angusruler Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 about using a pr of Chorus II's in a 2 channel setup? i will be driving them with a Fatman MKII hybrid tube amp pushing 25 w per channel. i've been using my cw's in the setup, and they sound GREAT! with the ht setup i have, i think the cw's will work better with my heresy I's as the rear, and the cw's as my fronts. thoughts?

wuzzzer Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I think you will thoroughly enjoy them. I started with a 2 channel setup with my Fortes, eventually experimented with different surround speakers and now am back to only the Fortes. No regrets!

SilverSport Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 running Chorus IIs with Crites Titanium Tweeter Diaphragms and Nakamichi STASIS SS power right now...wonderful...tried it with a Panasonic XR-55 digital receiver as well as an EICO HF-81...beauty across the board...

Rivernuggets Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Been using a Chorus II pair (all original) in two channel for a couple months now with a Harman Kardon 730. Haven't tried any other receivers with them.....sounds snotty, but I don't feel the need. I think you'll love your Chorus IIs for stereo. I remember the price you paid, too. Amazing.

BigCliff Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I think I would try the same thing if I had your equipment. The worst that can happen is you will have to switch back; been there and done that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angusruler Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 thanks fellas. yea, can't beat the price! i'm helping rid myself of guilt by installing new woofs, tweeter diaphragms, refinishing the cabs, and rebuilding the xovers! should have about $450 invested when all is said and done. i'll probably replace the mid diaphragms eventually also.

oldtimer Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Chorus II's were designed to be used in a 2 channel set up. No problem there. Otherwise you probably don't want to know our thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would replace the xovers first, have a listen and go from there, get to hear the difference from each change, nice 2 ch setup. [Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbsl Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I agree! Wait 2-3 weeks between each upgrade, that is what I did with my Fortes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angusruler Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 NAW! the only reason i "wait," is $$$$$! tweeter upgrades, replacing woofers, etc. are easier to explain to the wife because they don't take up more floorspace! although i'm very lucky....my wife LOVES the way my cornwalls, etc. look. she says they look "classy!" she didn't really like my "phaze" of hanging energy and other speakers on the walls.
