Welcome to the 'Gon. The Chorus IIs are, imo, a much more satisfying experience of that " live " sound that some Klipsch models can deliver, over say the 82's and the 7's, as you experienced. I am not sure why the negativity of the 2 above posters. As you continue reading the threads here, you will find that I am an advocate of Klipsch Heritage, with years of experience with the brand. Just so you know, I feel, the Chorus IIs are a more satisfying speaker, to those speakers, the two above posters use. ymmv....Enjoy ! MrD.
Satisfaction report on Klipsch
I started my system with a McIntosh MC225 that had been rebuilt and sold by Tom at McIntosh audio. I also purchases a C220 McIntosh preamp. I play CDs and stream digital music. I started with a pair of Klipsch RF 82s. From the moment I turned them on listening to Nat King Cole sing Unbelievable, I was disappointed. I used those speakers though and enjoyed them for several years. I eventually found a pair of used RF 7s in nice shape, sold the 82s and was impressed with the 7s. However, I was still not satisfied and just did not feel like I was at the concert. Jist recently I bought a pair of really nice Chorus IIs off Audiogon. I am happy to report, that they have finally taken me to where I needed to be. I use a Mac book air and a Dragonfly Black DAC.
