I've had a pair of Klipsch Chorus II speakers since 1995. They were purchased new from a shop in Beverly Hills, CA and have followed me around the country ever since. The Klipsch pair replaced four Braun L-1030s, wonderful, themselves. Along the way, the Klipsch pair served as front left and right in a 5.1 home theater system, and were powered by various home theater amps from Pioneer, Yamaha, Marantz, and Denon. These days, they have been reassigned to a 2-channel stereo system. Last month, I installed new Crites crossovers and titanium tweeter cones. Last week, they got a new power source, a MAC6700 receiver purchased after a lot of soul searching, financial planning, and consultation with Audio Classics. I followed advice here and repositioned the speakers 18" from the walls in my living room. All I can say, now, is WOWOWOW. The Mac-Klipsch combination has brought my Chorus II speakers to life. I am getting such wonderful sounds from them, resulting in hour after hour of listening, from FMHD, CD, Internet radio (ClassicFM in London a favorite), and even Pandora streaming. I always liked the Chorus speakers, but it was like running a Corvette with a big engine at 15mph in a school zone -- there was so much more there. I always said when I was buried I wanted to take the Chorus II speakers with me. Now I actually have to purchase the three adjacent burial plots to make sure that happens. Mcintosh and Klipsch are a match made in heaven.
