mikega Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Ok, while just about pulling the trigger on some Klipsch HOW speakers I ran into some Chorus 2s. Question. What are your thoughts on pairing them with my 2270? Do you think 70-80 watts will get the most out of these speakers? Thanks for any input. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the real Duke Spinner Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 You will.most likely be listening at 1-3 watts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikega Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 I'm a novice. Does that not bode well for this pairing? I've read these speakers need some push but have no experience with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 the Marantz 2270 will be ok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 If both units are functioning properly, you will be happy. @mikega 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikega Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 Cool. I'm pretty good with the receiver end. I just took the whole thing apart, deoxed, inspected capacitors and circuit boards. The unit is working great. I didnt expect to run into these chorus 2s for a good price. They really weren't on my radar. Thanks for the help.

Later, you can enjoy the sound by refreshing the crossover caps... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amped Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 If you get the C2's for a good price, do it. I bought mine just before the plague. I looked for a set for over a year and I'm glad I did. I had to get them shipped but still ended up well ahead of what they seem to go for now. BTW, deang re-did my caps but said the old ones were all within spec. I had gotten the parts already. Enjoy them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikega Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 They are in pristine condition at 1200 bucks. Most I ve seen here are 2500-3000. Comments? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amped Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 If you can sell them for what you paid or better, just do it. Worst case, you’ll enjoy them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormin Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Vintage Marantz and Chorus II's make a very enjoyable match in my book. I had the 2270 and the 2325 and enjoyed them both. They were a little warmer, thicker, and less detailed sounding than say vintage Yamaha or Luxman. As far as price, minty or pristine pairs have been going between 15-1800. My money its an easy decision at 1200. I call that a downright bargain. Good luck and by all means have fun along the journey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
