While dinking around on the Web the other day I found a pair of Klipsch Chorus speakers on Craig's List just down the street. The guy runs a local radio museum and purchased some really nice old refurbished radios (the ones that stand 4' tall) and the Chorus speakers at an estate sale. He didn't want the Klipsh and so let them go for a song.
From what I have read the Chorus are direct decedents of the Forte except they have a 15" subwoofer. The ones I got are almost like new, with an oak veneer. I peeked into one of the bass ports and it looks like they have been refreshed in many ways: new wire, the crossover has some new parts including some cheap electrolytic caps
Anyway, the caps will definitely go but I am curious as to what gauge of wire to use? I have read that when going to the woofer 16 gauge wire works best? What about the rest of the wiring? Any ideas/input would be greatly appreciated.
The first piece I played on them was Bach's organ piece "Tocatto de Fugue..." Wow. Then played some Ben Webster with equal satisfaction. Right now I am a floor above and the Dead sound great. Once I test my Foreplay III, and Paramounts then I shall plug them into the Chorus' (yes, it has taken awhile to get the BH system going but with crappy health and all it is to be expected. I did finish the Eros about 8 months ago and it fired right up and now is getting daily use.)
Thanks for any advice in advance.
