Larryg2 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hello all and thanks in advance for any help with this novice question. This is my first post here. I've got a good deal pending on either of these fine speakers. Obviously, the mint KG4s are substantially less expensive than a new pair of RF62s. I'm using a Yamaha RX496 to push whichever speakers I wind up with based on your advice. I'm certainly no audiophile and this system will not be used for home theater or surround. It's strictly for music enjoyment in my familyroom. I've heard the RF62s and like the sound. I have never heard the KG4s, but based on the overwhelming support you folks here seem to have for this older speaker, it sounds like a pair of these would certainly do the trick. Of the two, which would you recommend for better quality music enjoyment? Thanks again! Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldenough Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Can't comment on the RF-62, but I can tell you that the KG-4's will not disappoint you. Plus they will return what you give for them on re-sale. Seems an easy choice to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryg2 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 That's exactly the way I was thinking as well. Plus, the RF62s are going to run me $650 and the KG4s $200. Big difference....especially since everyone seems to feel the same positive vibes on the KG4s. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Welcome to the forum. KG4's and vintage Marantz(22** series receivers). Sweeeet sound. I did not know just how awesome the KG4's sounded until I hooked up to my just aquired Marantz 2252b. Bought Marantz last Friday and sold KG4's on Saturday. I was already committed to the sell. Total investment was less than $300.00(Marantz & KG4's). Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I'd go with the KG-4's. And check out Heresies, Fortes, Chorus, or Cornwalls if you're going to spend $650. That said, the RF-62 is a fine speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryg2 Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Just wanted to say that I picked up the beautiful, mint KG4s last evening and set them up immediatley for a test run. I'm absolutely blown away by the quality of the sound from these 25 year old speakers! These will prove to be one of the best selections and investments I've ever made. Thanks to this forum for the information and advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Good for you. How much coin did they set you back? Oak, walnut, or black? I am telling you pair them with vintage Marantz. Great full sound on the cheap. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryg2 Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 They're black and honestly not a mark or imperfection on either one.....grills & all. I bought them from a guy about a 40 minute drive away for $200 so there was no shipping. I'm really, really pleased with the cost, condition and performance and feel like I've got a $1000 sound for $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
