    Chorus Speakers Shame

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted

    So I bought a pair of Chorus I's 6 months ago.  I started listening to music with them and began hearing things previously hidden in some of my favorite songs.

    Yes, I was gloating and beaming about how great these speakers really are.

     

    Last week my wife was re-arranging the furniture in my man cave so as a courtesy I put on her favorite Music Choice channel, The 70's.  I sat in my lounger and listened to Rocky Mountain High by John Denver and started to appreciate the background instrumentation that I never knew existed.  I began to feel a little self conscious about liking a song again that came out when I was 7 years old.  But it did sound good, so I justified my position based on sound quality. 

    This type of closet-appreciation went on for 6-7 more songs, me finding new subtleties in each one.  Then came Shadow Dancing by Andy Gibb, a song that no self respecting alpha male ever liked or could even stand listening to.  You guessed it, I'm hearing instruments and clarity that made me want to listen to this song longer and longer.  After I'd listened to the whole thing, I felt dirty, shameful, and a loss of self esteem.  Like I came out of the closet musically. 

     

    As of today I am still ashamed of myself for what I did and how I felt.  But I knew the Klipsch community would have mercy on my soul, or pitty me.  Either way I'm cool with it.  But if you ever see me wearing Leif Garret or Andy Gibb schwag, please please slap me.

    well but lotsa people choose the BigMan upstaris to run the life and death questions...

     

    Lotsa people like to make their own decisions...and this is one where it's nobody, and I mean nobody, else's business.

     

    I will leave it at that as I am subject to moderation just like anyone else.  The boss made that clear...and fair.

    the one you done hqve is asking a doc or nurse to help....LOL....no help....on ur own!

    　

    I think if Hippocrates were here to comment, he'd say that by "Do no harm" he meant just that. Forcing people to undergo weeks or months of horrific suffering when there is no hope and they plead for relief is "harm," IMHO.

    　

    There are plenty who take the risk to help and I've known it to happen on several occasions in my lifetime. The last one I was in no doubt about, as it was my best friend of over half a century. The last time we spoke, a few weeks before he passed, I asked if he had things set as he wanted. He'd already told me he go on his own time. He pointed to the morphine drip and said he'd chosen his hospice with care. When they'd instructed his son on it, they made a big deal about "But you must never, never, never depress this and turn this valve past here! If you do so, it may depress his breathing and you will not even notice until it's too late." Couple of weeks later, with all his family around him he went peacefully and without struggle.

    　

    Death with dignity is a fundamental human right.

    well but lotsa people choose the BigMan upstaris to run the life and death questions.....if that BogMan up there done answer, than nobudy gets to move a muscle...ya know? LOL...that's a big part of it all...the rule of the Bigman to set what you can't or could do here....some even say to suffer id glorious and meeningful to the bigman idea...making laws to go around the man upstairs is risky....typhoons and all! LOL!!!!!!!!!

    MLO, you left out what I personally consider the most fundamental human right:

     

    Why do we not have the right terminate our own lives at a time and place of our choosing?

     

    Dave

    i think thats 1 you do have....the one you done hqve is asking a doc or nurse to help....LOL....no help....on ur own!

    first time try of horns, what klipcsh to try?

    Do what alot of us do.......get-em all.....lol lol

     

    So for my 2 cents thrown in the mix......when I want to get pounded in the chest with bass I'll power up my Chorus II's. The Chorus II's will pound out the bass like no other..imho....but you'll need more than 100 watts.... yea yea I know 10-20 watts gets em jumping.. but to bring out that wall out sound my big Carver TFM-55x will make those speakers come alive.. When those needles start jumping past that 300 watt mark it's like the flood gates of sound open up.....and the bass is of the chain....This combo for me is the best for that bass I so love...I have tried other amps with more power but that Carver will drive those speakers like no other "imho". I have bridged two Adcom 555II's for 600 watts at each speaker and the Carver still has that "tighter" harder hitting bass..

     

    So that's my 2 cents in the mix...I love all my speakers....but for the "bass" it's the Chorus for me.....

    (or if ya come across a set of KP-301's or KP-362's "grab-em")

     

    MKP :-)

    Not what I expected... From the Big horn. ... But this chorus keeps raising the voice here as the big banger!! Lol!! Just a regular speaker more or less with tiny horn teeter!! Carver amps... Yeah!! The Chris models are so much cheaper than the mitey horn to. But then once getting down to regular speakers they ain't much different than what I have now. Don't want the cost of subwoofers and to much weird sound from them. Thanks mister phily!!

    Long bch, koalafornia.

    Well, i heard the mitey K horn last night finally. Only for an hour or so long enough that I could see what they sound like. Boy they at loud that much is clear. They were a little scratchy sounding sometimes with some songs that have lots of high sound. The base was loud and didn't always have a good thud but sure loud....to loud??? Lol!! They are also very huge!! Wife kept yelling turn it down that kids were watching a movie and so on that wich sound was also a little mixed in. OK not perfect but at least now I know what this big dog is all about but I think I will want too here the lascalas. You know you always expect something and it is something else!!! Lol

    Sorry mytypin ain't so great since the acident.

    That's funny, between the "crucial business" and you thinking your typing is a problem you had me laughing. 

     

    You can not possibly think your typing or spelling/grammar is worse  than mine. :o  When I type spell check lights up like a Christmas tree. :lol:  Can't remember the last time I seen any crucial business here, and hope it doesn't happen again, I'm not here to concentrate.

    Thanks dtell. I was once good at this but got conked a good one on the nogin in the accident and never could do the same later or even now.
