Bump...any interest in these at $1200 before I start trying to list on other sites?

Thanks for the interest but I'd lke to keep the whole package together for resale.

Howdy all, the guy who was going to buy these went another direction and I've been out of town a lot so just now getting these back on the market. Let me know if there is any interest.

I'll keep you in mind if these still burn my ears after swapping the original tweeters back in. I'm pretty swamped in the near term so delivery to Littleton might be a bit tough for me.

So I reinstalled the orginal crossovers last evening and listened for a couple hours. I would say the sound has become a bit smoother, less forward and maybe a little less "digital" sounding (a little hard to describe with my limited experience) but certainly a difference in the right direction for my ears. There is for sure a loss in detail at low levels and the sound is a little less focussed but it has helped some with my fatigue issue. I tried to swap one of the tweeters but connection was glitchy when trying to reconnect so I just reinstalled the Ti dome to see the changes the crossover made. I'm going to try the tweeters again hopefully today...any advice for fixing this bad connection from the old tweeter to the wire clip? Maybe they're just shot? Thanks for the help and encouragement everybody.

Sorry man, I really don't want to ship these.

Yeah the guy I got them from took some serious time sourcing them and really babied them, he wanted to keep them but also got a deal on some La Scalas and his wife said he couldn't keep both. I felt pretty lucky to get them but have been struggling with them a bit as mentioned above.

Thanks John, I may give that a whirl if nobody jumps on these.

Regarding the stain, I just went and looked. I honestly never noticed but it seems like a little extra wear to that lower left corner of the grill, hard for me tell what it is.

I'm looking at videos now, tweeter looks very easy to change. What does the cossover swap involve?

No I haven't, I'm a little nervous to crack into them and I've got no experience with doing so. It seems like a lot a Forte/Chorus from this era had the same thing done to them, upgrade the tweeters and crossovers and leave the midrange stock. Was this a Crites recommendation at the time?

Honestly I haven't decided on where I'm going next speaker wise. I really wanted these Chorus to work...I really love their energy and detail (detail at low volume levels especailly) but I'm having major issues with listening fatigue. I've tried a lineup of different amps, receivers, preamps and a tube dac but I just can't get comfortable with the sound. It's embarassing to admit but it's driving me a little nuts trying to figure out how to make them work for me...I think about it way too much haha. Anyway I'm in the stage of life with 2 grade school kids, sports, work etc where I just don't have time or money to keep playing around and buying components as fun/maddening as it is. I just need something simple that I can listen to without fatigue, I've got some old Advents playing right now, they're on loan from a buddy and they sound pretty good for being older than me. There's a really long answer to a simple question, treating this forum as free audio psychiatric care.

Yeah I'm really not too keen to get involved with any kind of shipping on these, sorry.

Howdy, I've been lurking around these forums but this will be my first post. I'll probably regret this but I'm seeing if there is any interest in these Chorus iis in oak. I've had these for about 2 years and they are in very good shape for their age. The tweeters and crossovers were replaced with Crites components in 2012 by the previous owner. I have the orginal crossovers and and tweeters in the Crites packaging. My location is 80501, Longmont, CO. Let me know if there is anything else you want to know. Thanks!
