leerocker: Thanks for the offer, I wouldnt go through all that trouble though. These pics have helped me overcome the size factor on these. In fact, im even planning on getting 1 more chorus for a center. If anyone has got a single chorus 1 for sale please let me know Thanks everyone! Got a single Chorus 2 for sale but none of the original flavor.

Left you a PM with my number dakayus

I have a few pairs of Fortes and one set of Chorus for sale in the North County (Carlsbad) area of San Diego. Shipping either of these speakers is not advised, all of mine were aquired through local pickup. The Chorus pair are WO with good corners and a few veneer dings (one big scrape) here and there 8 out 10 veneer condition / 10 out of 10 driver condition. Three pair of Fortes, one WO in excellent condition 9-10 out of 10, one OO sans risers in 8 of 10 condition (rear passive is missing dustcap

Uhm .....

Samsung has been on the bleeding edge of DLP technology since Texas Instruments started selling their chips. Mistubishi had some of the best quality CRT front (for computer monitors) and rear projection CRTs. RP CRT still has the best overall image quality for DvD movies when compared to any digital tech IMO.

I don't know a whole lot about front projectors but if you head over to avsforum.com that would be the first place that I would start for learning. Cheers

Another vote for Yammie and Klipsch combo. I got a helluva deal on a used RX-V1500 through craigslist - $200.00. The HTR series specs makes me cringe at .7% THD. The digital panny listed in this thread might be a good option to go with Buckster.

If you are looking for a good set of floorstanders and want vintage Klipsch might I suggest buying a pair of Fortes instead. They dig much deeper (-3 db @ 32 Htz) and IMO are just better overall speakers than the Heresys for two channel listening. The Quartet, Forte and Chorus are what some would term Neo-Heritage Klipsch as PWK still had a hand in their design.

Not real familiar with the AR 142 but I have restored a few pairs of ARs in the past. I don't exactly know what might be "broken" on your speakers but my guess the foam surrounds went south and need replacement (which you can do yourself). Check ebay for vintage-ar seller as he tends to stock parts for most of the 60s to 80s AR speakers. Next head to classicspeakers.net and try to gather any information or parts that you might need.
