One gets right to the point and the other is pointless.

When in doubt, walk on.

I didn't quite understand your email address, so, I sent you an email through your Klipsch Forum Profile page.
Let me know if you don't get the email.

Thanks, $35 is really not too bad.
I don't know where you are located, but, if you are in the Seattle area I have a good KG4 woofer I will let you have for $25.00
Oh, welcome to the forum.

The GE and the Pyrimid wire is Chinese. Not sure about the RCA.Number 14 stranded wire can be made of 41 strands of #30 wire or 168 strands of #36 wire. The wire with a larger strand count will be more flexible, will exhibit less skin effect, and could create an optical illusion of larger size.
Or maybe it's cheap Chinese stuff. If so, get your wire from Parts Express or Monoprice.

Recently I have purchased three different brands of 14 gauge speaker wire and all three seem to be different sizes.
Not just the outside diameter, but, the thickness of the combined strands of wire themselves.
The three brands are RCA, GE and Pyramid. The RCA is the largest in strands and diameter, then the Pyramid, and GE is the smallest.
Is there different ways of measuring the gauge of wire or is this just terrible quality control.

Todd, thank you for commenting. You are so right about life being a short dance and to drink in as much as you can with what time we have.
I feel your comments are very honest and make more sense than many others I have experienced in reviews and such.
It is refreshing to read remarks such as yours.
Thank you for your input and all I can say about these speakers is that they, to my ears, are very correct in their reproduction of the music.

I picked up a pair of these yesterday for a pretty good price and must admit, they sound pretty darn good.
They tend to do a lot of things right.
I am very impressed, even though I have been a Klipsch Heritage fan, I could live with these babies.
Any forum members have similar or different experiences with these?

Brought them home today.
Seller had got them from his boss 3 years ago and never used them, didn't know what they were outside of "klipsch" and that they were big.
I was really surprised after seeing those couple photos how clean they are. Walnut is in very nice shape, not all dried out, very minimal scratches or knicks, grills are really clean.
SN# 29W509 & 29W510
Looks like they were built early 1981 based on the info from Bob Crites site.
Now to make room and get them hooked up.
Congratulations and welcome to the club!
I'm sure you will enjoy them.
Price vs performance, I don't think you can do much better.

Excuse me.
I forgot my manners.
Welcome to the forum.
It's a great place to be.

Those are definately Cornwalls.
Make sure all the drivers work.
From the pic. the woofers look right to me.
Don't know the vintage.
Get them for a good price, take them home and enjoy them.
Merry Christmas!

Glad to hear that they're not too horny for you.
Having a pair of horny speakers shouting at you can cause issues.
I"ve always liked the Heresy in a small to medium sized room.

Yeah, I sold it to my girlfriend and she wouldn't accept it for free.
She got a sister?

Probably about 10 or 15 pounds more weight ;-)
That sounds about right.

Weight and authority?
I think I have been reading too many audio magazines.
Tom
-
So, how does it sound compared to the 430?
It's been awhile since I had a 430. I believe the sound of this 930 seems to be very similar but with a little more authority and weight.
Then again, it might just be me thinking it has more weight and authority with complex passages.
All I know for sure is I like what I hear.

Dennie
No camera at the moment.
I can tell you that it is not a museum piece, but is presentable and seems to work fine.

I just picked up a 930 and have been running it now for about 3 hours and am happy to say, Yeah Baby! This thing sounds great.
I have owned a couple of 430's in the past and have been happy with them but always pined after a 930.
I might hang onto this one.

Just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to all on the Forum and to let you know I am thankful for all I have, material and immaterial.
Life is good!

Congratulations.
Someday I shall have mine.
It is wonderful stories like yours that get the fever going again and again.
Oh yes, they shall be mine!

I broke it already.
Well, you're no fun!
Sorry to hear about your misfortune.

Sounds like either one would be a fit, but If you go for the 103 spend the $200 from Comet for the 103R, just $20 more than the 301. Unless you are in a hurry wait awhile so I can get more playing time and get this cart past the break-in period. I'll be able to give a more honest opinion when then. Since I seldom get much chance during the week for critical listening, it should probably be two to three more weeks until I can give a full report.
Never heard the Ortofon Moving Coil, I have the Ortofon OM30 and 40 mm's, like them a lot, but the Zu Denon was for sure a step up to better sound.
Thebes, are you ready to give a review and or opinion on the 301 vs 103R?
Also, just your general opinion of the 301 with a few different genres of music referenced such as, acoustical,blues, jazz and of course, classic rock.
I will probably pull the trigger on one or the other in the next couple of weeks and am just curious about your experience so far.

New Pair of Kg4s...Need an amp/receiver to match
in 2-Channel Home Audio
Posted
I have found that the KG4's sound very good matched with a Harman Kardon HK430.
You can usually find one in good condition for $100.00 or less.
An HK730 or 930 would work well also.
