opusk2k9 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Moving and can no longer keep these Klipsch Chorus speakers. The cabinets need some work as they were painted black by cheap paint so that is peeling. The speakers work great but these were sitting in my garage for a few years without use and upon plugging them back in - tweeters are blown. They sound fine otherwise.$175 OBO. http://kansascity.craigslist.org/ele/5205286220.html No affiliation. Look rough, bad paint job and the tweeters are blown. Still worth it.

wvu80 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Those would be perfect for me even though they are C-1's. I've found I like restoring speakers and I'd like to play with some inexpensive Chorus II's. They are way too far away for me to try to get them.

Edroom Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 if the tweeters are not working from sitting, it may be a crossover issue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthews Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I spoke with forum member, Rick, last week about these. He actually looked at the speakers and said the cabinets are shot. With out seeing the speakers yet, my plans are to first get the tweeters up and running. Hopefully it is no more than putting the original diaphragms out of my KLF-30's in the Chorus. Actually thinking this would be a great winter project. Going to build my own, custom cabinets. Make em' look pretty too Only a forum member, such as us, would get excited about driving hours to pick up someone else's discard. Updates soon... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Roadtrip! There is no such thing as just a roadtrip. Enjoy Matthews! They will blow you away and good fortune. Forum member Rick must be a Klipsch fellow. Good Show... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthews Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Geeze, I knew the Chorus were a bigger speaker. Not sure I realized how big. Those are KLF-30's behind them... Not bad for a Buck-Fifty So, my plans... 1st to replace the diaphragms with the ones I pulled from the KLF's Next, FIND SOMEONE (hint-hint) who can make new motor boards for me from Birch. Plan on building completely new cabinets for these from Birch. I can make the other cuts and fab everything together. I just need someone to help me with the fronts. Want them to be near perfect and would rather pay someone than make multiple trips to pick up more wood... Final finish will be clear poly, grill less.

billybob Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Yes man, 90 lbs. each. Something wrong with the motorboards?Check your connections first by pulling each x-over and retightening the tweeter connections as inactivity and minor corrosion may be the problem. May as well, unless it is the diaphrams, for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiminSTL Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Congrats, Matt!!! What will you do with the disemboweled 30s? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthews Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 What will you do with the disemboweled 30s? Jim, the 30's are to remain until further notice. It may be a few months to final completion on the Chorus. Something wrong with the motorboards? Billy, since I am building new cabs, I want the motorboards to match the finish of the cabinets. They will be in Birch. I think they will be a nice piece when complete. Gonna take some time... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Cool man...I like the looks of those already. Yeah, they will look good when you are done. Look good in your setup already. The best! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthews Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 The two worst spots. The entire cabs of both are rough though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
