jfjacques Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Any chance anyone did the Crites crossovers and then upgraded beyond that to the ALK, etc... looking to update inexpensively if anyone has any kicking around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 the best sound for a Chorus II remains a klipsch crossover with new Klipsch capacitors from https://jemperformanceaudio.com/ -- an Active crossover is option B , but the cost is much higher - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
001 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 "the best sound"? again, how do you know this?? have you compared any or all of the options out there compared to stock mylar klipsch caps??? & even if you have done A/B blind tests of them all its just your subjective opinion... please stop telling everyone what you THINK is best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO1 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 klipsch OEM capacitors sold by JEM are the Best IMHO - and no apologies are needed - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budman Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 i have no doubt that klipsch did a great job finding a replacement cap for the heritage line, but after reading what you say, its turning people off and hurting sales 10/34858 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokinone Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I don't think Al has anything for Chorus speakers. So Crites or JEM commercially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickFL Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I was going to replace the caps on my Chorus II but replaced the tweeter diaphragms (from Crites) first and decided against changing the Xover. No soldering needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No soldering needed. That is what I have done thus far - just replated the tweeter diaphragms in these and my Academy center and havent' touched crossovers yet.

geoff. Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I bought a pair of Chorus 2 crossovers a while back for cheap on eBay to try out in some Cornwall cabs I play around with. Figured I would put new caps in while I playing around. The crossovers didn’t come on the terminal cup so I put them on a breadboard afterwards. As a sidenote if you go this route try to find non-ferrous screws (pending on these...). The toughest part of replacing the caps was actually removing them from the boards. Once you get that out of the way and bend the leads with a pair of needle-nose pliers they snug back in the board soldering is a snap. Had to stack a couple caps on end to squeeze them in the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
