colterphoto1 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Here I've been struggling with whether to keep my 72 Khorns or Jubilees, when what I really need is the openness of a Tractrix horn with the deep end of a nice Heritage-y passive system. Would sell both pairs of these speakers if I could get my hands on a nice clean local pair of Chorus II. JimJimbo, this is you buddy. I think I messed up.

colterphoto1 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 I dunno, after spending time with Jubilees, every exponential horn sound squonky, LS, Khorn, CW. But I love my forte II's. Would a pair of Chorus II's be my answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeker Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 What recording is making the sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 All of them. I can hear the 'pinched-ness' of the exponential and it grates on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 am I to understand that you really like the K61 horn with the k53 non-titanium and the k402 with the k69 equally - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 what's a K61? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeker Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 k61 is the chorus ii/forte etc mid After critically listening to any certain speaker it seems like small&large characteristics with noises get so magnified in our ears especially with high efficiency. With live recordings I found myself pulling drivers and its in a recording etc I'll step back. You and others are far better at descriptions. That said, after hearing nothing other than klipsch for about a year the k69&402 are so exquisite. As is the 400/77. They are in a league of their own obviously. That said, the chorus 2 is in my opinion the next best choice especially for indoors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 oh the motor, I usually am more concerned with the sound of the horn, the K604 in this case. PWK really had it right in the 90's when he developed the Tractrix horn. I'm not so sure why I've spent so much time in Exponential-land. maybe getting K510's on my Khorns would be a good answer... I'll have some of them with B&C drivers in a bit when I get those 3x KPT904M systems over here. Time to play mix and match again I suppose [sigh] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolz Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 But I love my forte II's. I'm with you Michael, I will never get rid of my Forte II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) what's a K61? the k604 tractrix horn mated to the k53 motor was your preference- coincidently , PWK saw the future with the Chorus 2 / Forte 2 - Edited February 23, 2015 by Randyh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldred Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 They are out there. It did take me quite awhile. Actually a little less than a 4 months before I stumbled on a pair that I purchased. I will have them for life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opusk2k9 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I have 3 people asking for me to find some Chorus II's for them. There was a pair in WI that lasted less than an hour today at $750. I will lend you my pair Colter. The Chorus II are special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_RIGGED_ Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I picked up a pair from Ebay a couple of weeks and I tell you what, I hate to say it, they sound much better than my Cornwalls. The bass is amazing! RIGGED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwells Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I'm trying to talk a co-worker out of his Chorus II's. He's using them as garage speakers and it's killing me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
