I own two myself. Both are 7 channel. ATI 2007 clone. Small window dressing differences. I could have got away with 5 channels, but for the slight increase in price I figured it would pay to have the extra power if I ever decided to move to a bi-amp configuration. Your choices with this quality in this price range are extremely limited. Nothing else in class AB has this build quality and power with this many channels without doubling your budget at a minimum. Only need 1.2V to drive them to ear bleed level. With other brands you can get less for less for sure. Or go to N-core D class for something different. So different, you really should not do direct comparisons to those designs here. Sound signature is a thing. The Monolith/ATI sound is better than all but one other (AB) amp brand I have owned. That brand is Classe. Like I said before, budget doubles at least. Atmos channels do not need this kind of amplification, but it can't hurt. It is nice to have everything in one chassis too. Even thought they are AB they do run very cool. Tons cooler than my AVR temps. The amplifiers are not totally silent, but better than anything else I have owned. There also is some transformer noise in the actual amp, not in the speakers, but only in complete silence and only when your ear is less than 3 feet away from the amp. Switch gear is solid. Premium connections are solid. Main caps are Elna 85c. There are some smaller Nichicons in there too. Return shipping would be a major problem if decide you want to back out during the 30 day trial. I did have two issues and those those issues were solved by Monoprice. The first amp I got had significant feedback in one of the channel outputs, and less with 2 others. Almost like a ground loop. I tried everything I could, but resolved that the issue was not on my end. I eventually decided to return the amplifier back to Monoprice. Free return, free replacement. When I got the replacement I was shocked at how quite it was. Problem solved. My second amp came with a loose connection at the main power supply cable. I figured the weight of the 12Gauge 20amp cable connection had everything to do with that. With one phone call Monoprice gave me enough credit back so I could purchase an upgraded locking power supply cable. The new cable has a locking device which creates a tight fit and now it does not move. Ever. Problem solved. In short and not comprehensive list format, Monolith amps beat class AB amps from Denon (power/quality) Marantz (power) Onkyo (power/quality) Parasound (all but the highest models) Rotel (price) Yamaha (power/price) Still better on price but gets beat by Anthem (quality) ATI (quality) NAD (quality) Not up to the even higher standards of Bryston Classe Krell

Shut out again. Is this the last nail in the coffin for the Chorus line of speakers? What do you say?

It really is fantastic that Klipsch continues to support the Heritage brand and is bringing out these new models on a regular basis. I must say I personally am disappointed to see that the Chorus is obviously completely abandoned at this point. I am completely aware of what existing options there are, and why those options exist. I do not need anyone to remind me. This is just my own opinion and is the simply the only direction my money will flow. I am going to have to hit the technical/modification thread especially hard now. Congratulations to those who are able to take advantage of the the existing Klipsch Heritage speaker lines which continue to evolve and improve. I will be watching from the sidelines while I continue to enjoy my Klipsch Chorus II speakers which are in amazing condition and continue to perform, on certain subjective levels, over and above the Forte III.

I like the way you think. I would be devastated to loose my LCR WO Chorus II's. Glad you found a workaround here.

$150. Chicago. From reading the ad I think these may be NOS. Double check the part#. https://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/ele/d/elmhurst-klipsch-cornwall-speaker/7264197261.html Seller has another ad for one Belle top grill. https://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/ele/d/elmhurst-klipsch-belle-upper-speaker/7264268060.html

I love OPPO media players!

Deang is done. Call JEM and report back. Then if they won't do the work, call the place I suggested earlier because they are legit, but not factory accurate "voltage tranfer curve", but can definitely build a high quality board. If you read the links I post you will understand why so few are involved in this kind of work. Applied math yes, applied income...well a few actually figured that part out pretty well.

Great! Now that you understand, read this and ask again. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roll-off

Practical capacitors and inductors as used in electric circuits are not ideal components with only capacitance or inductance. However, they can be treated, to a very good degree of approximation, as being ideal capacitors and inductors in series with a resistance; this resistance is defined as the equivalent series resistance (ESR). If not otherwise specified, the ESR is always an AC resistance, which means it is measured at specified frequencies, 100 kHz for switched-mode power supply components, 120 Hz for linear power-supply components, and at its self-resonant frequency for general-application components. Additionally, audio components may report a "Q factor", incorporating ESR among other things, at 1000 Hz. Ask again once you understand all of the above including the links provided.

I am in for one first pressing, first edition, with dust jacket please. Can we get book signings done? The antiquarian book collector in me is asking a sincere question here.

Ignore. I was unaware until now. See below.

If this is in fact true, then I have no problem saying it is a very poor design choice intended for one single purpose only. What you can do then from this point forward is entirely based on your budget and willingness to move away from the original network. Anyone with the technical capability of measuring and designing a new network for the purpose of solving specific issues with a poorly designed crossover would find it very time consuming and therefore very expensive. There are countless speaker models out there in the world to choose from. A relatively low budget model will never get the attention required to address these kind of things. I own a couple of pairs of speakers, which are of a very highly regarded design, and also happen to have an extremely complex crossover, and parts count alone prevents anyone other than a few motivated owners with high level of talent and knowledge from doing any refinement except on their very own pairs. I am just saying you will likely not locate a tech, service center, or even a DIY'er who will want to do this work at a budget that will commensurate with the value of your speakers. Your choices are very limited. Compromises will need to be made. Or buy new speakers.

MADISOUND https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/ Simple. Send them a crossover schematic and they will build a board for you. Printed circuit using high quality parts. You can choose the level of quality. If you want to tweak a circuit design, just send them a valid schematic with the changes and that is what you will get. They are local for me. I have talked with the owners in person multiple times over the years. They build anything you send them. Not brand specific. They design and sell their own models also. Send them this https://community.klipsch.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=121396 or this https://community.klipsch.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=121395 They will look something like this (for demonstration purposes only)

Very cool. Nice price. Please let us know when the RP-160M's appear at 1/2 price.

I know it has been a while, but I thought it was important to add this here. I envisioned something similar earlier, but this is much better than what was available at that time. Alexa Care Hub. https://www.amazon.com/Alexa-Care-Hub/b?ie=UTF8&node=21390531011 Introducing the Care Hub, a free feature in the Alexa app that gives you new ways to remotely check in on parents or loved ones.

It’s a simple way to feel close even when you're apart. It’s easy to check in and know everything is going well throughout the day. A quick glance at the activity feed shows your loved one’s activity by category (like entertainment). You won’t see the song they played or what they said. Set up alerts to notify you if there's no activity or when the first interaction happens every day. It’s reassurance for you and independence for them. Alexa will call and send a notification to your phone if your loved one asks for help. You can then call or drop in on them through the Care Hub, or decide to contact emergency services.
