    Klipsch KG4 - Legend continues

    I have been a big fan of Klipsch speakers for a while. I prefer older models/Heritage line. Absolutely adore my Heresy III. speakers. But also own a couple more - KG 4.5 and KG4. KG4 has always been one of the favorite speakers. They were , actually, ones that got me started with the whole...

    Rounding the korner...

    Recently while on a break at work I was outside smoking and one of my coworkers started up a conversation. I mentioned the small batch of records I scored for a buck a piece over the weekend, then my coworker mentioned downsizing and selling his cd collection. I told him I would be happy to...

    Upgrade my KG4’s currently paired with Marantz 2285

    Hello, I have a Marantz 2285 paired with a pair of Klipsch KG4’s. I love the sound of the KG 4’s but I’m thinking about upgrading to a modern speaker that is under $2K. I have am liking the Wharfedale Heritage Linton, The KLH Model 5, KEF R3 and maybe the KEF LS50 Meta? I listen to mostly Indie...

    Can you help me choose between Klipsch KG4 and Paradigm Monitor 7 v3?

    Hi guys, I'm still pretty new to HiFi and have been trying out various used and vintage speakers and amps on a budget. My current amps are an NAD 3155, Sony ST-6060, and HK 930, with the NAD the main amp in use right now. I have some pretty decent sounding bookshelf speakers but am looking for...

    Stairway to (Audio) Heaven

    So I just recently graduated college and I've been scraping by on whatever bargains and deals I can find for my audio equipment, but now I have a real job and I'm looking to start taking things to the next level. Problem is, there's too damn much audio equipment to sort through everyday (well...

    3 Pairs of Klipsch KG-4’s - $500 (Astoria, NY)

    No affiliation Seller says they were hung up in a restaurant and have some holes drilled on top but everything works. I think they can be cleaned up and it seems like a pretty good deal. Would have picked up myself but I already used up all my ‘fun’ money...

    Bought some kg4 klipsch. They are kinda beat up and have dents in the dust cover but sound great. The only problem is one of the passive woofers isn't moving. The other one moves rapidly .I switched the woofers in with the opposing cabinet .Not the woofer but the speaker cabinet seems to be the...

    Klipsch Kg4-FB possible refinishing?

    Hi all! First post! Im in the process of building stands for and hopefully refinishing. Now to my understanding the FB im the serial means that the wood is fir? The B stands for black as far as I understand. Does this mean it was one with poor veneer? Or would it be solid? Possible to sand...

    Problems with bass in one of my Klipsch KG4's

    First time poster here. I recently came into a pair of Klipsch KG4's. I paid $0, as some local dude was just looking to clear out a storage locker as fast as possible. I'm not sure he knew what he had on his hands to be honest. In any event, the KG4's looked super clean to my eyes, apart from a...

    Rebuild or replace my KG4s?

    Hello all, I've been enjoying my KG4 pair for a couple years with great success. However, they're starting to sound (and look) pretty tired. One diaphragm sounds a little raspy, and they don't match well from L to R, so something is amiss. The cabinets are rough; risers gone, corners chipped...

    Klipsch KG4: 4 ohm or 6 ohm?

    I purchased a pair of 30 years old Klipsch KG4 just a couple of weeks ago. I looked at the back panel it says 4 ohm, but I do remember reading some owners having 6-ohm KG4s. Are there two versions made? Or is there anything I don't know, like, how many variations Klipsch made out of KG4?

    Klipsch KG4 vs KG4.5 vs KG4.2

    I have just bought a pair of KG4 used, probably 30 years old. Everything is ok, but one of the woofers has a slight hiss which will stop when you tap a finger lightly on the cone, but will return after lifting off. the seller said it might need to be recoiled. I like the sound, the horn is not...

    Klipsch KG-4s with Sansui AU-7500

    Hello all, this is my first post. I've been a lurker for years and decided to make an account as I’ve been making some advances in my setup lately. I scored a Sansui AU-7500 recently, which I love the sound of. I’ve been using it with some less than ideal Ohm Model E speakers, which just sound...

    Just acquired KG4s and was wondering about amps. . .

    So I've just entered this world . . . err addiction. . . when my wife got me a TT for Christmas. I picked up a gorgeous pair of KG4s today from a nice guy who was downsizing gear. I have nothing other than a TT and the new KG4s. I know people say to use tubes with these bad boys. What...

    Klipsch KG-4 - a few questions (at the end of a long story)

    I know, these are probably most talked about speakers at least in Klipsch line. And well liked as well. Thats why I got me a pair. Well, actually, the story is a bit more complicated: While I am myself a pretty recent convert into vintage audio, I have a friend who followed in my footsteps and...

    All these speakers - my head is spinning!

    Hi all, About a year ago ( or slightly more) I got back into Vinyl and vintage audio in general. Since then it has been a rollercoaster of amps, receivers and most of all speakers. And this forum is where I get most of my information about the equipment. Pouring over the reviews and opinions...

    Potentially polarizing question regarding Klipsch

    Hey folks, So I admit it. I couldn't stand my KG-4s. I understand that that makes me somewhat of a pariah around here, but they were terrible for my ears. Too harsh, too fatiguing, and overall the least-listened-to speakers in my stable until I ended up selling them. My question is for those...

    Synergisitics Model S-62A speakers - WOW!

    Let me start from saying that I am in no way any expert when it comes to stereo equipment. I try different things as they come up, read a lot here and other places and learn from all this. I never had any experience with real "Hi End" stuff, but by now I have managed to put together a few decent...

    Vintage Harman Kardon sound

    Just picked up an HK 590i from the 80's and my KG4's sound wonderful with it. Mellowed them out but is very clear and detailed. I am wondering if any one can tell me how the 80's receivers compare to twin power 70's receivers? Are they just as warm and mellow? I have had Marantz, Sansui and...

    KG4 tweeter wire polarity

    I'm replacing the diaphragms in my tweeters and noticed the wiring looked reversed on one of them. On one, I have a white wire and one with a red stripe. The other speaker, white and one with a black stripe. Is the striped wire positive or neg? One of them had to have been wrong. And help on...

    Just got some Chorus Is - is this normal?

    Hi all! I'm new to the Korner as of a couple of weeks ago when I bought some KG4s. I was absolutely blown away by the horn sound and knew I had to have more. My first upgrade was finding a pair of Chorus Is. All drivers look intact and put out sound and the crossovers LOOK fine. The mids are...

    Realistic Goodies

    My first post... recently received the vintage bug from my friend who was looking for a system for his basement. After some research and listening.... he was transported back to the late 70s - needless to say I hitched a ride = albeit a few states away. My room as a young boy had some Altec...
