Hello. I have changed the intro on this thread, and wish this thread could be useful for interested regardless of price ranges.
Lets play some music😀 Partition with Beyonce😂

To the OP and his original question, re-read what GLENS wrote in his first post.
Personally, I think you are seeking a solution in search of a problem. The bass is fine on the Chorus. There are other things that I would tackle first.
Good luck,
-Tom
The first post is off topic.
Stop making trouble out of nothing, think positively and negatively when considering replacement bass speakers. Feel free to make suggestions

Doesn’t Volti Audio use the Faital Pro 15 PR 400 C?
It looks like they have a collaboration. There is also a speaker manufacturer from Canada using this one.

My speakers brain in the photo😀There are some off topic in this thread, but it is also interesting reading. Faital Pro 15 PR 400 C 4 ohm vs K-48. One thing is certain when switching between these bass drivers. 1. less watts and more bass. 2. Smoother frequency curve. 3. lighter membrane, which gives a faster response. 4. a better voice coil, for better cooling. I have found only one drawback of this replacement speaker. It is necessary to grind the outer diameter a little to fit the hole.

Rest what? Just different drivers on the horns or different horns too? Because the drivers alone could alter the box volume, horns definitely so.
New diaphgram on tweeter and mid horn😀 and new capacitors.

Sounds like fun...Looked at your link and those Faital Pro look interesting at 8 pound weight.
At 400 watt they're hard hitting and read like a decent replacement. The Eminence Kappa C is another used and mentioned here for optional. Looked for the specs on the K-48 but could not open, yet they can handle 100 watt continuous and 1000 Watt peaks.
There are the kp and the EP.
Out of my reference and memory frame.
Know others will be chiming in...
Yeah i like the pro speakers of Klipsch. I think a doubble K-48 will be right on chorus since the low spl on theme haha.

Understand...if you already have the other speakers, why not...if not it could get expensive.
Used my Chorus like your recommendation for placement.
Have you ever turned them up?
Chest pounding bass aplenty.
Yes I have several times with crazy sound pressure😀. I only have the old basses, but the rest is new.

The k-48 woofer used in the Chorus speakers are more than adequate for superb bass response, many have found.
Always interesting to see what
a different woofer would make.
but...in this case!?
Good fortune
I totally agree as long as you use the back wall and side wall as bass reinforcement. I'm reasonably happy with my speakers, but the idea of increasing the spl on the bass driver is there😀

K-48 vs Faital Pro 15 PR 400 C
I think its a win win here. With higher spl, and lower mowing mass weight. Fs is lower. Se data specs. https://www.parts-express.com/faitalpro-15pr400-15-neodymium-professional-woofer-4-ohm--294-1270
Should be bolt on without major changes.
Maybe other speaker elements that are a better replacement than what most people use?
This is just a thought I have😎

Hi
Think about folded bass horn, when you need more bass.

The only way to know is to take them apart again and try to reset them. Sometimes you notice something in the process. Also make sure you clean the slot for the voice coil. I use post-its since they are a little sticky.
Problem solved 😀
There was voice coil that was in contact with metal. I turned diaphragm 180 degrees. Then the stereo sound image came back.
Should be able to buy new diapragm since there are minor damage to voice coil and the sound a little impaired on cymbals. This is my opinion compared to the other speaker.

Take them apart and reset them. It is easy for the diaphragms to get set in the slot wrong when reassembling. As for the 5.3 vs 5.5, I wouldn't think it is a drastic difference, enough to hear though you should check each component before soldering to insure something isn't messed up.
I want to double check if diaphragm runs freely. Is there any good method to get this checked?

You may have to recheck the diaphragms too. Are you sure they are all seated correctly?
I Will check that before re soldering.

What do you mean by "midrange elements"?
Did you replace the diaphragms for both the midrange and tweeter, or just the tweeter?
Reheat all of the solder joints on the crossovers (and add a bit of solder while doing so).
I replaced all diaphragms.
Elements is diaphragms.
I Will do as you say Deang 😀 Thanks for your response. Cheers

.2 difference in DCR between speakers is nothing. Something else is causing the issue.
It seems that there is mid tone that plays too loudly on one speaker. There are new capacitors in crossover to middle and high tone. Transformers to the middle tone are original.
-
There are new Titanium and mid-range elements in both speakers. Only bass elements that are original. Measured speakers on terminals of different value. One speaker plays much higher than the other. what is wrong?
The speaker that plays the highest has a measurement of 5.5 ohms. The lowest player has a measured value of 5.3 ohms.
Desibel difference is about 6 decibels.
Speakers are swapped side to rule out amplifier problems.

You must use 2pcs resistors to avoid frequency offset.
The driver's ohm value is its average value. Thus, you do not measure the driver's coil value.

Using just a resistor will change the frequency of the X-over point of the tweeter, the reason for L-pad.

So I love my heresy ii's and my forte II's but I cant afford that nice tube amp yet so I am always looking for a way to lower the output of the tweeter and skwaker in both speaker sets as they are both a bit forward with my current solid state AV amp. Now I know that the answer is a better amp and that is coming!!!! but for the time being I was wondering if anyone has used L pads to attenuate the tweeter and skwaker of either of the 2 sets of speakers I own?
If anyone has used them, how did it sound? did you use fixed or variable L pads? Where did you get them or who makes quality ones? or if fixed was used what value resistors were used?
Thanks guys

I never tried it in the Chorus II. The universal can't be used with the Chorus II. I sold the La Scalas along with the crossovers. Still have the Chorus II. My regret is that i sold both pairs of La Scalas when i should have kept 1 pair, but i love my Chorus II and hoping i can get some money saved up and get crossovers from DeanG.
I have installed Bobs repair kit , and will test mid and tweeter with resistors (L-pad).

@Frzninvt I wanted to give it a shot in the Chorus II's.
How was the result?

raeggis, thanks for the link!
Here is a screenshot for when this one disappears into the darkweb too. Lol
I have tested signal generator from bass to mid , and mid to high. I get the same tone at 600 Hz. The result from mid to high was 6000 Hz on Chorus II

That is fine, I was just trying to figure out what specs you were referencing were wrong, where you were looking at the specs (web page). The pointers in this thread point to several pages and I found the cut sheets which didn't list the crossover points from Klipsch.
Since the crossovers are basically the same (very close) on a number of the line, if the speakers are up in the efficiency of the KLF 30 / Chorus II with almost the exact same components, it seems most of the listed crossovers for the tweeter are 7K. Same crossover components on the tweeter and natural rolloff on the midrange sans crossover. Can a little measurement variation or evaluation account for a 1K difference? Possibly but I don't references so can't verify.

K-48 vs Faital pro
in 2-Channel Home Audio
Posted
Chorus bass is crossing at 600 hz
Faital pro will do the same on Chorus.
The size of the speaker box should not be a problem. Faital pro has almost similar measurement data as K-48
Other brands that should work against K-48: Eminence Delta-15LF Eminence Kappa - 15 Eminence Kappa Pro 15 LF C
