Chorus II in the house!


Recommended Posts

I have only been listening to these for a few hours today but I really like the mids in these. I am listening in 7 channel stereo with the Belles in front. The strong bass is also a nice compliment to them. They took the place of my Cornwalls which will end up doing duty in the masterbedroom with my tube amp when I get them back. Also when I get my C.W.'s back I want to do a side by side test. Only complaint is I wish they were walnut instead of oak. Oh well they do sound very nice, it's good to have the great room all Klipsch again.

I took my Chorus IIs and the 2 channel electronics to the AK Fest this past spring. On guy said I had one of the top 5 rooms when compared to several high end manufactures like MAC, Manley, Quad and others. I was shocked and proud.

Chorus IIs are cool because...

1. Rumor is last desing and development PWK was intimately involved in.

2. Tractix horn

3. Eficiency rivaling Heritage.

4. Lower bass than all Heritage except KHorns

5. Faster bass than Cornwalls (I fel the need to be contraversial)

Chorus IIs are not cool because...

1. Not offered in Walnut that I know of.

2. Modest quality components in the networks

3. Should have had a passive radiator protective screen designed in.

4. my wife call them the "little refridgerators".

Nomad;

Glad all is well with the pursuit of music.
