I had KLF 20s and had a friend who had Chorus ll and the Chorus ll to me sounded better. If you can afford both then get both. If you can afford the Chorus ll I would get them.

Missed a pair on Craigslist in town for $400. Just waiting still. Good thing I have Fortes to hold me over till I can find a pair of Chorus.

Just remember mistakes are fatal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF214wDC4L8

[quote user="Daddy Dee"] Never have heard the GG preamp, but can imagine that the sound is very good. [/quote] I had a GG preamp and used it with moondogs and SS amps with great results. For $500 in kit form it is a great preamp if you have the skills to build things which I do not!! You can buy it built for around $900.

This was from from CES 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pekz2XH69CY tvs will be replaced by these someday.

[quote user="Budman"]bought the money order today for the 103 so it will be awhile before it shows up[/quote] Just did the same thing.

Here is a good review of Mits 92840 that goes over the pros and cons. http://www.bigpicturebigsound.com/Mitsubishi-WD-92840-Review.shtml Went into a local tv store and they had all the tvs on a HD NFL football game. I walked into a room that had a Mitsubishi 73 tv and sat down watched it for about 5 minutes and then walked around the store looking at about 25 other tvs and the mits looked just as good(sharpnes, color, etc) as most of the other tvs. Those who say the Mits tv don't look as good

It depends on if you have the money to buy the 7s and compare them side by side to find out which you like better. Keep the ones you like and sell the other or keep one for home theater and the other for 2 channel system.

I upgraded my Fortes with new (all from Bob Crites) crossovers, mid, and tweeter upgrades and very happy. Give it a try seems like this would be cheaper than the new Klipsch model you menioned. If after the upgrades the Fortes are still not working for you you can sell them and get the new Klipsch.

I would contact Bob first and talk with him and If after the upgrades it is still not working with the Fortes and the Pioneer take them up to your 2 channel system and try them there. If you still feel they don't sound right in your 2 channel system then maybe sell the Fortes. What kind of settings do the Pioneer have for 5.1? Have you gone thru the settings to make sure something is off or sett too low?
