  1. Thanks for the advice. Agree on the diaphragm install. Bob was kind enough to send me the install instructions and it looks relatively simple. My plan is to send my crossovers in to be upgraded. Today i I am doing my first solder work. The Chrous seller threw in a M&K mx-200. Needs new rca inputs and the pots need to be cleaned. Hopefully that does the trick and I'll have a working sub (and KLF-C7 that was thrown in as well). Here are are pictures of the passive. Thanks!
  2. Thanks! Ordered both products from Amazon. Reviews on both look great!
  3. I would like to keep these speakers for a long time. This is my 2nd pair of Klipsch, my first being a pair of KP-201 ii that lived their life hanging in a church in Nebraska. I fell in love with their sound paired with an Adcom GFA 5400, Adcom pre-amp and a M&K MX-70 subwoofer. I moved that setup to my living room (with HK AVR) and hope the project Chorus II's become my main music speakers in my office (same Adcom gear).
  4. Thanks everyone. This is great advice. To start, I pulled a tweeter. Meter told me it is blown. Good news is the mid-range tested at 11.4. The passive woofer on this speaker is punctured. Tonight I will test the other tweeter and mid-range. I also want to run a 4khz test tone to make sure the crossovers are performing correctly (advice from Bob Crites). I plan on patching the woofer with clear RTV silicone. I anticipate sending the tweeter assemblies to Bob Crites to replace and upgrade the diaphragms. Possibly also the crossovers to be recapped as well. This will be a fun project! Any suggestions on the cabinets? They are in decent shape. Should I apply any treatment to help them? They have been stored in a basement for 4-5 years by the previous owner. Thanks! kelly
  5. This is my first speaker project - I am a complete amateur. Please bear with me! I recently acquired a pair of Klipsch Chorus II in unknown condition. Listening at low levels, I can tell there is an issue at higher frequencies. I ran a frequency sweep at 8k hz. Here are the results: Left speaker - tweeter - no sound. mid-range - no sound. Right speaker - tweeter - no sound. mid-range - audible @ 8k hz I pulled the passive driver and all components appear to be original oem components. What should my next step be? Do I need to replace the diaphragms in the tweeters and mid-range? Or do I need to find a way to test the crossovers? Thanks in advance for your help!!! Kelly
  6. Gorgeous!! I should receive my Crites risers tomorrow for a pair of KP-201 II (profession version of Heresy). My speakers are raw birch painted white. I'd like to add veneer (never have done that before so I'm searching the forums for advice). Can I ask where you purchased your material from? I love the look! Thanks! kelly
  7. Also looking for badges for Chorus II. I'm not super interested in paying eBay prices. I emailed Klipsch and they will sell me "Jubilee" badges for $12 ea + shipping. I believe these are the badges are used on current Heritage models. I think they look awesome but won't be "original". Let me know if you find a stack of badges
