    Klipsch kg 4.5 replacement

    I'm considering replacing my Klipsch kg 4.5's with some else. I would like to stay in the same price range. Something that is more well rounded. These kg4.5's just have muddy low end. Everything else about them is great. Ideas? Maybe a three way instead of a two way speaker.
