astark Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 I want to build a surround system utilizing my existing pair of Klipsch Chorus speakers. What considerations do I need to apply when selecting surround and center speakers? Any suggestions for a receiver? I am looking at a Yamaha RX-V122. Thanks for your help Al Stark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickey Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Al, I have a Chorus II based system as well. Read my signature line to see what I have, and you can also read the thread below, which gives some good opinions as to various options. http://216.37.9.58/ubb/Forum4/HTML/003823.html Hope this helps, Colin ------------------ My System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Al - See my sig for what I'm using. The SS-1s in the rear are not the desired match, however they are what fits Not familiar with the RX-V122 and couldn't find it on the Yamaha web site...

jhawk92 Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 Ah, two of my favorite board members beat me to this one...but I'll add my thoughts. Now that I have Chorus IIs as mains, I have moved my Forte IIs to the surrounds and have a pair of KG 1.2s for back center duty. Academy is the best (only??) way to go for front center as it is a perfect timbre match for the Chorus line. Here is my post concerning center channel speakers. http://216.37.9.58/ubb/Forum9/HTML/002224.html I love my current system and certainly enjoy the improvements Chorus IIs made in front and Forte IIs made in the surrounds. Soon, I'll get that review written up and post a couple pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzer Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 I have the Chorus IIs, KLF C-7 and KLF-20s and I will tell you that they sound amazing together. The Chorus are the main part of my system. About the Academy, I can get 3 C-7s for the price of it. Just my 2 cents... ------------------ Cruzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You knew I couldn't let that slide, didn't you?? The best match for the center is a 3rd Chorus, a Cornwall II, or a Forte (IMHO).

astark Posted June 29, 2002 Author Share Posted June 29, 2002 Thanks for the info Doug. The Yamaha model should have been RX-V1200. My error. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cornell Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 I have chorus 1s with the academy, and the trac trix titainum diaphram in the academy! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 The poster of this thread: http://216.37.9.58/ubb/Forum8/HTML/001138.html has the receiver you are considering. Perhaps he can shed some light on it! Also, have you checked the Denon 2802/3802s? Doug ------------------ My System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawk92 Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Zing!!! You got me there Doug! I guess I should have couched my remark by saying, "the best 'center' channel speaker for the Quartet/Forte/Chorus line is an Academy. But for those single folks or ones with high WAFs, then a third Chorus, Forte or Quartet would be even better." How's that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
