Gone.

Took about 40 minutes. It would be good if someone here got them, I'd like to know if they're new (which I doubt) or what. I have a pair already but wouldn't mind a stack.

How much were they? They are no longer $50-100, that's for sure.

 

[alteclipsch]

Price was 150$

 

[alteclipsch]

They're back!

The link is taking me to some Sony video junk.

Yeah me too now.

Well, anyway, $150 seems fine on those. I sold my last set for like $350 I think. They were pretty. They do sound good, but sometimes I like to crank it, and loud hip-hop will kill those woofers pretty fast, even with those big ol' magnets.

BTW how does a KLH-4 rate in today's world ?

 

[RossW]

The 4s are an odd one. One of the first KLH speakers, they didn't sell at that many to begin with (compared to later models like the 6, 17, 23, etc.), and because they were sealed (i.e. disassembly requires a drill and/or saw) I suspect a lot of them hit the dumpster when the tweeters invariably stopped working due to bad caps. I've never heard a pair myself, but supposedly they are quite good for their vintage.

These were for sale in the Free Geek thrift store in Minneapolis. I saw the boxes when I stopped there this past Saturday to buy some old computer hardware.

Because I'm taking a break from buying/restoring speakers, I didn't open the boxes or take a look at them.

Have a set locally available for $200, really pretty condition. Good value?

IMO yes. KLH's best two way, hands down. Very similar to the Five (three way), and beautiful cabinets. I have both and it is hard to decide which to listen to. Be prepared to recap (one 4uf capacitor) and dope the woofer surrounds.

They don't come up often and are a sleeper in the line.

Thank you for your insights.

Thank you for your insights.

Twenty Threes also fly way under the radar for some reason. They get very little mention, but those who know, know.
