37scoop Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I've recently added an Academy center to my KG4s with Crites upgrades and just today am now negotiating for a pair of Chorus1s, stock for L/R front. Aware of Chorus ii improvements but am getting a good price under $350.00. Will I be disappointed? Cannot place in corners but maybe a foot from the rear wall. 20x20 room. SVS sub. Yamaha HT amp. Mostly HT. Some music of all varieties. And will likely upgrade with Crites in stages. Should I hold out for Cii's or even Forte ii's? It's a 5.1 set-up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 For that money I would get the Chorus 1's. You will not be disappointed and at that price you are safe if not beaters and all drivers work. Refershed my Chorus fairly recently and they are amazing. BTW, in my humble opinion, they work well against the wall. If you have some space though, experiment. Have had KG-4's as well. Not shabby at all...good fortune.... Welcome to the forum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

37scoop Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Thanks for your replies. I'll check them out. According to the seller, they are not able to be hooked up for a listen so I'm hard pressed to figure out a way to hear them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont have one you could get a cheap stereo at goodwill/yard sale to test them with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37scoop Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Dug up an old sony AVR to take along if this goes through. Feels weird lugging speaker wires and an amp to check them out but who knows, they may be great. Not sure how to judge an FM signal and I'll be damned if I'll also lug a DVD payer as well. Recently bought an Academy from a guy who took the time to set them up in his home theatre room (he had a pair). I was able to play several DVDs through them under the best listening conditions. The circumstances with these Chorus speakers are not quite as perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a dvd may be the best way to go, you can test with the kind of music you like. Imo if there in good shape it will be worth it.

billybob Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hope it works out for you. Just speculating but, could be as simlple as not wanting to disturb someone like waf, Maybe you have them already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
