This was a 100% splurge for me. Calling it a graduation present to myself, I went back to school for a bachelors degree in Health Science.
I have heard really good things about the build and sound quality of Justin Weber’s products so I am excited to hear this. Will get it all hooked up in a day or two. No matter what it looks cool on my desk. It will be connected to Chorus IIs

I too have have Forte IIs and Chorus IIs. Cornwall 1, II and 3s as well. Of that bunch Chorus IIs are what I kept. Regarding size Cornwalls were just too big for my spaces and not easy to stash away for future use. One reason that led me to keep the Chorus is similar to your impression of the speaker sounding fuller than the Forte II. Another factor for me was value, I kept the speakers I had the least money into that gave me the best performance. You can't go wrong with any of these speakers.
Proper placement of a "lesser" speaker could perform better than improper placement of the "better" speaker. Just something to consider.

That’s a great price on that stand. They are well made and can be taken apart for easier transport.

Looks like a darn good deal. Used prices are around $500 for older models. This is a really well-built 2-channel integrated.

They look great! Those are a timeless Klipsch look for me.

I received the Skylan stands I ordered for my RB-75s yesterday. It was not an easy decision to order these as stands can be found for much less than I paid, $385/shipped. However my only experience with speaker stands is when I used Sanus NF30 with RB5s and I remember how unstable they were. I didn't want that issue with the RB-75 so I bit the bullet and ordered these custom from Skylan. The owner Noel was easy to communicate with and I gave him the specs of the RB-75 and he determined that a 22" stand was the most appropriate height for me. From an aesthetics standpoint I did not think a 4-post stand would look right under such a tall bookshelf speaker. Noel confirmed that the 2-post version would support the weight and the base of this stand was also large enough to support the width and depth. The top plate was made to match the RB-75. After assembling and filling with rice, per Noel's recommendation, each stand weighs 21.6 lbs. Each of the square tubes holds between 5 and 6 lbs of rice. I bought 4 10# bags of rice from a local bulk foods store (Winco) and have 1 1/2 bags leftover. @ $.60/lb it wasn't expensive to fill the stands and rice is easier to clean up than kitty litter which is the other material recommended by Noel to be used to fill his stands.
I am very happy with the stands. The top and bottom plate have a really nice texture to them as do the square posts. Assembly was a breeze and the packaging was done very well. These stands are sturdy and I cannot imagine the speakers ever being accidentally knocked off.
I'm not one to be able to give a critical review of their sonic influence but I can say that they look nice, are made from quality materials and provide a very stable stand for my speakers. I feel good about my purchase even though they are twice the price of the Pangea DS400 and B7W STAV 24 and over 3X Monoprice Monoliths.

I am considering fixing these up with new tweeters but painting them black. For the first time I think with these it will be needed as that all black look is nice on this set. How did yours sound?
As a fan of that speaker I ask that you don't paint them black and leave them as is. But they are yours, do as you please 😀
I just really like the industrial look with the unfinished cab and black metal grill. Painting the cabs black would make them far less unique. Nice score!

They now have names... the grey one is Uzi and the black face is Owen.

Good name choices, short and distinctly different from the other. The training stage is awesome, not easy but oh so rewarding. My puppy training experience is only with Lab and a German Sheppard pups and no knuckleheads so I'm probably luckier than most.

Welcome dlee, $300-$1000 based on their condition. To get a more accurate value please post pictures of the speakers. Front, with and without grills, sides, tops and rears. If they have riser bases their condition would also be helpful. Your location is also good in case there is an interested buyer here.

Just to clarify the clarification the new parts from Klipsch do "look" different but they are the same part number and most importantly are mechanically the same, this has been verified by the Chief himself so the new parts will more than just "work" they are Klipsch approved factory replacement parts just to be clear that is all thanks. 😶
If I recall correctly, Mr Delgado also stated that these would be a suitable replacement for the Chorus II passive as well. 👍

Very impressive looking speakers! The way you finished the mid horn opening is like nothing I have ever seen before. That, combined with the gold finish on the tweeter reminds me of high-end Tonnoy speakers.

Wow, those really pop. It looks like you have treated them very well, good luck with your sale.

Dang, that piece is beautiful.

Sorry you are having so much trouble with your mac. I bought my Mac mini in 2012 and have been very happy with it because it just keeps working. I'm not a computer person per se and just need something that does its job. 7 years is far longer than any other pc has ever lasted me.

Here is a pair for sale

about 4-5 hours from me
I could help you out with these. They’ve been listed for quite awhile so maybe the seller would take 500-600. Figure another $150 for shipping

In case you stumble on another single I have an orphan I would sell. I have it packed away in a closet and I will get you actual pictures of it if you are interested. Otherwise it looks just like one of these.

My vote would be for a used Tundra 07-13. Test drive a model with power seats to see if that works for your wife. For me poor fuel economy is offset by low maintenance costs and SAFETY. Fewer gadgets means less problems. I am a Tundra fanboy 100%.
Good luck with your decision
