    He is still running it if you have some posts to your name.

    Generous! I didn't  buy  Dave's tweeter, at the time I was on the fence about keeping  or selling the chorus I's. If you plan on keeping them one of Dave's tweeters maybe the way to go.

     

    My review should be in here somewhere, maybe search under road show ?

    Thanks guys, my third AL5 comes in on Monday, and can’t wait.  Currently listing to “echo’s” by Pink Floyd and the sound stage with my Rogue Atlas is making me “Comfortably Numb”.  I’m in Sutherlin Oregon, pictures coming soon.

     

    😁😁

    Not sure how your imaging is but you will love 3 across the front. I would play with front stage set up first and try to get everything to mix match together.

     

    I think that's part of reason I liked the revel surrounds. Different brand than klipsch but I was able to get to them match up better with mains. I also ran 3 subs which helped alot lam sure, didn't need alot of low end from surrounds.

     

    Ran a revel b 15 upfront and 2 lilmike anarchy subs midway on each side wall. Not sure if this was addressed to me  but I live in Atlanta. Post pics of the new front stage please, good luck!

    Hey Guys would the titanium tweeter diaphragms be a worthwhile mod for Chorus l’s?

     Crites ti in both my chorus I and II tweeters, like them better than stock. Cheap to do and easily reversed, most people like them some don't.

     

    If you don't like them you can sell them here for only a slight loss.

    His present system consists of 3 AL5 La Scalas across the front, so Fortes would be a fine match with them.  They are the economy choice.  The decadent setup would be with 5 La Scala AL5s.

     

    Maybe I’m biased, because I have JubScala IIs as mains and La Scalas as surround speakers.  Those La Scalas are the best match for the mains, and serve the system well.  The system sounds great, in 2 Channel or Surround mode.

    I think he has 2 lascala's in front and was considering a third for center channel. His surrounds I believe are true surrounds and not full range like a forte.

     

    My system did consist of chorus II mains and a DIY chorus center, front stage stage. Rear surround was chorus I's. It did sound good but I lost the chorus I's when I got a deal on 4 revel c30 surrounds. I like the revel surrounds better, I liked the more ambient sound. The chorus I's at times seemed to draw the sound to the rear. 

     

    This has been my experience with full range surrounds, ymmv. Not trying to argue with anyone I am far from an expect. I ran middle level onkyo 7.2 recieve in an 11 by 17 by 8 ft room. Maybe room size, conditioning etc. could other be other factors to consider? Just trying to help from my experience. Islander I would love to hear your system, I am sure it sound fantastic! Curious how big is the room your setup is in, thanks.

    +1 to what Willland said.....

     

    George

    +2 with William

     Forte's imho would be over kill for surounds. From my experience good surrounds speakers will add better ambience that a full sized speak. Fortes not needed and a waste of money with your present system. .

    Unless the mouth isn't at least 12" from the floor I'd point it toward the ceiling.  Why not face the opening toward the listening position? You could lay the sub flat on the floor that way.

    Have  sub flat (on  casters) on floor facing listen position now. Sounds good but I want try and gain some room for a center channel speaker. 12 inches is alot so I think I will try it straight up, thanks.

    I'm referring to the sub itself.  It will be horizontal not vertical? 

    Yes sub horizontal, facing ceiling or floor. Sub access door facing listening position.

    Are you talking about orienting the sub horizontally?

    If you are talking about the plane of the mouth yes horizontal. Like a mounted TV only  sub sitting on floor with mouth point either up or down. I am trying to gain some room to put a center channel speaket in front of sub. Hope this makes sense, thanks.

    You need to ask the company that makes your driver. Not all drivers can be mounted up or down. They have what’s called a sag rating . Basically to let the builder know if it came work like that

    I will check with PE and manufacturer. Sub is presently slightly elevated off floor (casters)mouth facing forward. Considering facing mouth up or down due to center channel speaker, how will this effect SQ of sub with different placement? Would new placement affect Sub SQ dramatically? If so I will leave it as is, thanks.

  10. I am thinking of point my f20 with mouth  either straight up or down, if down sub will be elevated. Sub will be center between my mains on a 12 ft wide wall with a 60 inch TV in front of sub. Good idea, bad idea, pros and cons- thanks!

  11. What don't you like about them? Refresh as mentioned, maybe upgrades. Have you checked cabinets for leaks? Other members like the claire speaker replacement upgrade. Could be (Maybe not) cheaper/easier than selling/ buying new speakers.

     

    Good luck!

  12. Is it fixable, hard to tell from pic? Exopy and hard plastic strips from sides of speaker mount to horn body epoxy in?

     

    If. you take horn off is there a lip? Maybe drill four small holes glue and screw together or glue in four dowel pins.

    Interested in adjustable brackets/mounts that can be used with the K-510 and a heavy 2" exit compression driver.  Ideally I'd like to be able to adjust height and angle.

     

    I already have the drivers and the horns, so I am looking for brackets that can be purchased separately and not as part of a bundle (links appreciated).

     

    I attaching a pic of one example

    Try doing a search for - fiddling -

    Look for topic, fiddling around with k402 stands.

    I had KG4s as surrounds with forte mains and really liked the combination.

    I will say this, though:  If timbre matching your front LCR is important to you I would highly suggest not getting an Academy.  I tried one with Heresy mains and couldn't stand how different it sounded.

    A third forte would be the best choice, then a Quartet or Heresy as a center. 

    I ran an academy with  chorus I's and didn't really like it. The academy bass for me didn't seem to match the I's. Nice speaker just didn't work well for me as a center. Did a DIY chorus center, much better.

    Why not order the ones on e b a y that are similar.

    Just thought I would give forum a chance first. Besides thought I might get lucky and find one with mumps. Once I'm done with it I'll  be selling it unless I find a damaged one.

    Prefer complete I am not confident in my soldering skills 

    Ok,  I have some Dayton audio caps for chorus II. When I got my II's bought  ctites cap kit and didn't know they where already rebuild with Dayton audio caps.

    Any chance anyone did the Crites crossovers and then upgraded beyond that to the ALK, etc... looking to update inexpensively if anyone has any kicking around! 

    Do you need complete xover or just the capacitors?

    Anyone here have a single K-57-K diaphragm lying around, possibly from an upgrade?

     

    I have a Chorus squawker that gave up and is now reading zero ohms.

     

    Simply Speakers sells these LINK and that's always an option, but if you have one for sale please let me know, thanks.

     

     

    Crites did sell a chorus mid also, not sure if they still do but worth checking.
