For example, I see may cheap pioneer 3-way speakers from the 90's online listed for sale for more than they were new! Are people trying to play the nostalgia card? These sounded mediocre for the time period and would be considered pretty bad by today's standards. It's funny how the price of everything goes up, but somehow our paychecks seem to stay the same! Just wait for the hyper inflation to kick in full force..... ugh! I knocked down my old shed this summer... it needed to be replaced years ago when I bought my place! ( I focused on remodeling the entire inside of my house first) Well, my design calls for just over 100 8 foot 2x4's. Traditionally these have always been around $2. Well, when I went to home depot, I did a double take when I saw the same lumber is now $5.17. So, needless to say, I turned right around and went home. I know many factors are causing the price hike, such as the mills being closed for a bit, distribution issues and temporary shortages caused by continued demand etc. But hopefully the prices will return to normal after a while! Yea lumber just went up abut 40% around here, and good luck trying to find treated lumber. My brother builds hi-end homes, he just started 2 homes in the 1 million range (lot of value around here) He has a clause in his contract about a potential increase in price based on material cost increases, but it's not enough to cover 40%. A lumber package for that type of home can approach 250K. No wonder he has gray hair! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetest Taboo Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 There is probably nothing within Klipsch line you can sonically upgrade to from Chorus IIs if you don't have room and corners. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Chorus II's, KG4s and KG2s. I haven't listened to Lascallas or Khorns and I don't think i have room for them to breathe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted September 5, 2020 Moderators Share Posted September 5, 2020 Or the 396's, the new Forte, same size or smaller or Cornwall which is slightly bigger than a Chorus ll. Now these are new and cost more than older models used, but sonically better. imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
