Klipsch Chorus II Crites Upgrades Pristene - $1100 (Casselberry)
John Chi-town replied to Alexander's topic in Alerts!
Removed, must have sold..... -
Yes. I was implying there may be damage to the cabinets based on lack of photos and price. Regards, John
-
Curious as to why there are no photos of cabinets? Re John
-
Damn, that is one hell of a deal! John

Cornscala Style B with DeanG and Crites crossovers
John Chi-town replied to pioneerhip's topic in Garage Sale
Very Nice! GLWS. If you were closer, would give serious consideration..... Regards, John -
If Pristine that is very high end. Go there with $700 in right pocket if pristine, and go up from whats in your left pocket in increments of $50. Good luck! John

Stupid question, but have you removed the speaker grills and checked to see that all screws holding horns and bass are tight, as well as the passive radiators? John

Glad to hear you are on the right track! Hopefully the crossover rebuild will take away the muddy bass. The Ti tweeter will help smooth things out as well. Keep in mind Klipsch speakers overall are probably the most revealing simply by design. Garbage in, garbage out, from a recording perspective. Poorly mastered CD's etc. will really shine with all their glory through all Heritage designs. The forte line is considered among the best in the Heritage line in the sense of a well balanced speaker. Cornwall I-III, will have less midrange, but a more robust bass. LaScala, great mid and highs, but lacks bass. Think 1-2 subs in the mix with that route. I have owned my forte II since I unboxed them 28 years ago. The only Heritage that has come out since then that I would replace with is the new Cornwall IV. However they are $6K a pair. Will wait a couple years till they are available on used market for half or less. The new Cornwall IV INMHO is like a forte III on steroids. Finally gave it the larger mid range it needed for decades. INMHO, they stole Bob Crite's 3 way Cornscala design, more or less. Lol..... Remember as PWK stated we live in the mid-range. Regards, John

How did the repositioning and playing with toe in work out? Any improvement? Regards, John
-
Keep an eye on Craigslist, FB Marketplace, etc, A pair should pop up soon. Go with the forte II if you can. Unboxed mine 28 years ago. Good luck on your search. John
-
Plenty of moving pads wrapped around them if you dont have original boxes and inserts. Then more padding, Did I mention padding? Regards, John
-
Also, play with Toe in & No Toe in. I prefer No toe in in my environment. Or somewhere inbetween. Good luck.
-
INMHO you have the speakers way to far from the wall. The passive works best 8-12 inches from rear wall. Recap the crossovers as well. I think you will have a different impression of the speakers. Regards, John
