I'm more into music and occasional movie watching. Since I'm original owner of my Chorus II's, I never gave the RF 7 II's much thought until I recently bought a pair of bookshelf 150's for a smaller ht system. I played with them a bit on my main system in 2 channel with a sub and was amazed at the detail coming from tweeters. So, that got me thinking about RF7's. My main sysytem for ht does have older Reference rears and center (REF IV RC62). At work right now, I forget the model of the rears.

Just so wondering what everyone's opinion is on upgrading Chorus II's with Crites crossovers and tweeters vs buying the RF 7 II. Which will perform better for HT and 2 channel?

Interesting. I would think it would mess with the soundstage imaging for 2 channel. I don't really have the ability to run 4 subs in the room anyways... Furniture, fireplace, etc. I need to stick with two and try for seamless pairing and the ability to keep up with my Chorus's.

Yes, Denver, Colorado... Where your music listening pleasure can be enhanced legally... Truly in the "sweet" spot As for Rythmik, I'm reading really good things about them and they seem to be the choice for many audiophiles. Haven't ruled them out by any means. As for filling my large room, the Chorus's do it with ease. Along with the kitchen and up to the bedrooms above. Just seeking a pair of tight music focused subs that can keep up with them. Would not adding more subs in multiple corners screw up the soundstage for music? Music is my goal, HT is completely secondary.

DIY... I don't think that's an avenue I will go down. Just replacing the crossovers and tweeters in my Chorus's with Crites is as much as I want to handle.

2 channel stereo music is my main use. I actually like the cylinder look of the SVS PC-12s. They're the same height of my Chorus II's. From what I have researched they're very tight and perform well for 2 channel music when placed just to the outside of the mains and ports are sealed. I was concerned it may be too much bass, as I'm not looking to shake the foundation and not much of action movie fan. Occasional movie watching in 5.1(2) is about the extent of my theatre interest. Not sure if four subs would be necessary.

I checked out the 15Mk2. It seems quite solid. Will look further into them.

Looking for a little feedback on a good subs (2) for my Chorus II's. 2 channel stereo is my goal. Currently have one sealed servo 12" Velodyne that does a decent job at lower levels, but can't keep up at high volumes. My room is large, 8500+ square feet in volume. 19' x 23' with an open flat ceiling 20' above. Have to use long wall. To the left is a fireplace and windows on each side. To the right is open to the rest of the house and stairs. Rear is basically half wall open to kitchen, the other half a solid wall. Not the best acoustic environment, but getting a full fabric sectional the runs the entire length of the rear wall actually helped. My Chorus's sit approx 13' on each end of my cabinets and 65" LED. The sweet spot on the sectional is also 13' from the front, forming a perfect triangle. Anyhow, a dealer is pushing my towards a pair of REL T9's (sealed 10" front firing) due to their SpeakON high level connection. I still have concerns about them matching well with My Chorus II's and filling my listening room. I'm leaning towards a pair of SVS PC-12 Plus with a normal LFE connection to a very near in the future Marantz 7011 av. Will probably still use sub crossovers instead of receiver's for 2-channel stereo.

The Simply Speaker passive repair kit showed up today. If I have time this weekend I'll get 'er done. Meanwhile, I'll be using the ripped passive as a port.

I believe it's designed to work with a passive and not a port.

Yes, it was for the passive. Hopefully it won't be a hard repair. The guy I was talking to made it sound like it was quite easy, but he never offered me the option of Speaker Exchange doing the work. If he had, I would have opted for that instead of a repair kit that cost almost double. Just my luck.

I called Simply Speaker on Friday and all they told me is they have a "repair kit" that is $75 for the passive.

Yes, titanium... my mistake.

I ordered a repair kit from Simply Speakers for the passive... $75. It does look like a mouse could have been the culprit, but we have two cats and have seen no evidence of mice in our house. I'm still puzzled as to how it happened. Anyhow, I'm going to order the Crites crossovers and aluminum tweeters. The tweeters look simple enough to replace, hopefully the crossovers won't be too difficult.

If I go with the B&W's CM10's or Revels 206's, or possibly the 208's, I would more than likely pair the Chorus II's with my Pioneer SX-980 for the time being as it's headed down to the basement. The wife has been very patient with me having my retro Pioneer C-88's,or as she calls them "Brady Bunch speakers", in our family room, but them and the SX-980 are distend for the basement, which isn't necessarily a bad thing being basement bound. It tends to be a man cave type of retreat during parties and is where my vinyl is stored along with some other 70's relics. A keg-a-rator and a pool table and gym equipment helps round off the basement.
