j-malotky Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 Don You may want to search the archives of this Forum. This topic has been discussed before. I have heard but have not ever owned a pair Chorus2s so can not give a good comparison. If they were 1's vs Cornwalls I could. All three are amazing speakers and have that Big Heritage sound we all love. JM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hightone Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 cornwall 98.5 cornwall II 101 I think. I like them both. A good freind of mine also has a pair of chours II. They have that big sound like the cornwall. I think the closest sounding to the cornwall as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 Greetings: Well after quite some time of non-use, I finally have my C20 and MC60s hooked along with my sony 2251 Turntable. All going in to the chorus IIs. Also ran to the Cornwall IIs for a comparison. The Chorus IIs when placed correctly, in corners, just a small movement affects bass output, have a little more bottom. Not a kick in the chest, but a tad more. They sound brighter than the Cornwall IIs. For my 2 cents I think the Cornwall IIs are easier to listen to for longer periods of time. But I have no problems with Chorus IIs, I can bring the brightness down with the C20s loudness control. Otherwise all is flat, bass at the 400 hz position sounds better than the 300 hz. Treble on the -5 position. Turntable and Ortofon still a great match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Flynn Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 I have still never heard Corns. Just Heresey, LaScalas, KLF-20s, RF-7, RB-5 and a little bit of Belles. Reference and KLF line have different voicing. Direct bass driver in the Corns and Chorus II are simlar; amp and source voicing probably can make a significantly different result than the different designs themselves. Heritage is different. folded horns are in a unique group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMcD Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 I have Forte II and Quintets. What I love about them probably is a product of the midrange horn. You've got the same in yours. If you're on the look out for another pair of speakers, having the same model may be more important than what is "best". You'll probably want to eventually investigate multichannel recordings were matched speakers are important. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksdad Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 yup, now that you have your chourus you will need to upgrade the center, and sats, not only will they be too small to do the heritage justice, but timbre will also suffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donziman Posted June 12, 2003 Author Share Posted June 12, 2003 hi all this past weekend my good freind and I put the chorusII cornwalls together powered by A denon 5802 140 times 7 the cornwalls are lowder than the chorusII we had the volume at plus 5 for all you denon lovers I am still deaf it had to be 120 decible in that room I have not ever heard any thing that. So if your looking for the best by corwalls hands down but I still love my chorusII's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mace Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Hmm... loud can be good, to a point. But, there is more to music than sound pressure. As far as Cornwall I's vs. II's... I thought I read here somewhere that the I's are rated 98.5 dB/W/4ft and the II's are rated 101 dB/W/meter. When you convert the I's 98.5 rating to dB/W/meter you get 101. (4 ft = 48 inches, 1 meter = 39 inches). Is this true? Anyone have the formula for sound pressure vs. distance in air? Mace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
