Ragsdale4 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I recently purchased 2 Klipsch Chorus speakers both have hand written tags and were in storage for years,. I purchased them from an estate and when i get a chance i can send you pictures. These 2 speakers have the woofer in the back, and i haven't had the courage to pry off the front grill to see what is in the front. Are there any tricks to prying off the front grill or do i just use a screwdriver? They sound absolutely awesome by the way. I have them hooked up to my old 200 watt Magnavox amp and i can easily frighten the neighbors 2 blocks away when i turn up the volume. I have looked all over on line and i cant find any pictures anywhere of Chorus speakers with the woofer in back. Thanks, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ole Dollar Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 @Ragsdale4 first welcome to the forum. I believe you have the Chorus II's since the Chorus I's had ports instead of the passive radiators. I bought my Chorus II's in 1991 and they are great speakers. The front grill is held on by magnets to make removing the cover easy. I use a butter knife or other smooth thin object to slide in between the grill and the speaker edge to pop the grill out far enough to get a grip on it and then pull it away from the speaker - I take the grill off every time I listen to them, which is often.

Ole Dollar Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Additionally the original spec sheet is available on the Klipsch site and you can follow this link or put Chorus in the search on the Klipsch site - not this forum site. https://www.klipsch.com/products/chorus-ii-floorstanding-speaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragsdale4 Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Oh, that's not a speaker in the back its a Passive Radiator. I didn't realize that a passive radiator was basically a speaker cone without a magnet in it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 You used to see some companies using sort of a membrane style passive radiator rather than a cone. Not sure if anyone still uses them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
