Chorus II's are a pretty large speaker and do sound quite nice. Bad part for me personally is that they have a rear passive so they will be a little more picky about placement into the room for the passive. The better of the CF you mentioned would be the CF-3's, for comparison, as they have dual 10" woofers. I've owned all 3 iterations of the CF-3's, and currently own the version 1's, but all 3 sound great to me. Main problem will be replacement parts which are rare. But personally, I prefer the CF-3 or CF-4 over the Chorus or Chorus II any day.
