KG4's my friend ... the year is stamped at the bottom of the binding posts...

Corn Wall Loud Speaker ???

Im sure it'll be around after the summer ... **UPDATE** 07/06/12 I've sanded with some 220 grit and put a nice coat of Tung Oil ... WOW what a difference!!! The water mark is gone! 07/06/13 I've sanded lightly with some 320 grit ...smoothed it out more ... and put a second coat of Tung oil ... looking good! Another coat is scheduled tomorrow before work ... no sanding this time ... and maybe another Friday if i have oil left The grills are still a little stained ... im wondering what i can use to clean em besides water and a bit of soap ...? AND ... the Badges came in the mail yesterday (one day shipping) ...and they match EXACTLY!!! So im guessing Krazy Glue would work? ***Photos will be up soon ... the wife lent me the digicam but the battery is spent ,,, and she kept that darn charger ***

:EDIT: Problema solved ... Micron Canada called me today and said they found the badges i needed tucked away in some corner My Lucky day ... we traded info on the phone and they should be here tuesday or wednesday...

They truly are "Rock and Roll" speakers... I think i almost had a religious experience today ... listened to a "new" song today (if i aint heard it...its new to me) "The Pusher" by Steppenwolf WOW..... 'nuff said!

Receieved an email from LaToya Torrance (Klipsch), she says that they sell for 3.42 US --> 3.63 CAD (Not bad... our dollar is at a 30 year high ) She says THEY have to ship it to Micron Canada (about 10 days) ... and then i arrange payment with Micron and MORE shipping to my house ... :S Im glad im not rushed I musn't be the only Canuck who orders directly from Klipsch, so if this is the way it goes... i guess we hafta go by it dont we? :S --> Buck: Thanks for the offer, but id really hate for you to go through all that for me ... ill do it the "regular" way ...

So, apparently living in the Great White North is a problem with Klipsch in Arkansas. Youse guys do not ship to Canada. :S BOOOOOOOOOoooooo JK I was told i have to deal with the Canadian reseller ... http://www.microncanada.ca/ ... I just emailed them earlier, i await a response because i was all about ready to buy the parts directly from Klipsch. They came to less than 3$ each ... i hope the reseller doesnt jack up the price and triple the shipping ... :S *crosses fingers* But ... the KG's sound GREAT! I was listening to some old school Elton John last night before sleep (SACD quality) , and at low volume it sounded awesome! I cant wait to put on something with alotta bass, crank those puppies up and hear those 12'' passives come alive! Thanks for all your advice y'all! Pat P.S. Project: "Speaker Restore" begins next tuesday with light sanding

Yeah but.... i dont think he'll be selling it anytime soon ... so maybe in a few months ill take him up on the offer. SOooooooooo.... purchase MADE!!! Cabinets were a little more knocked up than advertised so he knocked some off the price ... good deal all in all i guess.... my first time dealing with cragslist and second hand buying has been positive... Pro's : Price seemed reasonnable (to me ... vintage Klipsch isnt too available in these parts :S) I bought new (old) Klipsch Kg's are nice and hefty ... vintage is awesome! The cabinets look almost salvageable and cones and passive woofers are undamaged They sound sweeeeeeet Con's: Cabinets are more damaged than i originally thought They dont have the serial number "paper" on the back anymore ... totally ripped off ... only the staples survived They're the 1984 model ... 4 Ohm impendance Vs. 6 Ohm *** One of the front grills LACKS the copper Klipsch logo*** I know its stupid but this one is the most dissapointing :( Can anyone help me on how to get new ones ? Lesson learned: Well...maybe its a lesson i WILL learn ... ima gonna learn how to sand and refinish these speakers!!! I want these Babies to look good! But first i need to know how.... Any gurus out there with links to any DIY sites with some info? Thanks in advance and i appreciate all your comments! Pat P.S. I already got the wife frowning at me with this new hobby Ill have pics up as soon as i can borrow her digicam ...

Just spoke to seller a few minutes ago, he's a teacher at a local highschool i often deal with and seemed quite genuine. So far things look good! We spoke for a bit, he even offered to sell me a HK tube amp to go with it for an extra 150$ :S Sadly its out of my budget right now ... He's delivering tomorrow evening straight to my door ... ill keep you guys posted and take some pics of the damage (watermark) as to maybe you guys can help me out on how i could fix it ...

Email sent *crosses fingers* ... Hope it works out ... hope they arent sold already .... Thanks for the advice y'all

I call DIBS on this one ... What to y'all think ... this person lives about 10 minutes from my house ... a good buy? http://montreal.craigslist.org/ele/345095586.html would these 6 Ohm speakers run well with this 8 Ohm Amp i have ? http://www.harmankardon.com/specifications.aspx?cat=REC&ser=∏=HK490I&sType=H Any details or insight/advice would be nice .... Pat P.S. Please dont anyone snipe em away from me.... They look real nice.....im planning on emailing the guy tomorrow....

I wasnt aware it was Peace Officer day in the US of A ... in Canada we celebrate it the last Sunday in September ... I still consider myself new in this profession (3 years in August)but i love it more and more every day! It's an awesome job, I do it because i love it and i have plenty more years ahead of me ... Thanks for the kind nod y'all ... it's nice to hear good things about us for once RIP to all my Brothers and Sisters who've passed while on or off duty ... RIP Valerie Gignac and Daniel Tessier ...

Wow..... i was pretty much decided on the Marantz 8001 because getting seperates was WAY outta my budget..... but reading this makes me want to wait a little while more to see what the new Marantz 8xxx series has to offer....

WOW for the Anthem Audio tho.....their stuff looks nice ... and they have a dealer near my house in MTL.....thanks a bunch!!!
