tlarwa Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Well, I have the KG4.2's and wanted to try the Heritage line. So I bought a nice set of H2's, figuring I'd run them with my sub. I popped in the Crites Ti diaphragms from the 4.2's and tried them on the floor (with the risers), on a 24" stand, on a 14" stand ... no matter what I just couldn't get them "right" for my ears and in my room. Not that they weren't acceptable, but they weren't good enough to live with daily. So, off they are going. I'm on the prowl for a nice set of Forte II or Chorus II. Since they are big and expensive to ship, pick-up somewhere within reason of SE WI (Milwaukee area) is preferred. Northern WI, Minneapolis area (I have a son at the U), Chicago or south, even Western MI will work. Obviously I'd consider Cornwalls too, I just dont see them come up around here very often. What's out there? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlarwa Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 I saw all those. With the exception of the overpriced Chorus II's in Minnetonka (which is a haul form here) none of them are II's, they're all original versions. And I don't really want the smaller Quartet. I'm going big or going home (within my budget, anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I popped in the Crites Ti diaphragms from the 4.2's I may be wrong, but I don't think the Ti diaphragms from the KG 4.2 are compatible with the Heresey II.

tlarwa Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Yeah, they are. Bob Crites confrmed it. A bunch of models use the same 1" Ti diaphragm. Maybe you're thinking of the KG4 and not the 4.2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Those Quartet are priced right, i would jump on those if i was shopping around, dam good sound for a smaller set of loudspeakers. The Chorus II's are not out of line if they are clean. I would not let my last pair go for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernuggets Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I'll post a message here and/or PM you if I see anything Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlarwa Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 I just know I'll regret settling for the Quartets, even though I know they're good speakers. I'd rather hold out for what I want. I would consider the Chorus II's at that price if they weren't almost 400 miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlarwa Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Thanks. I've been watching the Madison CL. I get up your way quite often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opusk2k9 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 There are a black Chorus II in Indy for $1K, not likely any closer for you. http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/ele/4039817853.html The $875 isn't to bad for oak Chorus II with boxes in good condition. I love my Forte I's (I have never had a pair of Forte II). I think they are a very overlooked speaker and will always pick up another pair, if I find a bargain.

tlarwa Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 I just emailed him before you sent this. Hopefully he'll get back to me today. There's also a pair of black one's in St. Louis for $500 that I've requested pictures of. If they look good it might be a road trip this weekend!
