Klipsch Chorus II for $600, yes or no?
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 ther... 
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.

@mrdecibel I never claimed to be a smart man :)  But in all seriousness, yes size was the issue and I did not completely understand the massive size of the Chorus speakers until I saw them in person. I don't regret the purchase by any means, I'm p...

@rmclain Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to write that out. I have been reading since I found the Chorus II and I think I will do all of those suggestions. I want to hear them "stock" first so I can make a good comparison of the... 
DBX SF-150s, should I grab these?
While I did like the sound of them, no-one knows anything about DBX and these were a bear to get rid off. Ended up just breaking even minus the gas to go and get them. They were way too big for my space.If you had a large room such as a finished b... 
Klipsch Chorus II for $600, yes or no?
Going to pick them up tonight. Thank you very much for the advice. Will be looking into the crossover recap/rebuild. I am comfortable with soldering electronic components and reading schematics. Never tested a capacitor before so I'll need to look...

Thanks for your replies, I think I know what I need to do.About the crossover swapout, are these really necessary? What difference would it make to the sound vs. just leaving the speakers at factory spec? 
DBX SF-150s, should I grab these?

DBX SF-150s, should I grab these?
