The seller has only one feedback rating. Clearly a scam.

I installed the Volti crossovers, Dave A's SMAHL V2 tweeter, and the A-55-G/2 midrange drivers. There is a very nice range of adjustments for this crossover, so I opted to put everything on full blast to start. The La Scalas still sound like La Scalas, but with more detail and air. The bass is better, too. I need to let everything burn in for a few days to hear how everything settles. So far, this is the best Heart's Dreamboat Annie has ever sounded.

VTK400 pair, unwrapped and ready to install. They're huge!

Yes, and storing them stacked is not a good sign. I would make a lower offer if I were interested.

It's official. Al is retiring, and is not taking new orders. http://alkeng.com/xo_prices.html

Good clue.

10AWG copper wire Dave A's SMAHL V2 tweeters ALK, or comparable crossovers Dynamat on the mid horn Ask around for a modern crossover, as ALK is over booked. These updates made my Heresy I pair come to life in a way I didn't think possible. I'm making similar updates for my vintage La Scalas. This time I'll try the Volti crossovers.

True. He also had a capacitor upgrade option for the VX, which probably put it much closer to the VTB price.

Glad it was resolved. This is a good Fisher receiver resource to keep around as well. http://aeaaudio.com/

Update: Greg has discontinued the VX crossovers.

I would think so. They have attenuation for each output. I'll ask Greg to verify.

That was a nice deal. I was thinking about getting them and installing the new Volti crossover, upgrade the wiring, etc. Maybe next time. Come to think about it, this crossover would have been perfect for my Chorus II pair. http://www.klipschupgrades.com/vxcrossovers.shtml

It's probably the crossover. I had a similar problem with mine. If you want/need to upgrade the tweeters, use Dave A's LMAHL V2 tweeters. They're much better than the titanium upgrade.

Those would be fine. I just wanted pure copper, so I went with Furutech.

This is what I'm using now for my La Scalas: https://douglasconnection.com/product/furutech-fp-209g-gold-plated-copper-small-spade/ https://www.vhaudio.com/furutech-ft-210.html

Add insulation to the mid horns. Kilmat is what I used. This will take out out the midrange honk completely. The mids will also blend much better with the highs and lows. Cut some solid wood risers to fit your Chorus. A local carpenter made mine. They look just like the new risers Klipsch uses for the current Forte and Cornwall. The new style risers tightened up the bass very nicely. I was totally surprised at the sonic upgrade; I didn't even know the speakers had resonance issues. I'm pretty sure this is why Klipsch went to this new riser style. Replace the wiring between the crossovers and drivers. 10AWG pure copper wiring gets more current to the drivers, and that little electron boost gets you a nice rise in presence, volume, and detail across all frequencies. The current production La Scalas use thicker wire, so I borrowed the idea from them. If you're thinking about the tweeter, get Dave A's SMAHL tweeters for your Chorus. The titanium upgrade for these tweeters is nice, but Dave's tweeter is great.

After a little digging, I'll probably just go ahead and get the VTK400. It's definitely more in line with what I'm looking for, and there are plenty of reviews for it as well.

Has anyone tried these yet? http://www.klipschupgrades.com/vxcrossovers.shtml

Wow! That's a live Salvadore Dali painting.

The listing is gone, so apparently the pending $850 went through.
