Thanks, Coytee. I appreciate your comments.

I was a late 1970's and early '80's nightclub d.j. and erstwhile audiophile. In those days, I had componentry ranging from Kenwood to Phase Linear and from Pioneer to Ditton (and Klipsch). I'm looking now for a sound step (pardon the pun) back into good musical equipment. I am contemplating whether to keep a pair of KG4s that I purchased new in the early '80s. They have been unused for at least ten years and have been packed in a closet or our garage. Overall, their cabinetry / exterior is in good condition, except they are missing the bases that originally came on them.I have no idea what condition the internal part are in. Can anyone answer the following questions for me? Is there a qualified / Klipsch-approved service center around Gallatin / Hendersonville, TN (37072) that can assess the speakers and tell me what it would take to bring them up to proper condition / performance?Would it be worth it to spend the diagnosis / repair money on these speakers or should I sell them (I gather that the going price is between $100 and $300 / pair) and buy something new. I remember how these speakers blew me away with their sound so, in a way, I hate to part with them. I also have a vintage 1979-era B&O Beomaster 2400 that can be repaired to new condition for $600 - $700. I'm wondering the same about it. Is this receiver a good match for the KG4s if I get both of them tuned-up? I wonder if the Beomaster is worth keeping (again, nostalgia and sentimentality are strong here) or should I move on?
