by ohms do you mean klipscHorns

there's 1 sure way to determine if you have a Klipsch Shorthorn Model S utility cabinet - an unfinished cabinet would have these dimensions .... Height 36 .75" , Width 24" , Front to corner 22" - a finished cabinet would be slightly larger ..... H-37" - W 25.5" - Front to corner 23.25"

I hear you , if I see something , I'll send it your way

the R300 has 1 great review with 2 different klipsch speakers https://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2022/10/08/willsenton-r300-tube-integrated-amp-review/

there is no need to modify the HII crossover to add a bandpass filter , the bandpass filter is separate from the H II crossover

there is no reply from this FB listing , ..so far , 0 response

you dont really have to mod the existing crossover for TItanium mids diaphragms , you can purchase the complete driver K-53-TI from klipsch Parts

Chorus fit perfectly , if they dont , simply remove the risers..........or raise the TV by 1 inch

the Chorus II K-48 woofer is a klipsch designed woofer ( discontinued ) , good news is you can buy the direct replacement K-48-ST 15" woofer from klipsch Parts

Chorus II would be interesting if you can find speakers in very good condition with no need for repairs the Chorus dimensions are roughly 4 inches higher x 2 inches wider x 2 inches deeper vs a Forte II , finally the price , the Chorus and the Forte seem to be selling for pretty much the same prices lately.

the Shorthorn you have is a 15 inch Utility cabinet , the crossover has a klipsch tag dated 1956 with the model K-1000/5000 , the signature appears to be Lloyd McClellan , PWK's 1st employee - the tweeter is the University 4401 - the Midrange metal horn is a K-1000 , the midrange driver is the University SAHF - the woofer is the cast University C15W 15 inches dual voice coil ,dual spider piston woofer .

Gentec are the klipsch Canadian distributor , they call the AL-5 , the Lascala III for the Canadian market , and most Canadian dealers have switched to the LS III designation , there 's a Dealer in Nova Scotia who uses both designations which makes more sense ( La Scala III / AL5 ) https://glubes.ca/product/klipsch-heritage-series-speakers-la-scala-iii-al5/

Mark Levinson is owned by Harman since 1990

these are not 1963 Heresy speakers , a 1963 would have different dimensions ,plus the midrange horn is for a 1967 and up speaker
