As a lover of Chorus II's let me be the first to say they have lost their marbles.

Vintage Marantz and Chorus II's make a very enjoyable match in my book. I had the 2270 and the 2325 and enjoyed them both. They were a little warmer, thicker, and less detailed sounding than say vintage Yamaha or Luxman.
As far as price, minty or pristine pairs have been going between 15-1800. My money its an easy decision at 1200. I call that a downright bargain.
Good luck and by all means have fun along the journey.

To me I think it's how it sounds live, or closer than all other speakers I have had. With the dynamic range and efficiency plus voicing it gives more of that sound as if you were watching a live show in person.
Agreed but unlike a big venue with bad sound its more like a personal show.

Same. I’ve gone through more speakers over the years than I care to admit. But, to me my current setup sounds the best I’ve ever had.Klipsch just grabs you and doesn't let go.

I am so content with the music reaching my ears.
It just feels all worth it to reach this level of enjoyment.
Klipsch Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Old/Vintage McIntosh solid state (pre and amps) is especially terrible in my experience. Rolled off, mushy midrange, bloated, sluggish bass and way more hiss at idle than I could live with.
I can just hear DJK's response. The man knew more than most of us combined.

Get spoiled on the Chorus models can beat the piss right out of them for hours at a time with 600+ watts a channel worst I've ever done is pop a tweeter and that was only a couple times
Probably entered some distortion into the mix with only 600wpc.😁 I find at 1600wpc you give in long before distortion sets in.🙂 LOL

I must of liked to rock a little too hard. I couldn't keep woofers in mine. Only speakers I've ever blown anything in over 45 years of jamming. Now the K48, now that's a woofer!

A huge speaker with a a forward voiced mid. Forte II and quartet both attenuate the squawker more relative to the woofer/tweeter.
Chorus ii sounds bigger, but to me it’s also a bit shouty compared to the other two.
I use to have the same impression back when I ran adcom gear in 1990 when they first came out. I still thought they were the best sounding speaker of that particular line which is why I bought them.
Thirty three years later and 40 amplifiers, preamplifiers, integrates and receivers later I have enjoyed them with each and every one. The most enjoyment always comes with huge power with gain controls.
Adcom, Forte, B&K, Aragon, Bryston, McCormack to name a few and then I switched over to pro gear. QSC, Crown and Carver Professional which changed my enjoyment in a big way. The ease at which the music leaves the speakers is pretty awesome in my opinion.
At this point my Chorus II's are receiving 1600 watts rms and they have never sounded so smooth and dynamic. I also admit I must have a pair of subwoofers that I eq in the mix to complete the full band effect.
I have tried many different Klipsch offerings but to me the Chorus II still stands tall.

Forums members have been asking klipsch for a Chorus III / a Heritage speaker with loads of serious bass
It would be another new purchase from me.👍

I love my Chorus II's as much as the next guy but come on.
There has to be a point where the insanity takes a back seat.

I consider them tone controls. But I am only one voice.

the Chorus series K-48 can handle 200 watts quite easily
Understatement of the day!
That K-48 just can't seem to get enough.

That should do.
Is it rated for 2 ohm power?
Any tests showing 2 ohm output?
I have a 100 watt ss amp that doesn't care, it keeps increasing output down to 2 ohms (over 300w) and is rated for 1.5 ohms (it also drove the 4 fullrange 6 ohm drivers in parallel).
As mentioned above, tube amps can be the same, just match OPTs to tube and speakers used.
Well I have ran 4 ohm Cerwin Vega DX 9s that dip into the 2 ohm territory without any hiccups. Actually they don't even break a sweat. But what they do for the Chorus II's at low to medium volume is just unbelievable. So much realism throughout the audio spectrum. But when you decide to crack the throttle I am front row at the event. 👍

I'll stick with my 1200 wpc @8ohms / 1600 wpc @4ohms ss monoblocs. What dips? 😁

Did Klipsch start carrying the K79 diaphragms again?

Fake pics...
That gets my vote. They’ve been pending since the 7th. Fake for sale add…..?. At least it’s not as bad as send payment to an overseas bank account.

The do look nice. But has the price of lascalas skyrocketed that much? How much would a late model pair of LS IIs be worth?
I would assume more than you paid for them. Klipsch are off the charts these days. Heck everything is. We aren't in Kansas anymore.
