They Have been sold to a great man in Kentucky!

My friend said the same thing haha. If I were to keep them any longer thats what I woud end up doing.

They Do! Thank you

They were around 20 each from what I remember.

Yes, just the diaphram not the whole driver. The caps weren't ordered from crites because I wanted more bass output from the chorus with the audiodyne capacitor. These are not my crossovers but this is how they ended up looking after a local shop did them for me. sorry for the lack of clarity on that recap.jfif

Thank you! All the work put into them was worth it. They not only look but sound great!

For the tweeter it is the crites titanium tweeter that he made to match the chorus. For the crossover the its audiodyne 68uF 400V for the large driver and sonocaps for the other drivers as jjptk said.

The second one is finished!

A lot of work has gone into these speakers to get them into great condition. First, the Veneer has been redone with a real hickory pecan veneer that looks magnificent. The tweeters have been replaces with crites tweeters as well as the crossover recapped. Additionally acoustic foam has been added to lessen cabinet resonance as well as tube ports(around 7 inch) for added bass extension. Functionally they are perfect and sound magnificent. Cometically there are only two minor issues of one cover have a small puncture that was fixed as well as on top of one of the speakers a small chipp occured in the veneer. This was filled in and stained to match the veneer and is hard to notice even up close. Selling because I need extra cash for medical school application and would love for these to go to a good home. Price I was thinking around 1200 OBO I am located in Tampa Florida and can make a resonable trip to meet If you have any further questions dont hestitate to ask!

I'm not quite sure what I should ask but a lot of work has gone into them to get them in the shape they are in and they are upgraded pretty much as far as they can be besides th crites midrange which hasn't been in stock for a while. I was thinking around 1100 obo

So it has been a while since I have posted but wanted to update the thread with what I decided to do. Long story short is one is reveneered and the other one is on its way right now. Will most likely be selling them after they are finished. Crites tweeter and recapped crossover along with added tube ports and some acoustic foam

Of course on my first post I spell it wrong. I shouldn't post past 12am haha. iaRVR you have a good point as well, I like the analogy and that's probably what I will do or at least epoxy the corner and paint it black as the veneer has no wood grain.

This Is what the fronts look like when I took the tweeters out to put in the Crites tweeters.

Thanks for the tips! I will definitely make sure not to use paper back! I got them for very cheap as the guy was just trying to get rid of them and didnt really know what he had. Even if I put 300 into them I could sell them for a decent profit but I will heed your warning for sure and concider the alternative of putting them up for sale and letting the buyer decide. The vaneer on both tops is already coming off a bit as well in other spots missing vaneer completely and one corner dented. Function wise they are perfect and have really turned me onto klipsh as even in my 12x16 room they sound magnificent. I have always heard people complain about how the horns can be harsh but I find the speakers to be very easy to listen to with a warm and wide soundstage. They definitely are easier on the ears then my JBL E50 that have been my mains for a while. Will post pictures later. Dont know exactly what to price them as is so maybe you have some thoughts on that. Thanks again for the reply and taking your time to respond. It is greatly appreciated

I was thinking around 900 ish range given the upgraded tweeters and brand new vaneer but im still not sure about the pricing. Will get pictures up later today once I get home but the fronts on them look perfect its just the vaneer that need help.

So I recently scored a pair of Black Klipsch chorus 1s for a magnificent price and I am looking to fix them up and sell them. They did not come with the risers, the covers are great except they are missing the Klisph metal logo and the vaneer was pretty scratched up so I am going to end up getting the vaneer redone(have a family friend who is an excellent wood worker). I am a college graduate student just looking to make some money off them and wondering if anybody was interested and if so what colors would be good? I was thinking of doing a two tone light/dark I have already upgraded the the tweeters to crites titanium tweeter. Just want to test the waters and see what ya people think. Located in Tampa, Florida.
