  1. That was a great deal for somebody.
  2. They are made by a forum member. I've used them for my Heresys and now my La Scalas. They give you a wider sound stage of natural highs, and are very engaging. My titanium tweeter upgrades were brighter, but far less natural and narrow by comparison. If cost is a factor, do the titanium. If it isn't, get these instead: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224152702930?hash=item34308acfd2:g:6jcAAOSwBF5d5TWS
  3. Yep. There's a dealer or reviewer or dj nearby that sells like new Klipsch speakers once in a while. This may be one of his.

  5. You would like the aluminum LMAHL tweeter over the titanium diaphragm. I've had both, and the aluminum tweeter is much, much better.
  6. I had the same speaker lineup: Heresy I, Chorus II, and then vintage La Scalas. I really wanted the La Scala first, but got the Heresy and Chorus so I could experiment with mods. Now I only have the La Scalas, and they have benefited nicely from my earlier experiments. Get your La Scalas out of storage. La Scalas have great power, and you must use your upgrade powers for good.
  7. Yes, I must have clicked the wrong button or something, but here's the link. https://www.ebay.com/itm/194266046636?hash=item2d3b28a0ac:g:49oAAOSwoQphBsMx
  8. I had the same issue with my Chorus IIs. You need to apply Kilmat or some other matting material to the mid horns. That will take out the nasal effect immediately, and produce a more natural sound. Your internal wiring upgrades look nice. That alone will give you more presence, definition and tighter bass. If you'd like, you can try 10AWG copper wire to see if that helps. This is also a much better tweeter. I used the Crites titanium diaphragms in my Chorus II speakers, but this tweeter would have been a whole lot better. I used this brand in my Heresy I speakers with great results. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224152702930?hash=item34308acfd2:g:6jcAAOSwBF5d5TWS

    Chorus II

    The seller has only one feedback rating. Clearly a scam.
  10. 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.
  11. VTK400 pair, unwrapped and ready to install. They're huge!
  12. Yes, and storing them stacked is not a good sign. I would make a lower offer if I were interested.

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

  17. 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.
  18. True. He also had a capacitor upgrade option for the VX, which probably put it much closer to the VTB price.
  19. Glad it was resolved. This is a good Fisher receiver resource to keep around as well. http://aeaaudio.com/
  20. Update: Greg has discontinued the VX crossovers.
  21. I would think so. They have attenuation for each output. I'll ask Greg to verify.
