bev Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Guys! Couple questions...Dillon...isn't the Chorus II's considered part of the Heritage line? I am envious of your setup...wow! Also...JohnBoy...wanna sell that pw-2200??? Bev ------------------ Love & kisses on your Klipsch's!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnboy Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Bev, I have kind of offered it to my sister and future brother-in-law for their new house but I am not sure they will take it. Neither one is real big into this stuff at this time. If they don't want it then I will be interested in selling it to someone. I still have all the original packaging, instructions and box. And the 25 foot LFE cable I bought for it will go with it as well. I have only had it since April so it is only slightly used but in absolutely perfect condition. It is a great sub for the money I think. It just wouldn't do what the SVS's will do in my VERY open room. ------------------ Klipsch RF-3II Klipsch RC-3II Klipsch KG 1.5 surrounds Jamo rear centers Dual SVS 25-31 CS+'s Samson 1000 Amp Sony Playstation II Yamaha RX-V630 Rotel RMB-1066 Amp Yamaha 969 DVD carosel RCA Hi-Fi VCR (hardly used anymore) Sony Trinitron 36" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DillonW Posted September 4, 2002 Author Share Posted September 4, 2002 bev- I think the Chorus' were not really associated with any particular line, at least that's what I seem to remember reading somewhere on this board. I'm sure someone out there can clarify its status. I just bought them because they sounded better than everything else I had heard, outside of the La Scalas which I could not afford. Thanks for the kind words about my system, there is almost nothing that I enjoy more than watching a good movie at home. Having a good HT system justifies buying movies.... Owning movies justifies upgrading my HT. No, don't laugh... My dislogic is really quite logical. Every time I upgrade my system, I want to watch my favorite movies all over again. Watching more movies justifies the need for future upgrades, and the cycle starts again. Isn't life great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bev Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Hey guys! JohnBoy....lemme know if your sis ends up not wanting the sub...we'll talk!!! and Dillon...I think I read somewhere on this board that anything with a name was part of the Heritage line....and you know I believe everything I read here! I also share your dislogic...everytime I can do an upgrade, I fall in love with the system all over again, and must do more! It also gives me a chance to lure my friends into HT and Klipschdom...they get my old stuff, and I justify upgrading! Bev ------------------ Love & kisses on your Klipsch's!!!

Audible Nectar Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 My recollection of the Heritage line is those that PWK designed himself: Klipschorn, Belle, LaScala, Cornwall, Heresy. The Chorus, Fortes, and Quartet are not Heritage - although I like to call them the Heritage "brothers" or "cousins", due to the resemblance to the Cornwall and Heresy. Chorus and Cornwall II share the exact same tweeter and midrange, for example - so the resemblances are certainly there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrPyro Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Bill- I was going to stay out of this thread, but decided to put in my 2 cents. As far as I know there are only 3 members on this board that actually have the Ultra, HornEd, TheEars, and myself (There could be others, but they are not too vocal). I purchased it almost 9 months ago on the recommendation HornEd and TomV. When I got it, I was VERY surprised that the serial number was so small (if memory serves, its like 110 or something) considering all of the hype. Don't let hype get in the way! In BBs like this, theory, rumors, and praise/trashing tend to get over exaggerated and each BB tends to rant about one product or another. I'm sure you have seen this for products like SVS, Outlaw, Sherbourn, and Odyssey on this and other BBs. Its called the flavor of the month! However, I'm not saying that these products don't deserve the praises, they all have their positive aspects. As for the SVS Ultras, the principle reason they are so liked on this BB is that they are reasonably priced and as HornEd stated, they blend exceptionally well with Klipsch speakers (almost to the point that you don't know its a sub). So just take all of these praises with a grain of salt and if you are seriously thing about a product that ppl are raving about find out if they even own the product and how many other similar products they auditioned AT HOME prior to the purchase. Just for full disclosure, the only sub i listened to prior to buying the Ultra was the KSW-12. I took what I felt was a HUGE gamble buying it, but I am happy with it. Just my humble opinions....... -Dave ------------------ Home Theater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafishguy Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 DrPyro, I too was going to stay out of this thread but now I think it's necessary to let you know that I too have a pair of Ultra's with Samson amp. I based my buying decision on Horned's and other's recommendations. I just love them. I had the RSW-15 before and returned the 15 to the store when I got the Ultra's. As far as I'm concerned, there is no comparison between the two.

NOZ Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I was also laying low, but I will tell you all, once you've felt the impact of dual SV-Ultras, you will take reference to a whole new level.

Audible Nectar Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Yes, I know that I'm guilty of jumping on the SVS bandwagon, and do not own them, however..... I did hear the original SVS Ultra last fall, IIRC it was about the time I found this board. The demo wasn't planned, I just happened to be at a friend of a friend's when I laid my eyes on this large water heater looking device in the living room. At that time, I knew very little about them. Needless to say, the rest is history. SVS is truly responsible for getting me interested in subwoofers. I always believed that quality subbage was for wallets much deeper than mine. SVS makes that quality subbage available for the masses. I would be misleading the forum if I didn't recommend SVS. Based on that singular experience with an SVS Ultra (and that was the old Ultra), I can't recommend them enough. I would recommend the JBL Pro cabinets too, for the right user, but JBL has no more available at the tent sale. For what it would cost to obtain the JBL Pro cabinets now, I would just buy the SVS - plus the SVS do go lower than the JBL's do (and SVS need less tweaking from what I gather from the reviews and frequency response graphs reported to HTF and here). I've also spent time with the Velodyne SPL1200 and CT150, Klipsch RSW and KSW, Paradigm PW2200, and a few Polk models (whose model #'s elude me now). Aside from the JBL Pro and SVS (which I heartily endorse), the best of the above listed are the Klipsch RSW, Velo SPL1200, and the PW2200. However, when the cost of the SVS is compared to these, it's very difficult not to recommend SVS. I also recommend Outlaw frequently, since I do own a 750 amp. Like SVS, the reviews of this piece are justified, and perform well beyond the price (especially when compared to comparable offerings in retail stores). SVS & Outlaw = Value.

boomer9911 Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 Sorry, I'm late on response, but right on the money HED, exactly what he stated to me, cost effectiveness, still waiting for my test drive on svs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
