Klipsch Chorus II or Forte II - Secondary system

I have a secondary system in my basement that's been neglected for years. It's a combination of Rotel electronics combined with a pair a DCM TimeWindow 1a speakers. They are nice speakers, but I really have no reason to listen to them when my main listening system has Vandersteen speakers that do everything better.

I've decided to shake things up a bit by going a completely different path with the sound of my second system. I want to go from the more laid back sound of the the DCM's to a more in-your-face rock sound.

I've narrowed my choice to a set of Klipsch Forte II or Chorus II's based on whats locally available and price. I'm looking for opinions from anyone that's listened to these. The Forte II's have a better bottom end, but the Chorus II's are generally regarded as a better speaker. My preference would be to NOT use a subwoofer.

Thanks!

Congrats on the chorus 11. they were my go to rock speakers in the late 80s early 90s . With 101 sensitivity they really can play loud .

I had children and sold them to my good younger friend . Still rock out to them when I visit .

I had a Yamaha preamp and 160 watt Yamaha amp connected to them . They rocked but after a while the horns sound to harsh . By the way ,never bass shy with power . 15 inch drivers will push some air with 2 3inch ports .
