Well, I was just commenting on a post that said the Chorus 2's cabinets were too small, so, it was just my suggestion to make it bigger by adding stuffing. Also, the Chorus and Fortes (both gen II) use two pieces of light sponge like foam pieces inside each cabinet, stapled to the internal sides and top/bottom. Not enough to cover the whole top, bottom and sides though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did, on my Chorus 2s, dampened the horns, driver's frame, the cabinets and added acoustic foam as well, but no stuffing. To me, the results were a bit for focus, tighter bass and cymbals, etc., but lets of that "hall" sound, less open I guess. But deeper bass. At least that's what my brain says.

Presumably PWK had some modicum of knowledge when he designed this Product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
