Klipsch kg 4.2 ebay upgrade#

These classic speakers are the great secret for producing fantastic sound for a pittance. If you have a pair that you are unhappy with, send them to me and I will put them to use! LOL! He thought I scored big time on the KG4s.

My more audiophile younger brother has a pair of Klipsch Heritages and three Marantz receivers and amps. These KG4s are quality speakers and they play instrumental music and yes even blues (should I say ZZ Topp style blues) very well. I just bought a TEAC EQA-20 equalizer that is going on the Sansui system, so I will see what it can do to improve things. Blend them together and you get a better sound. The Klipschs takes care of the highs and some of the mids and the JVCs share the mids and provide more bass. Actually the four of them work well together. What to do? No sub for me, I have a pair of muddy JVC SK-303 8 ohm three ways to pick up the slack on the bottom end. My opinion is the KG4s are lacking on the bottom end, while the mids and highs are nicely defined. The Sansui does a good job at a lowly volulme level 4 driving the Klipschs to levels that start shaking the upstairs floor. My newest vintage receiver is a Sansui G3500 Pure Power. I just sold a Marantz 2225 receiver yesterday on eBay for $200. No, I am not up to Macintosh quality, but we are getting bigger and better and that is what it is about-right? I have had a 30W Yamaha amp and DCM speakers for two decades now.

Klipsch kg 4.2 ebay upgrade#

This year I started to upgrade my audio equip. I bought a pair of KG4s at a second hand store last month for a measily $160! I never thought I would own a pair of Klipsch speakers, meaning my tightwad wife wouldn't let me spend serious money on new stereo equip., but these were too good of a deal even in her book! These speakers are real wood, so you can refinish them to look as good as they sound, too. Crites even carries the original speaker cloth for grills, logos, etc. If you are looking for a killer pair of mid fi speakers on the cheap pick up a pair of these and put in the Crites crossover and horn tweeter upgrades. If you have a pair, hang onto them and consider this cheap upgrade. Putting the horns and crossovers back in takes 5 minutes with a screwdriver, and for under $200 these speakers sound great and are ready to do so for another 20 years. I can't compare the present to 1986, but I would venture to say that these sound much better than they ever did, and as good or better than anything less than $1200 a pair I have listened to anywhere else. I have always loved these speakers, but the upgrades have me hearing things I haven't heard in years deep within some of my favorite tracks. Not wanting to try soldering myself, I removed the horns and the crossovers and sent everything to Crites to rebuild the crossover and put in the upgraded titanium diaphrams in the horns.Total cost was $200 shipped back to my door. I have kept these in pristine condition other than playing them really loud for two decades. I still have my vintage 1986 Klipsch KG4's that I purchased new, but they had become a bit dull in the mids and one horn seemed to slightly clip. You will spend hours and hours enjoying music and your ROI will be very high. I have the KG4 as my rear speakers, the heresy as my front pair, with a Klipsch subwoofer and 2 Klipsch bookshelf for front sides. I was surprised to learn that Dolly Parton (Country singer) wrote Whitney Houston (R&B singer) biggest hit! As part of a complete system IвЂ™m building, it is an experience (listening to vinyl, and CDвЂ™s instead of the low quality mp3). Given these things, itвЂ™s really not fair to just state a speaker is вЂњgood or badвЂќ.ДЇor my listening preferences, Jazz, Classical, and some Blues, R&B Soul, and yes вЂњCountryвЂќ, these KG4вЂ™s are excellent. I learned about soundstage, positioning and a whole host of other factor which SHOULD be considered. I compared my KG4вЂ™s to other systems he add, and I learned how different speakers respond to different music choices. I spent 2 hours just talking about audio systems before we even got to why I was there - to purchase the Klipsch KG4 pair. That all said, I presently canвЂ™t afford to pursue audio to learn, experience and share like he does. The gentleman literally has every high end system, McIntosh, Polk, Definitive, Klipsch, Vintage Sansui, Technics, Marantz, Pioneer and more. I purchased my KG4вЂ™s from an Audiophile and serious collector.
