    I live in Canada and know where DFW is, lol… anyone I have ever met that has been to Texas would live there in a heartbeat!

     

    I had a pair of CF-3s, they pounded, can’t imagine how awesome CF-4s must sound.

    They sure do sound great! Excellent sounds and awesome bass.

    Hi folks,

     

    Selling my CF4's and my Oppo 93, wanted to post opportunity with the forum before going on Facebook or eBay. I am located in Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW). I also have a pair of Chorus 1 with Crates XOs and the titanium Tweeters that I am on the fence as to sell. 

     

    Here are the specifics:

    CF-4s: I am the second owner and have had these for 4 years. I am selling them as I recently acquired another set of speakers - Zu Audio Soul Supremes. There is no damage or scratches to the veneer.  I have the original sales/marketing materials that includes the receipt.

     

     

     

    Oppo 93: I have chosen to go all-in for video streaming. I have the original box, and all the accessories - wifi dongle and remote.  No issues and works perfectly. No scratches and good as new.

    Asking $350

    Chorus I vs CF-4(v.3)

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted

    After having a full night to listen to the CF-4’s, I still cannot believe how amazing they sound. The detail, clarity and realism is beyond anything else Klipsch I’ve heard, including K-horns or LaScalas. 
     

    i am going to move them into the music room to a/b them against the Chorus. My bet is the chorus are going to be reassigned to home theater duty.

    So I recently acquired a mint set of CF-4’s and I’m gobsmacked with them. They replaced my  front L & R for my home theater, the solders they relieved were R26-F, and it ain’t even close — not even by a parsec. 
     

    So hearing such detail and richness in the sound has invariably made me question whether I should move my newly recapped Chorus I to my home theater and promote the CF-4 to the audio room.  Yes, the CF-4 seem to be that good - epic sounding! 
     

    So here I turn to y’all, what do y’all think? Fully recapped + Crites Titanium Tweeter Chorus I vs bone stock CF-4? Thoughts, opinions, suggestions? 
     

    ps. If @Chief bonehead is reading this, thank you for designing such glorious ear candy machines.

    Selling my Chorus (walnut oil) - No longer selling.

    Hi there all! 

     

    I’m selling my Chorus I speakers to make room for a new set of Klipsch speakers.  The only modifications I performed is the titanium diaphragms in the tweeter. I still have the original phenolic is you want them instead. 

     

    You all know what these speakers are capable of.  If you have any questions, I am happy to answer them. And if you live in Texas outside of DFW, I’d be willing to bring them to you (Austin/Houston/San Antonio) for a reasonable cost (if my schedule allows) or meeting you half way.

    Sub advice

    in Subwoofers

    Posted

    Im considering replacing my SW12ii too. I'm curious to hear what makes the Sw12ii less desirable than the other subwoofers listed. 

     

    I'm curious to what specifics, beyond just raw brute power makes the SW12ii antiquated. 

    Anyone here have a hearing aid?

    @32blownhemi, I am hearing impaired and have worn hearing aids my entire life. I currently wear a pair of Siemens, but have worn Starkey's in the past. 

     

    What at kind of hearing loss do you have? Additionally, what type of hearing aid are you being recommended (cic, bte, etc...)? 

     

    While my hearing loss is enough to require hearing aids, I choose to to listen to music with my hearing aids. Well, if I crank up my Chorus loud enough I can hear plenty fine, but I'm sure my neighbors can hear my music too. :)

     

    Let me know how I can help.

    Scratchy noise gone

    How would you describe the scratchy sound?

     

    Is the sound metallic in nature or does it sound like a chalkboard scratch? I ask because you mention that you only hear the sound with vocals. Like BillyBob suggested, is this sound only on speaker or both L+R? Or Chorus I + Chorus II? Do you have any other speakers to test/isolate the scratchy sound?

    Hi all,

     

    I have a SW12ii and feel like it is a decent sub.  That being said, I am curious what the difference would be with a newer sub, like the rsw12 or similar.  

     

    I like thr SW12ii as it matches with my extended heritage line of speakers, Chorus I and Forte II. 

     

    I mainly notice my sub when I listen to shows/movies. In my normal 2 channel setup, I vaguely hear the sub. 

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi there, I have a pair of Chorus I and I also notice that the mids are more prominent. From what I've been told this is a design feature. 

     

    As for the "scratchy-ness", I've experienced this too on poor source material such as low quality digital music or audio from Netflix (w/o a dac).  As I understand it, the Chorus I is highly sensitive to source material and for better or worse will bring out the details. 

     

    I have the titanium tweeter diaphragms, will be having my xo refurbished by Bob soon. 

     

    Another issue I thought of was you having titanium midrange diaphragms too. Did you get a band pass modification to your xo too? Bob can shed some of the more technical details surrounding that better than I could.

    Forte II vs Chorus I

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    I defintely want to keep the Chorus for a while, at least till I get a bigger house. JimJimbo and Matthews are Klipsch Saints, both have worked with me to secure some Lascalas, something that anyone on this forum who needs advice/direction should be really thankful if they find themselves seeking.  One day I'll get some rosewood LaScalas, but for now I'm thankful and enjoying where I am. 

     

    Oh oh and who designed the Chorus? Was it @Chief bonehead? 

    Forte II vs Chorus I

    I know it sounds odd, but I really do feel as if the mid range is more prominent/noticeable/"there" vs the Forte IIs so far. I am currently driving my Chorus using a borrowed sep amp built by Maynard. I love the sound clarity and dynamics. As for low end, I have a SW12ii that use, and have the cut off set to the lowest level.
