Klipsch Chorus or Cornwall II

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.

Different but sideways. As described above, both the cornwall and the Chorus rock.If the chorus is in mint condition, it would get my vote.

Chorus 2's.

I'm going to check out the Chorus this weekend. The guys had them from day one. From the pictures they are in excellent condition. He's asking 850 for them. I played some Cat Stevens on the ADS 1590's for the first time and they sounded sweet. is having different speakers for a warped musical taste wrong?

I've owned almost all of the Klipsch models (KHorn, Belles, LaScalas, Cornwall I & II, Chorus I & II, Forte I & II, Heresy I & II, Quartet, Epic Series, KLF Series, etc) and find the Chorus and Fortes are often the most overlooked gems of the bunch. Klipsch do work very well with Mac Gear...
