I'm new to this site. How do I find out when my Walnut, KG4's were made? Also does anyone know any good modifications for them I checked the Updating old speakers forum, couldn't find anything. Thanks.. Da Worfster.

I've been running various Klipsch speakers for almost a year now - SB3's, KSSC-1, KG-1's and KG4's. I recently heard of Klipsch Tangents in various flavors and wonder if someone could tell me how they stack up against other floor standers and what their relative strengths and weaknesses are. Thanks.... Da worfster

Other than the specs, can anyone tell me how these stack up to say the current Klipsch line and/or the Heresy or KG4? I've never heard or heard of these before and I'm kinda curious. Da Worfster.

Thanks to everyone for the comments and suggestions. I tried the SB3's as mains first, then as rears... They were "alright" to good as rears but as I said, the were not all that great as mains. They sounded harsh and bright. Could have been lack of break-in, poor placement, wrong stand height. I don't know, but I'll say this, if those bugger's had sounded at my house like they sounded at her's they'd have had to pry them out of my cold dead fingers first to get me to part with them. Not to worry, I'm not done with Klipsch. I've bought some KG1.5's for rears and am looking for a good pair of Heresy's or upper level KG's I realize that this is an "evolutionary" process now and that one is never, ever "finished" or satisfied. Thanks all... Da Worfster.

When I first got into HT I auditioned some Klipsch at the local "high end" audio store. I fell in love with the SB3's. However I didn't want to pay through the nose so I bought some online off an ebay auction. I used them as my main for a few months, then got some free Ohm Walsh2's from a friend so I moved the SB3's back to be my rears. They sounded "alright" but no revelations. My setup is: Onkyo DS787 receiver Pioneer DV-C603 DVD Player (avoid at all costs folks) Klipsch KSC-1 Center (works great) Ohm Walsh2's as mains Klipsch SB3's in rear This was a sweet sweet set up I was way happy, but for some reason I expected more out of the SB3's when they were my mains. They sounded harsh and unforgiving with the Onkyo and couldn't for the life of me figure out why. An ex-girlfriend had lost all her speakers due to the machinations of her nieces and nephews so I offered to sell her by SB3's when I could find a suitable replacement. I bought some Ohm Walsh 4's and now use the Walsh2's as rears. I wouldn't be writing you folks now had I not had hooked up and tested the SB3's for her and had an epiphany. When I hooked those SB's to her measly 60 Watt per channel over the counter reciever MY GOD did those speakers sound marvelous. I could believe I was listening to the same speakers!!! They sang, they groaned, they thumped and all this without raising a sweat at even the hight volumes. Linda was so overwhelmed by the sound she actually started crying (no joke). My question is... Why didn't they sound that good for me?

Could someone please tell me what size speaker/s are in this cabinet. The website here doesn't say. Thanks... Da Worfster.
