Klipsch Chorus II for $600, yes or no?

@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 pretty excited. I know that at least with these, if I did need to pass them on, there are many willing bodies out there who would like them. The DBX (while being incredible speakers) were just a little awkward with their Soundfield tech and shape and no-one knew the name so they were difficult to sell.

I am not questioning you smartness, believe me. Just enjoy them ! I always liked the old Marantz receivers, as I thought they sounded good with Klipsch, Altecs, and JBL horns I paired them with. If yours is in great shape, using it is stereo mode, it will give you some pleasant sq, and I believe it has a midrange tone control as well. 

great buy!  I had Chorus I's oiled oak back when they 1st came out...I chose them over Forte's not based on sound but the brochure.   I had a huge living room in those days and powered them w/Carver amps....1st the 200 wpc stereo amp then the 375 wpc stereo amp that supposedly emulated a tube amp...back in those days nobody sold tube amps around here or even had one that I knew of.  Wished I coulda paired them w/tubes but have great memories of concert level party sessions.....what?  I can't hear what you said?  LOL...

Why?

@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.
