wvu80 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 They don't come onto the market all that often but when they do the Chorus I goes all day long for $500. The Seller is probably going to have to find the right sucker, I mean buyer at the $1200 asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun K Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Yeah, wasn't going to get into the price since there are several intangibles there, not the least of which is the walnut finish. I do know I paid just over half this asking price for my own pair of Chorus, and those were completely rebuilt with new cabinets but with no internal upgrades. Just thought I'd throw them out here since I know they don't come up often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I track Heritage prices and I make notes what comes onto the market, and at what prices. For the sharp eyed Klipschites who post regularly on this forum they know they can get the Chorus I for about $500. But before we get to the $1200 asking price, on average you can find: Chorus II - $650 Cornwall - $800 Cornwall II - $1000 La Scala - Lots out there in good shape in the $1000-1200 range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opusk2k9 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 They go for more around here. I think I sold my pair of oak for $700. Not in this good of shape and no Crites investment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun K Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 I need some of those $800 Cornwalls in the new house, if only to hear them for a little while before I settle on what works for the room(s). Speaking of which, I need to make a post in the HT forum for some advice on my oddly-sized basement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 The going price for Heritage depends on where a person is located and what a person is willing to pay; not a spreadsheet with average selling prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in this good of shape and no Crites investment. I consider you my expert consultant for Klipsch sales in the Chicagoland area. There is a larger than usual supply of used Klipsch in your area and as you know I track whatever prices come my way from national sales.

J M O N Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I've not owned the original Chorus but is there something wrong with the ports? There just seems to be holes there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There just seems to be holes there. That's how the Chorus I was designed; no port tubes or flares. You can tune them by adding these things, just depends on what you're after. My Chorus have flared port tubes, but to be honest I haven't listened without them so I couldn't tell you what difference they make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That goes without saying. But I'm glad you said it. +++ I keep the Heritage Prices just for fun, it's part of the hobby for me. It's a research tool and a pretty good guide. The palest ink is better than the strongest memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your tracking of this data! It's helped me make a purchase decision several times, and I'm sure it will come in handy again soon. 10 minutes ago, Rivernuggets said: Yeah yeah, Rooms. Multiple systems are so much fun. Ah man, it wasn't a humblebrag or anything. I've spent the last 2 years living in a tiny house (in a place I'm not too fond of ) and that in some way has allowed me to get into a decently large house, although it's on the outskirts of the city so I'll have a hell of a commute if I ever have to work downtown. But now I do have 4 rooms I need to decide on, in terms of speakers and gear. At least I have full reign in 2 of those rooms!

Can't wait to get them into a space where they can really shine. I wish you were closer so I could collaborate on something, that's assuming you're still CNC'ing cool stuff like this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I are in our second home. Similar to you, an upgrade in space from the first. It's not imposing by any means (you've seen it!) but perfect for what we want. I hope to finish a room in the basement for a dedicated HT. Fun stuff! What a thread crap.....it's just good to see you posting Shawn.

Fun stuff! What a thread crap.....it's just good to see you posting Shawn. Oh yeah, it's fun just playing out all the possibilities in my head; I just hope I have enough gear for now since I probably won't be able to spend on much of anything else for a while. Your house is great, I love that neighborhood and if we didn't have to be close to Winnipeg I think we'd consider Madison. Looks like a really fun town. Glad to be posting here again...the job stuff took a lot out of me last year so I just didn't have any extra time. Hopefully that's all done now though. OK, end of thread crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
