SILVERSPIKE Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Alright, here we go. I am relocating from Silver City, NM to Tampa, Fl and I have a pair of KG 5.5's for sale. I prefer local p/u. The speakers are Lt. oak and in good condition (pictures available on request). I am asking $500 firm; it should be noted that the speakers have Bob Crites crossover networks and titanium tweets, and have never been abused musically, so the cabinets have no issues with glue and separation. Talk to me. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-man Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Curious, What was your experience with those upgrades? Did you do them all at once, or individually? How did they change the experience to your listening?? I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 in my experience...Crites crossover upgrades get you back in spec with higher quality parts than what came when new...as for the Titanium tweeter mods...every Klipsch speaker I have tried them in have benefited from a cleaner sounding higher end...I have tried them in Quartets, Chorus II, kg2s, kg4s, KG 4.5s and KG 5.5s...nice upgrade for the money...

SILVERSPIKE Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 The Crites upgrades are a worthwhile investment, especially the tweeters. For $60 shipped, u get a set of easily installed titanium domes that will give u a noticeable upgrade in the high end...sparkling horns and vocals, sharp and clear, highly recommended! The networks are a little more work and can be done in about 90 min with patience. The difference in the size of the boards and components is impressive, although the change in sound is not as noticeable as the tweeter upgrade. There is a definite improvement in the bass dynamic, the low end frequency has more impact and overall, a deeper bass. The networks are $225 + shipping. The networks include a board(with velcro tabs) that is best mounted in the bottom of the speaker cabinet and will upgrade your wiring from 18ga to 16 ga. For my speakers, u are basically getting $275 worth of upgrades and a set of speakers for $225. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipByrd Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hey Frank, Welcome to the Forum. It's probably best to make offers through a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SILVERSPIKE Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Unfortunately, the speakers are long gone, via local purchase here in Florida...somebody with 4 KG 5.5's wanted 2 more [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMiRA Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Yes he did, and he's enjoying every minute of them. Even with the blowout coming to get them they were a great investment. Thanks for the great speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
