  1. Push pins. Very convenient.
  2. It happened, and it was dusty. All cleaned up now and ready for Kilmat. The K77 tweeter sounds pretty nice. I may keep them.
  3. Good timing. I just pulled one out. It's a K400.
  4. Very first update. I replaced the K-55V rubber washers. The old ones (see pic) were pretty dried out. This $8 update really does improve the mids. It's the first time I'm hearing the highs in Frank's voice. The horns in the orchestra are sharper as well.
  5. Here they are. I'm going to see just how close I can get them to the AL5s. I'll get the AL5s later, but tinkering with these will be fun.
  6. Keeping both is definitely the best idea; I just can't do it right now because of limited space. Covid killed my 'bigger house' project, but as soon as I'm back on track, the Big Klipsch Show will resume!
  7. I just did. They're a bit beat, and definitely need new crossovers. Funny thing... right now my Chorus IIs sound better.... but in the pic, you can tell they're jealous.
  8. I just wanted to see if I could get them to be mini La Scalas. I made some really good sonic improvements, but they're not La Scalas.
  9. My Chorus II crossovers. One was not functioning (short wires) so I replaced them both with new Crites crossovers. I'm passing these on to the new owner of my Chorus II experimental pair. It was a very good experiment. Is anybody rebuilding these? I just thought the new owner would like to know.
  10. This was not the plan, but I picked up a La Scala pair before I sold my Chorus IIs. All original La Scalas vs upgraded Chorus IIs; the Chorus II pair definitely have better highs, punchier bass, and more detailed mids. However, I can already imagine the sonic upgrades for the La Scalas. The Chorus IIs are jealous.
  11. Yes, they are still here. Send me a private message with your cell number if you can.
  12. Thanks. Another little audio factoid; the upright bass and electric bass are more defined and less boomy after installing the new styled solid pine risers. This may be a factory secret. Hmmmm....
  13. New Chrites crossovers, New diaphragms, New wiring, New matting for the horns. You can have the old crossovers and diaphragms if you would like them.
  14. I got the titanium diaphragms for my Chorus II speakers, as well as the Crites Chorus II crossovers. The sound is much better. However, it does not approach the upgrade of the ALK crossovers. As it turns out, ALK is not developing crossovers for the Chorus II. Is it possible to get the same ALK quality elsewhere?
  15. These were listed at $200 a few weeks ago. I guess they wised up. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/198646625570559/
  16. I've edited the title and description to better reflect upgrades and updates. I've also applied another round of Old English Wood Conditioner and Cleaner, lemon scented. They look even better today.
  17. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3080489415519559/ These speakers are ready to rock. They sound so much better than new. Perfect stage for more mods, or just to love them as they are. I replaced the tweeter and mid diaphragms, replaced the crossovers, and a few more mods. You can have the old parts if you want them. I'm only selling these to make room for La Scalas. Here's the whole list of updates/upgrades: New Titanium tweeter diaphragms New Midrange diaphragms New Crites Chorus II crossovers New 10AWG pure copper audio wiring New 2 inch risers New passive radiators New Kilmat insulation for the mid and tweeter horns
  18. I had to take the risers off my Chorus II pair. They were tattered and splintered by the previous owner. I installed the new 2 inch high style black risers for simplicity. To my surprise, the bass tightened up, and gave me a bit more punch and definition. The technical term for this sonic phenomenon is 'more better'.
  19. Very true. I actually wired the Chorus II pair with half copper/half tin wiring. Definitely better than stock wiring, but not as exciting as anticipated. Then I wired them with pure copper cables, and they came to life, just as expected. I might use an ohm meter the next time I wire speakers, but playing it by ear is working fine for me so far.
  20. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/578481823348684/ Perfect starter for Super Heresy projects, or to love them just as they are. ALK Crossovers, 10AWG copper wiring, SMAHL V2 tweeters, and more. The risers in the photo are included.
