Hard to sell my Klipsch Heritage Speakers for a possible Harbeth upgrade.

I have both Chorus 2s and Cornwall with Bob Crite upgrades.  I was contemplating selling my Chorus 2s and decided to hook them up - LFD integrated AMP with phono stage, Crimson Audio cables, Schitt DAC and Thorens TT.  I am amazed how well the Chorus 2's sound.  Long term I plan on selling both the Chorus 2s and Cornwalls to fund a Harbeth purchase.  However, when I hook up these speakers I get cold feet.  Can the Harbeths really sound that good?

I have friends over and they think I am crazy.  And I have to tend to agree.  I cannot find a music genre that doesn't sound good through these speakers. 

As far as what I like better?  Hard to say - some days it is the Cornwalls and others the Chorus 2s.

@d2girls,
Your intention was lost and came across as an odd blanket statement. I’m certainly not going through all your post but am glad I posted so you could have a chance to explain your ‘joke’. Thanks.

@mrdecibel thank you.  I will read about dampening the horns on the Cornwall’s.  I currently prefer the chorus 2s over what Klipsch I currently have (Cornwall, Forte, and chorus 2s). 

As to what I like....detail, warmth, and a speaker that can do all genres well.  I have this perception Harbeth might fit the bill.  And if not, Harbeth tend to keep their value and selling shouldn’t be at a huge loss.

Again, I will read about additional Klipsch mods.

If your room will support such a venture, find a pair of klipschorns. This will be your endgame speaker.

I've bought and sold three sets of Snell Type B's due to sellers remorse. Speakers, especially large ones, are the most difficult of all components to sell (and sometimes replace).
