Klipsch Chorus or Cornwall II


I have a pair od A/D/S 1590's and thinking of replacing them with Klipsch Chorus or Cornwall II. will rock n roll sound better on them and if so witch ones?
my amp is a mcintosh 7300. it should be enough power. What i had heard about klipschs is that you love them or hate them. out of the 3 speakers what one sound better with stones or even van halen. or should i look at a different direction?

thanks

No one else is going to be able to tell you if you will like Klipsch or not. You'll have to listen for yourself. Taking a poll won't help. What happens when 75% tell you to buy (or not buy) a brand and your heart is really with the minority?

You've got to think about what you want from a speaker and then choose the one that best matches your priorities.

If I was in the situation, it'd be a pretty easy decision to stand pat or look elsewhere, but then I like a broader spectrum of music than you've indicated. Neutral voice quality and natural sounding acoustic instruments are more important to me than volume and punch and I don't find Klipsch particularly strong in the areas that mean the most to me..
All Klipsch speakers sound different. I had a Mac 7270 and have owned Chorus, Herseys, Forte, K4. I still have my favorite Quartets that I no longer use. Mac and Klipsch is a good marriage. Listen to the Stones on headphones. They're great in the studio but suck live. Good luck. BTW of the 2 I'd lean toward the Chorus. You have a fantastic amp. I only sold mine after 18 years to go to tubes.
I run the Fortes and love them, but I don't think that your decision has anything to do with the sound, per se. If you want to put the speakers out in the room for optimal imaging the Chorus is for you. If your room is such that the speakers will be positioned on the wall or in the corner (hence the name "Cornwall")then the Cornies are the easy choice, as they require a wall for proper bass. Additionally, if you are going for very low power amps, the Cornies will hold sway. These speakers are not at all comparable in their applications. I don't think that the ADS can hold a candle to either Klipsch, but saying that, I have not heard a pair on over fifteen years. YMMV.
