Bumperoo

Massive speakers at 6' and 180+ pounds. I'm glad I had Altec A7s in the house when my then-future wife moved in... she'd gladly live with just about anything -aesthetically- after that. After any number of speakers I've had in our time together, the Dunlavys are the first that actually made a good impression on her sonically.

After years with horns, I've turned to the dark side.... I recently picked up a pair of Dunlavy SC-IVs that have changed my whole perspective on speakers for the time being.

They do indeed! There are a lot of 'what ifs?' with these... if I had room to store them, if I had the ability to keep them all, etc. Alas, when the new comes in, the old must go.

Little heavy on the sales technique... but I just copied from one original listing when I put 'em out there.... $1200 One set of US-made, consecutive serial numbered Klipsch Chorus II speakers in gorgeous oak veneer. The consecutive serial number have no bearing on how they sound, but makes for perfectly matched veneers that can be proudly displayed in any room. Recently given a little TLC with a couple fresh coats of Watco Danish Oil to insure the perfect luster for their next owner. The Chorus II represents the absolute top of the line for Klipsch speakers, great engineering and design and steps ahead -still!- of the original Heritage line. In fact this model was discontinued for the very fact that it was out-selling the original Heritage line models like the Cornwalls, La Scalas, Belles, etc. and hurting their bottom line, not due to a lack of positive reviews or buyer demand. The Tratrix mid horn exudes a natural, more refined and relaxed presentation than any of the previous exponential horns. The 15" woofer matched with the 15" passive in the non ported cabinet allows for deeper and tighter bass than it's forbearers -the Chorus I- or Cornwalls, etc. A number of key upgrades have been made to this pair to bring it on par with the best of speakers on the market today. Titanium diaphragms were swapped in for the original -Crites in the tweeters and Klipsch replacements for the mids- allowing for extraordinarily a clear, crisp and highly detailed soundstage with extended highs and full rich midrange. Additionally, internal wiring replaced with pure silver to the tweeters, silver coated copper to the mids and super heavy gauge Monster copper to the woofers. The entire crossover was rebuilt with high quality parts: a beefier Crites autotransformer, 12 and 14 gauge Solen air coil inductors, Dueland resistors and 1% tolerance capacitors. Vastly superior to the original crossover quality, allowing for a full, open presentation and takes full advantage of the diaphragm upgrades. Fantastic speakers that I hate to part with, but have moved along in my constant search to compile the 'perfect' stereo.

Stating a price will be highly beneficial, but not as beneficial as pictures, or even mentioning the veneer/color.

Why did you post the part about the amp? Is it a part of the sale price? I was just curious. With the upgrades and extra grill, that is a super nice price for the buyer, and he will be getting a plug and play ready speaker. I'll edit that out..... they were up as trade bait for a while, I was looking for a tube amp with a little more meat. The Cornwalls were lovely with my Dynaco ST-35, but I wanted to double up with a beefier PP amp to push the new Chorus IIs. I found just what I was looking for in a Quicksilver GLA. I'd had a pair of QS Silver 90s for a while that I ran with other speakers, but I think over a certain wattage, tube amps lose their charm.

One of my longest and closest friends is huge fan of music with a eclectic but extremely wide palette of tastes. His stereo is nothing to write home about, I can't even remember any of it offhand and that's not the point; he is quite happy. On the other hand, he spends boatloads of money every month on new music, something a lot of people don't do... especially on gear forums, including myself. I said a while back on another forum that, truth be told, the music that plays from my current stereo may sound infinitely better than it did on the stereos of my youth.... but the level of enjoyment is the same on a basic level.

Bump!

One of these days a pair of 14s or 19s will come my way....

I wish I knew for sure if these'd work in my amp, that's a great price.

They are in very good condition, combed over you can find a couple small pock marks, but no major scratches/dents/marrs.

Added pics... I actually thought I had a bunch up. Serial posted in main body.

Total scam. I'm an hour south of Pittsburgh and wrote him immediately after it was posted the last time. Time to flag it again! The response Hey Thanks for replying me . i am sorry to say i already sold it . but i suggested you that where i get it . I got it from bidsinfo(dot)net . you can get bellow 70 doller of your chossable product. it's very easy process . i wish you must be get it . Put (dot) = . All the best

They should do great for your Cornwalls. I was running them in my '75s and thought they sounded much better than stock, with the ability to attenuate tweeter and squawker output.
