Klipsch Chorus II for $600, yes or no?

@richopp why what?
I got the speakers, I'm very happy with them. Demo'd last night on my NAD C372. I can't believe the efficiency of them, I could barely move the volume knob 10% and they were already loud enough for me. Great sound out of them.

Why those over others was my total question.  Sorry about that.  Busy today.

Excellent reasons--go for them if they sound like YOU want them to in YOUR ROOM.

So happy someone loves their gear because it gives them the music they love that they hear the way THEY want to hear it.

If everyone was the same, there would only be one maker of gear, right?

CONGRATS!

Ahh @richopp yes, I guess I'm always curious about trying new components that I've read about or heard about and not experienced for myself. The reviews and the almost cult following that the older Klipsch speakers have led me to believe that there was truly something there to be heard. They were right, the speakers are incredible. Definitely the best speakers I have heard in my life and I'll be holding onto these for as long as I can.

The next task is going through and trying all the different amplifiers I have to see what fits best. Would have got to the Marantz 4270 last night but it doesn't take Nakamichi plugs which is what I had wired up to the Chorus IIs and I was too lazy to swap out for regular speaker wire. I may do that over the weekend. I'm pretty excited about all of it.

My wife was blown away by the sound quality, she was grinning the whole time going through her iTunes library playing all her favourite tracks. Great night.

@Mangist, it wasn’t too painful, surprisingly! It was actually pretty funny in a weird way. As @mrdecibel notes, his Klipsch sounded very nice with the Marantz, so I’d go there first. I can’t speak to the others as I’ve not heard them, although I had an Adcom amp for a while and I thought it was too forward with the Klipsch.

I’ve run my Forte on a 3-5 watt SET and it was plenty loud. I’d try the Marantz and Kenwood first. I cannot emphasize this enough however, the Chorus and a rebuilt Scott, or perhaps a Fisher, will give you a gorgeous synergy.

I have a NOSValves Scott 299b and the Forte I. I’ve had a LOT of gear, much of which was excellent with the Forte, but the Scott always finds it way back. It bested, in a photo-finish, a beautifully rebuilt Sansui AU-717. The Bob Latino Dynaco ST-70 was beautiful with them, but ran very hot in summer. Sansui 881 was very good, Luxman R-1120, etc. 

The Scott’s lush tubes and the Klipsch dynamics somehow work beautifully together. I temporarily pulled the Scott and I’m using nothing more than a little Tandberg TR1020-also a very nice combination.   

So, with my Forte, I’ve settled on Scott, Tandberg, and occasionally my Fisher 500c.

Trust me, Scott and Chorus, you won’t be sorry. I’d consider letting go of a couple of pieces and Scott shopping.

@rmclain thanks. what do you think of the Scott Alpha 6? And Sansui AU-11000? Found a local guy who is selling these.
