dtester Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Just got me a Chorus I with Crites crossover upgrade as a new center channel to go with my Cornwalls. Sound is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornfedksboy Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Congrats! Looks fantastic!!! Should the speakers be higher so as not to block the ports, or does that matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtester Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Well my fabric is the GOM acoustical and my screen is acoustically transparant as well. My goal was to keep the mid-ranges at ear-level while seated. Not sure it that is right or not. But you got to love those Klipsch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisoxpurdue Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 The ports are pushing air, not just sound. I do not know enough to tell if the the fabric is ok to place directly in front of the ports. The mid-ranges at ear level is probably the best idea. I am sure you want to make sure the ports are working properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 not sure exactly what I'm looking at here. Is there a screen that drops down in front of these for a projector? If so is that the "fabric" someone" was talking about? Also a question from a non heritage guy. Most people that have the reference line use larger woofers for their left/right fronts than for their center channel. But what I see in this photo is a much larger woofer on the center speaker than the left and right channels. How does that effect the sound? Do you change the crossover settings to get more bass out of your center (because you have the bigger driver available)? Or if you keep the settings the same are you not taking advantage of the center driver? I know almost nothing about heritage so sorry if these question sound odd.

wuzzzer Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 The speakers all have 15" woofers. Its an optical illusion due to the fact that the Cornwalls cabinets are significantly wider than the Chorus cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 ahhhhhh lol ok. That seems pretty perfect then. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtester Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 OH, they are working. I tried to get these babies up near reference level and could not take it. But they sound wonderful. Used Audussey to bring everything in line and now my concernt blu-rays sound just like you are there. Heritage line rules!! Hard to believe speakers this old; sound this good. And shopping the secondary market, the price cannot be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtester Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 JasonJCarney - there is a screen that is manually put up and the brown is the acoustical fabric panels that round out the stage wall. My home theater is still in the constrcution phase. Like was pointed out the woofers on all three are 15". I cross over between 60Hz & 80Hz and allow the subwoofers to go lower. In a home theater these speakers just make the mids & highs come alive and they add just enough mid-bass to compliment the subwoofers. If you've never heard any of the Heritage speakers you need to give them a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
