I just got a pair of kg4 on trade. One woofer is dead, it had a paper gasket around the front face while the other in the same cabinet as well as the opposite cabinet have a plastic ring. Also this cabinet has a different looking crossover, looks like an auto transformer or something and seems to have an extra capacitor. This cabinet also has grey egg carton foam for insulation and the other has a yellowish batting. The serial number stickers on the back are gone. I'm guessing I have a Frankenstein pair? They supposedly have the crites upgraded tweeter diaphrams but I'm not sure how to tell for sure.

Im thinking of using these for home theater as well. Are their any particular klipsch center channels that would work well with these, something in the kg line or even a kg bookshelf speaker on its side? Thanks

Thanks, I am really liking them. Sounds like there are some modifications that may improve the sound even more. Besides the Crites diaphragms what else do people usually do?

I decided to sand them down a bit, apply some walnut stain and tung oil since they grain was raised on them from apparently being kept outside in a garage or barn. They are coming along nicely and I will post some pics soon. I couldn't believe my luck!

Thanks for the tips! What else can be done in addition to the Crites diaphragms? I tried to search for kg 5.2 but didn't get any results.

I just picked up a pair of walnut kg 5.2 speakers for $30.00 and after listening to them feel like I just won the lotto. My other speakers are paradigm 9se mk iii, ads l1290 2, infinity crescendo 3006, jbl century l100, and b&w ddm 220. I'm really enjoying the clarity detail and imaging. They just might be my new favorites. I need to do some more side by side comparisons to confirm.
