jlmoore3rd Posted May 14, 2024 Share Posted May 14, 2024 I have a long car trip scheduled for mid June (driving my kid's car & stuff from Boise, ID to Albany, NY)... So, along the way I thought I'd try to pick up a pair of Forte's or Chorus. I have a pair of KP301-IIc's right now, which are used for the basement bar. I have had a lot of others over the years (KG-4, Heresy, KG-5, Forte, Cornwall) and I want to pick up a pair for a small listening room (12 x 16) to go with the really sweet Antique Sound Labs Wave AV-8 monoblocks I just picked up, (mostly for Jazz, Classical, and Ambient music). I'm hoping to keep the budget under $1500 for the Chorus, or under $1000 for the Forte, so I'm not looking for the Series IV models.

Iteachstem Posted June 1, 2024 Share Posted June 1, 2024 I know it's not on your list, but I just refinished a set of quartets if you're interested in the baby of the family. It has the Crites upgraded crossovers and Ti tweeters, upgraded 10" woofers, cabinet bracing between the woofer and mid, and I refinished the cabinet in a beautiful color that I've done on several other speakers showcased in the forum. I just thought I would throw it out there as an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlmoore3rd Posted June 3, 2024 Author Share Posted June 3, 2024 Thanks for the offer... I'll see what comes up between now & the time I get back to Albany, and maybe I can get down to PA & take a look.

I just like options when it comes to buying things myself. For reference, I have them set up in my 16x22 room with subs(as I firmly believe all klipsch speakers need) and they perform wonderfully. The mids and tweets are all essentially the same in that line, with the major difference being the woofer and the cabinet size associated with making that woofer work. Best of luck on your journey!

I'm pretty sure I won't be heading as far south as Lexington, but if my plans change because of the weather I'll let you know. Thanks!

JohnV Posted June 5, 2024 Share Posted June 5, 2024 (edited) I have a pair of kp301's that are modded for biamp (NOT biwire) use . they sound fine. I've been using them with an electronic over and a 4-ch power amp. It's an easy one-wire-change to make them full range... HOWEVER the woofs are currently klipsch 8-0hm, and the crossovers want an original 4 ohm load or the woof is 3-6dB quieter than it should be, hence the electronic xover. THere's a story as to 'why' which was a fun experiment. I'm north of DC. THese are the original black industrial finish Edited June 5, 2024 by JohnV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlmoore3rd Posted June 10, 2024 Author Share Posted June 10, 2024 Thanks, but I already own a pair of 301-IIc's, which are my wife's favorites (go figure, since they are butt-ugly!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iteachstem Posted June 10, 2024 Share Posted June 10, 2024 Well, on your trip if you need a chance to stretch your legs (and perhaps just listen to some speakers for fun) you are always welcome to stop by my place. I'm less than 10 minutes off of I-88. You can at least do an A/B comparison between my RF-7's and highly modified Quartets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlmoore3rd Posted June 12, 2024 Author Share Posted June 12, 2024 Well... the trailer ended up full, thanks to my friend convincing me that I needed to bring home the Cornwalls that wouldn't fit in his home, so no room for anything else!
