I am currently using a Kenwood KA5700 Integrated Amplifier to power all 4 of my speakers (a pair of KG4's and Forte II's). Has worked fine for a few years but the bulb just went out. So might replace the unit all-together. Question 1: Is that amp sufficient or is it under-powering my speakers? Question 2: Is there a modern amp anyone can recommend that is strong enough to power all 4 speakers? Thanks!

Came across a pair of Klipsch KG 4.2 being sold by a reputable guy. Dark oil finish. Wood in excellent condition. Lots of pics verifying condition, original tags. What would you consider to be a fair offer for them? My current setup is some Forte II's in amazing condition and some beat up, but good sounding KG 4's. Running them with a Kenwood KA-5700 integrated amp.

$100 for Klipsch Forte II's ??

These are still going strong. KG4's are a bit beat up (got for $125), but the Forte II's I scored for $100 are flawless. What would be a good price to pay for some KG4's to replace these and is the Crites upgrade an easy DIY project (for me, the inexperienced)? -

I'm new to vintage audio. I just googled them for about 20 seconds and took the chance on making an offer. Figured i couldn't lose, then I wrote in the forum hoping i was scoring. -

Well, seeing as he had a “come and take it” sticker on the back window of his F150 truck, I avoided brandishing a firearm. This is Texas ya know! 😂 -

The story is that he bought them when he was in the Navy over in japan. Had them shipped back and he’s downsizing to a smaller home. 🙌🏼 -

Well, they’re as solid as can be and sound fantastic. I’m running them with a Kenwood KA5700. I’m a happy man. -

Thank you! I'll post a pic when I get them...if the guy follows through....hoping for the best. -
Meeting a guy in an hour and a half to buy the Forte II's for $100? I just got a pair of beat up (exterior) KG4's and they sound great. How are the Forte II's in comparison and is this a good deal? What should I look for when I meet him? Only one pic provided but the pair looks from the pic.

Klipsch KG4 paired with Kenwood KA-5700?

Is there a particular budget EL34 amp you'd recommend? Mostly punching some 70's 80's hard rock through the KG4's. -

I might purchase the Kenwood KA-5700 myself...asking price is $150? Thoughts on that price and how it will go with Klipsch KG4's? -
Thoughts on this pairing? Is it a decent pairing with the KG4's? I can buy the Kg4's for around $100 as they are a little beat up on the outside, missing badges and will need refinishing. One of the woofers may need repair and/or eventual replacement. The Kenwood KA-5700 is going for $150. Seems to be in good working order. I only have more modern equipment and not sure what I'm getting myself into. Any and all thoughts would be appreciated.
