willland Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I posted this in another section. Any opinions on 2 channel sound quality of the KG4's? I am about to go look at a pair for sale for $150.00. Good price or bad price? Any response appreciated. Thanks, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Anything under $200 is a good price assuming they are in good condition. I paid $195 for a pair for my son's 2-channel system and they sound great. They ain't Cornwalls but for $150, they're hard to beat. Good luck.

Dale A B Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Just make sure all four "poly" 8" woofers are working, as those seem to be the driver that poops out first. I found a dead driver in my pair and it was not very easy to tell that it was inoperative. You can usually find a single replacement on ebay if needed for about $25 each, if you are a good shopper and patient. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Great rock and roll speakers ... and sound really great with old vintage amps (HK 430's come to mind). Have that setup in my daughter's room and it rocks ... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hifi jim Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Great rock and roll speakers ... and sound really great with old vintage amps (HK 430's come to mind). I love mine and at that price it's a deal. [Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Even though I've never heard a pair if I found KG4s in decent condition for $150 I'd buy them in a heartbeat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Thanks alot for all the comments. I am on a mini vacation and they are still sitting in the trunk of our car. When I do get them home I am not sure if I will hook them up to to my Adcom/B&K setup or hook them up to my Onkyo's zone 2. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Finally got home and thoroughly dusted off the KG4's and cleaned the finish with some Formby's Lemon oil cleaner. Wow, what a difference. Brought that walnut oil finish right back to life. Then I hooked them up to my Onkyo and B&K amp and switched the setting to direct without the sub and put on a cd of classical guitar called "Celtic Moods" by Brad Prevedoros. Wow again. Plenty of bass and really precise acoustic guitar sound. I use this cd as a reference for all new configurations. I really believe I scored a great pair of speakers for $150.00. No cracks or dents on woofers or surrounds. Only minor knicks(tiny splintering)on the edges that I took care of with a furniture touch up marker. I'll post pictures soon.

bigdaddy Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I sold a set that looked horrible but sounded excellent for $100.00. And when I say horrible I mean they had been dark stained Oak someone painted black and then tried to strip it back off and did a really bad job of it left a lot of paint in the grain and hard to get areas several chips and dings but the sound was fantastic. They don't get super loud but very nice sounding. I'd say good score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
