sprocket Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Check out these fabulous Chorus II speakers http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3076709990&category=14993 RB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawk92 Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Yeah, those are nice ones. Not sure if it was the camera, but the grain on the veener is pretty cool. These are probably about as nice as the ones I got from Win before I left CT. It will be interesting to see where the price ends up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartdude Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Damn me and my 2 vegas bachelor parties, 1 Santa Barbara wedding (not mine but 12 hour drive each way - long $$ weekend) and having to take the wife and kids to hawaii later this year...= no more buying for me for a while. I gotta stop looking at ebay or Im gonna go crazy with desire!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprocket Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 I was in talking with the seller at some length, seems like a real straight shooter. When he says perfect condition I believe him. These are the real deal and may bring a corresponding high price. Rob, The grain structure is similar to "tiger maple" with wavy lines at 90 degrees to the grain. This is unusual in maple and to my knowledge very rare in oak. Sought after by fine furniture makers. The seller reports this feature is matched on both left and right sides of both speakers. Someone should stroke a big check for these.

jhawk92 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Reg- That's cool. I'll be watching but can't afford "another" pair of big speakers...my wife will wonder about me. Then again, can you imagine a HT with 6 Chorus IIs??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Yes, very nice Chorus II Oak Oil's with a stunning agressive grain. JHawk - Wow 6 channels of Chorus II's in a HT would be stunning - Got Bass - You Will! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawk92 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 frz- Yeah, I'd have to "relegate" one of the Forte IIs for center channel duty, but it would be one hell of a system. I just don't think I'd have the room for a pair of Chorus IIs for back center/surround. My plan is to mount the KG 1.2s from the ceiling and point down towards the listener. Should still be pretty good sounding system. But that sure is a purdy pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkBK Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Those are real beauties! Where's Sheltie Dave? He should be checkin' these out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawk92 Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Reg- Yeah, probably nots. But it sure sounds fun. Besides, if the basement finishing goes well, I'll have 3 Chorus IIs up front, with the Forte IIs as surrounds. Don't think I'll have room for floor standers as back center, so the KG 1.2s should fit the bill well. Nice to dream. Maybe it will be done by the time you are out here in Oct. I sure hope someone from the board can get these...they are beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Yep Smilin Your right 6 Cornwalls would surely be awesome, I have only had mine a couple of months now and I love them. I thought I was really going to miss the La Scala's that they replaced but I find myself liking them better. I love the vertical placement of the horns and the fact that they are closer to ear level than the La Scala mid/high drivers were. The perceived bass response is much more noticeable now with the Corns in the rear. Having a pair of '62 vertical Cornwall II's with the original clear Klipsch name plates is sure nice too. I would have liked to have had Oak Oil Corns to match the Khorns but my Heresy II's are Walnut so they look good together. Someone is going to get a killer pair of Chorus II's.

stormin Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Pretty soon these speakers are going to be more than what I paid for mine brand new. Bidding wars! Gotta love em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie dave Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I did take a look see, scratched my head, and passed. That pattern is not uncommon in quartersawn oak, but is incredibly stunning in veneer! The $ these are commanding would allow anyone to get some prime exotic veneer for heritage, which is the route I will be going with my black Khorns. I don't need more speakers at this point. I hope these end up with someone who has some well lit, open room so they can plop these down front and center. They really deserve to be showcased.

jhawk92 Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Well, bidding has closed. Winning bid was $1297.02, from jabroni22. Pretty fierce bidding war for these for sure. Hope someone from the forum got them and can drive to pick them up to save them from the UPS/FedEx mis-handlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't ever recall seeing a pair sell as high as that on Ebay. They are a nice pair for sure, but that is a bunch of bucks. If the buyer pays for shipping on top of that... oy!

jhawk92 Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Dee- Yeah, that price was up pretty high, but how about the Academy that went for $935!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3077642045&category=14992 There's another Academy up on eBay, with a BIN of $850. At the rate things are going, someone may even use the BIN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
