Grizzog Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I have now heard every Heritage and Extended Heritage model except the Cornwall. I did own Cornscalas for a bit though, so I can take a decent guess at the Cornwall sound. Out of all of them...the Chorus II are my favorite. No speaker is perfect and they all have compromises. The Chorus happens to strike the perfect balance for me. Now I could explain why I like them over all the rest, but I wanted to see if I was immediately banned and shunned for not choosing the mighty Khorn first. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieStl Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Whole lot of Chorus love going on here lately. I would still expect you to be shunned by many, but you wont be alone. Maybe you guys can start your own forum. I have only heard one set of Chorus and they were the version I that Matthews had redone and they did sound great. I'm still a LS (or Belle) guy but have to admit there is a lot of merit in the Chorus I & II! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzog Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 I've heard the Chorus I as well. Although good, I find the II to sound like a completely different speaker. The way they present themselves have put them at the top for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twk123 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I have to say that since I have joined this forum I have heard nothing but praise for the Chorus speaker and its almost always followed by, "Its the most balanced speaker I have ever heard". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 And the Khorn takes a back seat? You don't show signs of needing an exorcism or dunked in the water until the bubbles stop, but the Chorus II come out beat and bruised against the Khorn....just MHO.

Grizzog Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 It really depends what you're looking for in a speaker. The Khorns are definitely awesome, but the Chorus II have some abilities the Khorns don't. As far as most balanced, I'd actually give that award to the Forte I.

richieb Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Never heard Chorus, ones or twos. Owned Fortes, both one and twos, Hereseys, CWalls, Belles, LS, now KHorns. No exile, just stone him!! But not until I hear me some Chorus ll -- but what about KLF 30? Never heard those either. But at least lets pebble him for dissin' the KHorn!!

jimjimbo Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 This is pretty timely for me, cause I'm doing a bit of fooling around with my configuration tonight and over the weekend..... There's a lot to be said for all of above mentioned, but until you've had the opportunity to A/B/C them with a switch off of the same amp/preamp/source, I'd say it's not even a fair fight between Khorns and Chorus II's. And honestly, not even a fair fight between La Scala's and Chorus II's either. The difference in the presentation and imaging is startling to me, and so much more realistic with the Khorns and LS. Side by side, next to the big boys, the Chorus II and Forte II's just sound so.....congested, and held back. I will admit that the Chorus and Fortes sound better to me via SS than through tubes. Because of that, I'm getting another MC250 that I'm going to run monoblock to the Chorus II's, which I think will make a big difference. What really, really sounds amazing is either Khorns or La Scala's paired up and running with Chorus IIs/Forte II's. Level match them, and the combo is freakin' stunning. Believe me, you don't need no stinkin' sub for La Scala's in that configuration.... Just put in the Crites Ti diaphragms into both Forte II's and Chorus II's, and they sound very good so far..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
