even think about it looks"....thought about buying both pair.

    I decided after to seriously pursue a pair......Still haven't found them....2's....3's....but never 4's.

     

    Good luck.......
