    Just got some Chorus Is - is this normal?

    Hi all! I'm new to the Korner as of a couple of weeks ago when I bought some KG4s. I was absolutely blown away by the horn sound and knew I had to have more. My first upgrade was finding a pair of Chorus Is. All drivers look intact and put out sound and the crossovers LOOK fine. The mids are...

    They're definitely Series 3, in black satin, serial numbers are close but not consecutive, their feet are missing, and their bottoms are a bit scuffed. However, they're in otherwise good shape and they sounded good hooked up to a 15 year old Yamaha AV receiver. I intend to put them up on 12"...
