It sounds like you have already decided, get the Fortes which have better bass and you know what your buying. Knowing and auditioning speakers is getting difficult with the lack of brick and mortor stores. Good luck and BTW that is really a 180 in terms of sound style.
Klipsch Chorus II or Forte II - Secondary system
I have a secondary system in my basement that's been neglected for years. It's a combination of Rotel electronics combined with a pair a DCM TimeWindow 1a speakers. They are nice speakers, but I really have no reason to listen to them when my main listening system has Vandersteen speakers that do everything better.
I've decided to shake things up a bit by going a completely different path with the sound of my second system. I want to go from the more laid back sound of the the DCM's to a more in-your-face rock sound.
I've narrowed my choice to a set of Klipsch Forte II or Chorus II's based on whats locally available and price. I'm looking for opinions from anyone that's listened to these. The Forte II's have a better bottom end, but the Chorus II's are generally regarded as a better speaker. My preference would be to NOT use a subwoofer.
Thanks!
