makos Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 My recently purchased Chorus IIs came without risers. I believe the risers on originals will work on IIs as well (if I am mistaken please enlighten me). Speakers sound perfectly fine without them but I figure they came stock with them for a reason. Also looking for a McIntosh L19 cabinet if anyone happens to have a line on one. Not willing to pay the 3-400.00 they are asking for them on fleabay.

Those are gorgeous, just not in my budget. I need to reserve my large expenditures for things of high sonic importance. Every once in a while L19s are available at reasonable prices.

Veaux Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I understand that. I'm going to get one at one point but not until I'm done collecting speakers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madman1 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I need a pair of risers for my Chorus 2 as well. Does anybody know if Crites has these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked Bob Crites and he said that he does not build them for Chorus IIs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madman1 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Sucks! probably just build my own then. If they come up on the bay they’ll want stupid money for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are some gorgeous looking risers. Did you notice any improvement in performance after installing them? I just purchased a spruce 8'x4"x4" from Lowes. Gonna make a couple quick and dirty 3.5" platforms to see what effect it has. I have read that some prefer an 8 to 12" stand for their Choruses so I am gonna play around a bit before deciding exactly how I will construct mine.

Also if you add 4 little feet or spikes to the bottom of the cabinets (or risers) it helps tie them down a bit with better weight distribution 90 lbs over 4 sq inches (4- 1 inch square stick on feet for example) vs 90 lbs over 300 sq inches or so without the feet.
