At goodwill I found an Elton John, Bob Dylan and a John Mayer concert DVD, I think these were rare finds for goodwill. I really enjoyed the concert's in surround sound and I think I am hooked. Thanks for the suggestions, I will try give them a try! Don't have much of a movie collection but see a new concert dvd collection in the future. I can see these being play more than once unlike my small movie collection.

Is your system being used mostly for HT or music. Does the forte center not have a woofer or rad. speaker? I am running chours II's and a diy chorus 1.5. as a front stage. For HT It's great for music the center was built to be slightly lower then the II's (built that way to keep tv more at eye level)and it's noticable. Not a big deal but sometimes I run a 3 channel front for music and you can notice the center channel is at a slightly lower level. Vocals are slightly lower but it still sounds good. I like your front stage but if you have a woofer and rad. to go in the forte I would try that and stand it up right so it would on the same level as the II's. For the rears if the quartets sound good/match I would stick with them. Chorus I's would be a nice upgrade for the quartets. It might be hard to set up chorus II's in the rear without a good wall or corner behind them. If possible trade/buy a nice pair of subs, I think that is your weak link. Not an expert but I would get a good front stage, look at a nice pair of 15inch subs and go from there. .02 Looked at your room again and It's hard to tell how far away the sofa is from the tv, front stage. In that long of a room you could do a 7.?.2 if you stay with the 5 way set up if you could try to move the sofa up a little get the quartets more behind you. Might help with surround experience. If you like 2 channel for music you might go with more modern klipsch surround speakers? I have no experience with the more modern klipsch speakers but l am sure some others will pop in soon.

Offer 700.00 ya never know.

Just over an hour me, if I did not buy some revel speakers last month I would buy them.

With the different numbers wonder if chorus II's have to be replaced in pairs?

Thanks! Don't look bad for the money, maybe offer 800.00.

Klipsch lascala pro's in Atlanta on cls, 1000 obo. Can't seem to copy link, just go to cls Atlanta and look under electronics.

Sorry, 70's and 80's rock but nothing to heavy metal. Davis I will try your method, thanks!

I have 3 music (concert) videos and would like to get more this year, are eBay and amazon my only choices? Any suggestion on good rock concert videos, thanks.

Have not used simple speakers but have hear good and bad about them. Maybe someone here has some real world experience with them. They may be a good choice but sometimes trying to save a few bucks costs more in the long run. If you get a know quality speaker right away you should have years of trouble free listening. .02

Got to agree, I have a pair of chorus II's and I's in my present set up. The I's have 7 inch ports and bumped a coupls notch's on bass knob. Sounds good but II's are just as tight with a little more punch. Not saying a tuned port could not sound good but still would not be an original sounding II. Got to think resell value would go down with a port. .2cents

Thanks for the info, guess I will take Lafayette off my list.

You should like the ti upgrade, I did! I would check the mids with a meter also for peace of mind. Please post what you found out about the radiator, I think I might have one going bad

I was trying to figure that out, think your right melted inductors. Ya wow! Have you checked the mid and tweeters yet?

Not an expert but towers on sides and rear can make it hard to adjust them for height. Maybe you could put a heavy curtain over all or part of the open area? If you decide to try curtains goodwill is a good place to get cheap ones.

There are some nice vintage fisher piece's not sure this is one. Until I sell some gear I am looking for a pennies to dollar deal, guess I will have wait. Thanks for the help!

Some people have braced the cab. sealed inside corners and put fill of your choice in the cab. Wal-Mart has small felt pieces you can glue to the inside of the horns to help with resonance. (If you try this spray glue works well) I did try not try the bracing, fill or sealing but I did try the felt idea and it did seem to help some. Some people have glued a 2.5 oz weight to the raditator to tune it, personal I would get a sub or 2. Another idea is to roll a piece of paper in a cone shape and put it the horn lens. Did try this but not sure if I was doing it right. If I remember moray James is the expert on this method. My system is similar to yours, chorus II, chorus I and I built a chorus center channel. (New kappa C woofer, k 61 mid and k 79 tweeter) For sides I am one kp 250 and one kp 250II, got a good deal on the pair. The center channel has an xover I built with BC parts and seems to be slightly cleaner sounding then my chorus speakers. Only reason I can think it might be cleaner is because of the new BC inductors. Maybe one of the xover guys will step in. F

Might want to look at the crossovers while your in there.

Yea looks like one woofer has been replaced, might be a kappa C.

Thanks! According to chart 100 watts output, just wondering if that's per channel. Was going to try my first vintage solid state this year but spend my budget on some new to me speakers. So looking for an inexpensive deal on one till I get to sell some of my old gear, was hoping this would be it but I don't think so. Some of the 70's Fisher gear has some good reviews, this piece little info so I think Iam going to pass. Thanks for your response it did help me to decide.

Thanks for the reply! The cost is a factor(160.00 for ti mid diaphragms)sorry did not mean to step on your thread just looking for some real world experience on this upgrade. Again thanks and I am done. As far as upgrades lascala's in front would be the next step up. Don't remember if you posted a sub with that set up, if not 2 nice subs might be something to look at/trade for. Size shape of your room and preferrence of music over HT can help with which upgrades to go with. If you decide to a 7.2 some heresy II's or kp 250's would work nice for sides with your speakers. Could trade quartets towards 1 or 2 pair of heresy's II, 250's for a smaller foot print. Could trade everything for a nice 2 channel set up, lots of ways to go. It would help to know which direction you want to go, 5. or 7. set up, atmos ? Pair of lascala's with a nice sub and a mac!

Not sure if you got my message so I wanted to thank you for sending 250II xover diagram! Don't know where you found it but it will save from opening up one of my speakers!

You have ti and xover mid range upgrade on your chorus II? How do like it compared to stock, been thinking about doing those upgrades to my chorus IIs.

Ok thanks! You don't happen to know approx. wpc on it would you.

Just wondering if the model is any good? Only things I found on net it was made in 1968 and originally sold for 320.00. I have a chance to get one for 80.00 bucks is it worth looking at?
