    Looks good! I always wondered why ALK offered Forte II but not Chorus II networks.

    What's the difference between the KP-301 II's vs Chorus II's other than the pros being ported and in a smaller cabinet? The drivers are titanium, which you can buy for the Chorus II's as well. Just curious if a modded Chorus II with high end parts in a new crossover would be "better" than the pro or equal? I believe @CECAA850 had some for sale recently near me. I should have jumped on it when i had the chance.

    I suspected they were version 3. Still an amazing deal. Should have taken the CF-3's too while you were there.

    I wasn't too impressed by stock KLF-30s , but i do get jealous at all the options to mod the KLF series as compared to the lack of mods to do on the Chorus II's. There's the TI tweeters from Crites(Done. Improvement) Theres the Ti mid diaphragms from the Cornwall III and Heresy III that 99% of people seem to hate and only Moray James seems to absolutely recommend. It would require a band pass that Crites can install to his crossovers which can be reversed. I wonder if it's worth a try if i used a more warmer sounding cap for the mids? Then there's the added weight to the passive radiator that Moray also recommends which i have not tried, but supposed to extend almost as low as what the modified KLF-30 can do. So really there's just the option of choosing between Crites xover or going with higher end parts and getting Dean to make the xover. Don't get me wrong. The Chorus II to date is my favorite speaker(not comparing to KHorns or pros and never heard CF-4), as i prefer it's balance over the La Scalas and mid range over Cornwalls and Reference series. But, i'm mostly peanut butter and jealous at the people who can test the A55G mid driver and now i'm reading about the new woofer that extends even lower for the KLF-30s.

    @Born2RockU Time to update that sig!
  6. Maximus89
    I meant MY Chorus II's

    @Born2Rock Craig, get Dean to hook me up with some Chorus II networks with a discount since you have 3 of his . "Loyal customer deal" You should sell his old ones and have him build new ones with Jupiter caps for your KHorns and LS center. We can do a large quantity order I'd also suggest getting him to tame the high end of your RF-7 II's but you're deaf and love it the way it is!

    I check craigslist every day and i'm surprised this is still there after so long. The Houston market is really slow. Now i really regret selling both pairs of la Scalas, when i could have done a L/R La Scala with this Belle as C and had my Chorus II for surrounds but at the time i believe this Belle was well over 1k IIRC.
  9. Maximus89
    He's in Houston, Tx. Down the street from me! Hey Craig! @Born2Rock Sucks you couldn't get your old moniker back and had to start over!

    Thanks! I'm going to do this tomorrow! So i just ask for a pair of the new KD-15's and that's that? Don't need to verify that i am a Forte III owner or anything like that? I always assumed for new speaker parts, you have to verify you're an owner of that speaker. BTW does it come with hardware?
  11. Maximus89
    Wow! I'm so glad i checked this thread! I have 1 passive radiator on my Chorus II that has a massive tear that was re-glued by previous owner, 1 small poked hole thats still there and crayon markings from a child. Those new passives with the PWK logo look amazing! Anyone find the price? (missed the post with price. Awesome price! I was being charged $60 for a single re-cone by a local guy.)
  12. Maximus89
    Price is for each. He's willing to ship. He's willing to do 1,300 for the pair + cost of shipping but the cost of shipping puts it over my spending budget right now. Still a great deal.
  13. Maximus89
    Im not a part of that FB group so i sent him a message asking if he's willing to ship to Houston. Don't know if he will get the message because we are not "connected" and i think it goes to his junk folder. Doubt he's willing to ship anyway.
  14. Maximus89
    neve rmind ,i just saw they're sold.
  15. Maximus89
    Do universal's work for Chorus II's?
  16. Maximus89
    Weren't these on sale for like $500 a pair at one point last year? I would have jumped on them had I known about them at the time. Didn't know anything about these until I came across the Z Reviews video on YouTube. Not a fan of the look with the grill off. Overall, the RF-7 II looks much more elegant and aesthetically pleasing especially with those copper drivers, but I wonder how much of brand new speaker prices is because of wood veneer and finish? The JBL looks like a theater speaker, which is fine by me but all the plastic makes it look cheap like a early 2k era speaker and I'm not a fan of those gray drivers. If the sound is similar to the RF-7 II, then some of the reviews that say the 590 are too bright makes sense as I thought the RF-7 II was too bright for me as well. For 1k, I'd rather wait and find a pair of La Scala's or even CW with room to spare for a x-over upgrade.

    @finebokeh How did you get the custom rack veneer to look like the same distressed oak? I want to get distressed oak FIII's and possibly keep my CHII and give them the distressed oak look. Yours is as close as i've seen it look! Can you please list the products used? Thanks!
  18. Maximus89
    I love both. I found the CHII outperformed my LS with deep/low voiced male singers, but other than deep low end, the LS wins at everything else. I can't afford a really good subwoofer for the LS and have no clue what would actually match it well, otherwise i'd keep the LS. Have all for sale in order to try and fund the FIII because curiosity gets the best of me. Maybe i'll regret it, but Klipsch keep their resale value and a great thing about older models is that if you are patient enough, a great pair at a great price will come back around eventually(might require some elbow grease to pretty them up, but i love that part!). Well, except the CF-4 ver. 1. Never seen one for sale and dying to try it out.

    OMG....I need to move to Florida...so many great deals. Wow.
  21. Maximus89
    Still not a single text or email showing interest in either of my la scalas, is there something im doing wrong or is the market just that dry right now with the holidays coming up? Maybe i just need better photos since i just assume most should know what they look like just by seeing the front, there's no pretty veneer to show off...it's just such a pain in the *** to carry them out and pose them for photos in better lighting lol.. **i even lowered the price like last week by $400
  22. Maximus89
    STROS!!
  23. Maximus89
    From my point of view(i have 89 la scala industrial splits with k-43s and AL xover), first thing to do is swap out the AL for an AA. Were all Industrial La Scalas stock with AL networks?

    Bump burried under duplicate threads
  25. Maximus89
    Yes, thanks. They are now each(pair) up on craigslist and OfferUp. The goal out there is to maximize profit of course. But for you guys, $2,300 is the goal to have enough funds for Forte III's. I know that's not necessarily "Alert" status as i'm sure most were hoping 1,500 for all 4, but I've got my mark to reach as well. I am open to trading the lesser value La Scala for a pair of CF-4 version 1's with a little bit of a cash as well. Wouldn't mind giving those a try for a while and @LeeW says I can come to demo the Forte III at his place some time, so I need to get that situated, though I respect the opinion of many on here and Cory who are really hyping the FIII. In the end, the only reason this is even up is because i'm young without my own home, so eventually 4 giant La Scalas isn't practical for someone in my position. BTW you got that right about the Texas market. Very strange market over here. You'll see Forte's for up to 1k and Chorus II for up to 1,800 lol. It's ridiculous.
