    That's what I use.  Best to add a jumper in the crossover to bypass the x-curve

    Are you able to post the instructions on how to do that?  I have 4 of them that I use for my side and rear surrounds.

  2. The speaker spent it's life at a school, had a hard life getting banged around for the last 40 years or so. It really is the perfect center for the Khorns, movies are now at the next level compared to anything else I've tried.  I've tried a Cornwall, Chorus II, Heresy, and an Academy, none were up to the job compared to this one.

  4. Oiled Oak Academy, sounds great.  Upgraded to titanium tweeter diaphragm from Crites.  Cabinet is solid as it should be, there are flaws to some edges and corners as shown in the pictures.  Grill is free of tears and looks good.  Speaker is located on east side of Denver.  Asking $250.  Gonna try to sell locally if I can, shipping could be tough as this is very heavy for it's size.  

     

    Thanks

  5. I bought my current single Chorus II a couple years ago from the original owner, so far I've only used it as a center channel between Khorns.  I really like it and it's in almost perfect condition almost not a mark on it.  I also have the riser but I had to take it off to clear my TV. 

     

    My plan is to find another Chorus II and make a pair or trade for a single LaScala which I think would be an even better match.  I won't be heartbroken if this ends up staying my center channel, it does great.  Let me know what you have.

  6. Just re-read the rest of the post and realized I never replied back to the issue I had.  Ended up being a cracked solder point somewhere inside, cost me about $80 to get fixed.  Went to a guy here in Denver, Dr. Dan's Audio Repair, super nice guy and can't recommend him enough if you are local and need help with any issues.

    John, your HK730 needs to be recapped and fully serviced.  The symptoms are indicative of the unit needing to be restored.  I also have a 730 which has unfortunately developed a "hum".

    Took it to a guy here in Denver "Dr Dan", fixed a crack in some solder joint, all is great again.  Anyone that needs repairs in Denver this guy is great, super friendly and very reasonable.

    Q:  How about break in time for drivers or new driver diaphragms?

     

    A:  Yes, and depends on the size of the driver.  Tweeter diaphragm probably break-in at a matter of seconds.  They are very low mass and move very little, so any break in would happen almost instantly.  Probably happened when the factory tested the diaphragm after manufacture.

    Midrange are a bit bigger and have a bit more mass.  Break-in is probably on the order of minutes with these.

    Woofers would take the longest.  I think that break-in on a 12 to 15 inch woofer would be less than an hour played at pretty good volume using music with a lot of low frequency content.
