    I have a pair of the original CF2's ... I have a pair of Quartets , KG4's and. AR3 A's Boston A100's and the l8st go's on. Powered by a factory spec Marantz2270 and Adcom GFA 545 ? drawing a blank. The CF2's are my favorite . they just sound right ! The Quartets and AR3 a's are not far behind. . all are recaped and original components . I listen to jazz , some jazz funk , a little classical and some classic rock . The CF2 is the easy winner and the AR3's are a close second . All outstanding speakers ..but my ears desire the CF2 ... several huests that are also home audio fans have taged the CF2 as having an edge . If i had to sell them all and keep the pair that gave me the most listening pleasure .The Klipsch CF2 would be the keeper.

    My wife bought these for me for my birthday in 1994. Since then we've moved three time and during the last move one of them was dropped on a tile floor. I had no way to test it as all of the other components were already packed. By the time I set them up again, no one could tell which one was dropped, not even me. Luckily it was dropped flat on its back so there is no cosmetic dammage as well. I drive them with a 2-channel Rotel integrated amp that pushes only 65 watts/channel and they sound great. They can still rattle the walls. Dynamic range, soundstage, and coloration are all excellent.

    Finest example of 2-way audio engineering!  802-8G ALNICO Tangerine on 32B 90° bent horn.

    Dispersion widens as frequency goes up!  110° at 16 kHz, original WE monitor horn design!

    ALTEC VOTT A8, 9849 Studio Monitor, 1221 Stage Monitor all use this amazing bent horn.

    12" woofer is a cast-basket foam surround 414 variant with lower system resonance,

    refoamed in 2015 at Midwest Speaker Repair in Roseville, MN.

    Hello iaRIVR  - greetings from across the river in Edina!  I've been enjoying 4 stacked KG4's for years! 

    Difficult 2Ω load, I use ADCOM.  Stacking widens horizontal, narrows vertical. Mutual damping, +3dB

    stacking gain, lower distortion, less gain compression. Amazing, 4X the performance for 2X the price.

    Let me know when you would like to recalibrate your ears!  I would attach photos, but the server chokes.
