I would have to second Paully on this one. I bought my Choruses from a friend and he had a pair of Cornwalls and a pair of choruses for sale at the same time at close to the same price. At first I thought I wanted the the cornwalls because of the deeper bass. They sounded better at his place, the chrouses sounded a bit dull by comparison. Well, when I got the cornwalls home and set up they nearly ripped my head off they were so bright. My is room smaller and brighter than his. No matter what I did the cornwalls were too bright. I remembered how the choruses were less bright at his place, so I called my friend and explained my problem and asked if I could try the choruses instead. He agreed and I hauled the cornwalls back to his place and the choruses back to mine. They are still here today. A world of difference. They fit the acoustics of my room perfectly.
So...... the moral of this story is take a good look at the room you will be using them in before you decide on one or the other. The choruses are great speakers and deserve serious consideration. The one thing I think the cornwalls do have the upper hand on is the bass. They definetly go deeper than the choruses. Big suckers though. The choruses have a more room friendly foot print if your listening room is small.
