Mike16w Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 A local stereo shop has a pair of 12 year old Klipsch Chorus II and a pair of Cornwalls II(?). Which of these are the better sounding speaker and will they sound good pushed up to within a foot of the back wall. I have a small room (12X12). Would these speakers be to much for such a small room. I am wanting to get into small wattage tube amplifiers and need some speakers. Any help would be appreciated.

hightone Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Go with the cornwalls if placement is an issue.Klipsch and tubes work very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Phillips Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Mike, if they both are series II then here are the basic differences. They both are rated at 101 dB at a watt They both use the same tweeter (K-79-K) Cornwall II 38 to 20 kHz, K-57-K mid, K-34-E woofer, bass reflex with the port to the front. May be more suited for your plans of one foot from the wall. Chorus II 39 to 20 kHz,K-61-K mid, K-48-E woofer, has a rear 15" passive. That may be a factor with side and rear wall placement. I have found that a good starting point with rear passive speakers is 2 feet from the side walls with 1 foot minimum from back wall. Both will sound GREAT with tub amps. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike16w Posted February 1, 2003 Author Share Posted February 1, 2003 Thanks everyone with your recommendations. I will run up and see what they look like and get back with this group later for discussions on how to use them to their fullest.
