Smoother frequency curve.  3. lighter membrane, which gives a faster response.  4. a better voice coil, for better cooling.  I have found only one drawback of this replacement speaker.  It is necessary to grind the outer diameter a little to fit the hole.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestonTom Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 To the OP and his original question, re-read what GLENS wrote in his first post. Personally, I think you  are seeking a solution in search of a problem. The bass is fine on the Chorus. There are other things that I would tackle first. Good luck, -Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they have a collaboration.  There is also a speaker manufacturer from Canada using this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raeggis Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hello.  I have changed the intro on this thread, and wish this thread could be useful for interested regardless of price ranges. Lets play some music😀 Partition with Beyonce😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechEngVic Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I see two potential issues. First, isn't the chorus ii woofer crossing at 600hz? The Faital is rated up to 4000hz, sounds more like it's meant for a 2way. Second, it lists the ported box volume as 2.95ft3, I think the chorus is 6 or 7 cubic feet. That's what I remember having owned them many years ago. Correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong. Chorus bass is crossing at 600 hz Faital pro will do the same on Chorus. The size of the speaker box should not be a problem.  Faital pro has almost similar measurement data as K-48 Other brands that should work against K-48: Eminence Delta-15LF Eminence Kappa - 15 Eminence Kappa Pro 15 LF C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found that replacing the crappy stock mid driver with either a Crites A55-g or Soldered-lug k-55v balances out the speaker giving them a fuller / bigger sound especially at lower volumes as the larger much higher quality mid driver has a reduced output of 2-3db. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most important of all for me is the higher sound pressure on the bass.  Now we also have to remember that the bass driver is very old, so once in a while you are dependent on getting this swapped out for something new.  So why not use a replacement speaker that meets my wishes?

There is either a language problem or an attitude problem. In either case,  I will stay out of it and not bother with any suggestions.  Good luck, -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a recap and maybe replace the tweeter and that is all I ever do with these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raeggis Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Thanks for input regarding kp-301😃 I am sharing a photo of the Corus 2 and kp 301 II crossover filter.  Maybe someone dares to change their crossovers, and share the listening experience after change.
