Hello again. Thanks for the replys. Will call Klipsh for replacement tweeter or tweeters. These speakers seem to have mid and tweet horns that are dated 1995.(Didn't check the woofers). I did notice today, the the other side has a mid that doesn't work. Upon checking out, the mid works fine, but the midrange circuit on the X-over does not. I took the working tweeter from the speaker with the bunk mid circuit in the X-over and installed it it in the speaker with the fried tweeter. It's crossover works with all three drivers. So I could hear one the proper way. Nice! So I definitely have a crossover problem as well as a blown tweeter. These crossovers may could have been the reason why the drivers have been replaced in 1995 or so. or possibly, the last owner of these had a 440 watt yamaha poweramp, with a 35 watt pre-amp, a 30 band e.q, and a sony changer. (this gear was piled up on the speakers when I bought them at the thrift store on the airbase I work at). The guy lost them due to W.A.F. This 440 watt yamaha had to weigh as much as one of those chorus's, it was heavy. I've come to the conclusion that this guy was probably abusive to these speakers with this yamaha gear, it could be why the drivers were replaced in '95 or so. Has anyone done any crossover mods to the Chorus II's? Anyone!? At least the values to those inductors? Help! These are the first 'real' speakers I ever had. I'm really like these things and can't wait to get them both going and enjoy the music. A good speaker deal can be a real pain in the butt for a guy with limited cash. I feel real fortunate. THANX!

Hello. I just recently purchased a pair of 1989 Chorus II's for $270 dollars. Upon returning home, and hooking them up, after a light clean up, one of them has a bunk tweeter. (Figures). Pulled the tweeter out, tried it straight off the amp,(Thinking maybe X-over problems) nothin'. Oddly, the horn has a 1995 sticker, with the model #, (Which I forgot, And I put back in the cabinet). I did disassemble the tweeter and noticed no wire breaks at the dome coil assembly, but the coil didn't look too great. Can a guy get replacement diaphram coils for the tweeters for Chorus II's? Crossovers: A couple of questions here. Why are their transformers in the X-over circuits? What is their primary purpose? These are T5a, 5 amp, I guess. I noticed mine have a metal and a plastic covered radial caps on the board,(Are these electrolytics? EEK)! A couple of film caps, then a little iron core inductor for the mid I guess, and a large inductor with a big retangular iron core. These speakers are screaming for a crossover upgrade! Can anyone help me out? These speakers serial #'s don't really match, but the the two same people that inspected and tested them have their signatures on each cabinet. Strange. Other than that, I'm really starting to like these speakers, they're black, great shape, and make my sansui sp-x9's look like bookshelf speakers. Can you source replacement tweeters or replacement coils for these speakers? Has anyone done any crossover mods to the Chorus's? Your reply's are greatly appreciated, for I want to get these things dialed in and going a.s.a.p. Thank you very much, Mike Stehr.
