    Just acquired KG4s and was wondering about amps. . .

    I run mine with a Sansui 9090DB, Pioneer SX950, and a more modern Onkyo A9050 amp. Each sounds really good - with the 9090 having more bass, the SX950 smoother, and the 9050 very solid overall. As mentioned above, these don't need a ton of power to get moving. I've updated my KG4's with...

    Not thrilled with my KG4's

    Listening to Rush - Moving Pictures album through my KG4's now.....I've listened to AK experts and updated then with the Crites x-overs and Ti diaphragms. Elevated and tilted. Very solid and smooth regardless of the amp/receiver I'm using. My favorite combo with the KG4's has been my 9090DB...

    Yamaha's new crop of integrated amps

    OK - I'm a huge fan of the Yamaha A-S500. It's been playing for a week now, and I'm impressed with the overall quality and sound. The bass is solid, the mids project well, and there's so much detail. I updated the KG4's yesterday. They really came alive with the Crites crossovers and...

    Klipsch Chorus and Crites

    The installation of the crossovers and diaphragms was just finished......and yes, you'll be happy. I can't add anything to what's already been said. These KG4's sound like they've been woken up. A very simple and easy installation.

    Yamaha's new crop of integrated amps

    It's getting some hours today, and I'm really enjoying it. The Crites upgrades will get installed in the KG4's this week. I'm absolutely confident this Yamaha amp will do just fine! Adding the matching tuner and CD player will help address my OCD......I think!

    Stereo Receivers - New vs. Old

    "Do the newer stereo receivers actually sound better than vintage receivers?" Not necessarily. Well sorted vintage examples have sound qualities that are not typically duplicated in today's modern equipment. I just added a new Yamaha A-S500 amp, and have been doing comparisons between it and...

    Yamaha's new crop of integrated amps

    The Yamaha A-S500 arrived yesterday and I'm really impressed. The detail is very, very good, as is the build quality. It doesn't quite have the low end swat of the 9090, but adding a sub is easy. Overall, I'm very pleased with the sound. Upgrading the KG4's with some goodies due from Crites...

    Sansui Japan

    Excellent write up and thanks! It really brings back memories! I lived near Sendai in Fukushima in the late 60's through the early 70's (youngster back then) and the audio scene was very alive. I recall that Sansui was a coveted product at the time. My parents and their friends made it a...

    Yamaha's new crop of integrated amps

    I really like the sound and power of my Sansui 9090DB....but now you've got me thinking about modernizing a bit....would the A-S501 be comparable in sound and a good amp to power Klipsch KG4's?
