Ironsave Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 KG 2s $100. Walnut. Could not resist. Solid 8 when purchased; already closer to 9...... (Dustcaps and a few water or oil stains that sanded out well). Now to oil them and get them in the bedroom...... Woo Hoo!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironsave Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 One More. Yes, those are the spots that were sanded. I also note slight grill discoloration at the top of one. I think a good bath in soapy water is in order........ These will look great in a week. Trust me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted August 17, 2011 Moderators Share Posted August 17, 2011 I had only heard a pair like that once, they were really nice and were smaller than expected, good deal. What's worse addict or hoarder ? Don't matter I'm not getting rid of any and I don't blame you a bit for adding to your collection. [H] And I can stop anytime, really.

Dennie Dennie, I just became acquainted with my new friend Bill W. about 3 weeks ago. Great people at his local hangout...... As I said; things are going very well! Thanks for the kind welcome!

CECAA850 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I seem to be on a little bit of a roll with speaker buys lately. If you're a KG guy, there are some KG4's locally that are supposed to be mint (haven't seen them yet). She wanted to start negotiation for the pair at $100.00.

Ironsave Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 That's a really good starting point! I got these for $100; but that is a fair price IMHO (Not a kick arse "thrift store" bargain however). They worked; and I knew what I was getting; so..... No worries from my end!

chisoxpurdue Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 KGs and the like speakers could be the end of a KlipschFan. I say that because decent deals on them seem to come up often enough. That if like how I originally bought speakers,could end someone due to the money spent. Any decent deal at good klipsh speakers I jump at. The little KGs seem to be the little guys that can, and the larger ones seem like a poor man's Heritage (that's a compliment). The two ways sound great, especially the ones with Tratix Horns. They could be trouble if you want to slowly work your way up to La Scalas and Khorns though. I could have spent in the thousands on well priced KGs. I finally said no more. Well by no more I meant sell to friends and family at cost. But I really appreciate the KG (and Tangent) lines of speakers. The decent prices have let me convert many people to KlipschFans. And they are a great bang for the buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muel Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hi Matthew! Sorry, I don't think you will find any 12 step program here. Unless it is 12 steps to your car so you can head for your next pair of Klipsch! I knew I was hooked when I was checking google maps for how many thousands of miles it would be to drive for a certain pair. I factor in how much I would pay for gas, sigh, and then go back to looking closer to home. Luckily, I haven't had to drive over a couple of hours yet!

Ironsave Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Chisox, I agree, these are excellent bang for buck. I have owned: KG 1.2s; 1.5s; 3 sets of 2s (2 pair in oak; these being Walnut, one of the two oak pair are in extended family), 2 pairs of 2.5s (both light oak); one pair of 3s that are extended family and one pair of 5.2s..... I have not spent thousands but definitely close to a thousand....... (Have at least broke even overall, but may have made some money; including the Christmas gift of the KG 2s to my Faatherinlaw)..... This particular pair is walnut; which is rare (to me); I have not seen a pair of KG2s come up in walnut before. High on the WAF factor, because she likes Walnut; and it's my favorite also. Again; these are for the bedroom...... I would almost prefer 2.5s; but these were a great price; nice overall shape; and fit the bill.... Listening to FM again tonight; these sound FANTASTIC. I am very pleased...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(from here to the car). [Y] My longest drive was about 2.5 each way; to middle Indiana, where I got my KV 4 for $165....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have considered flying to another country to check out the speakers buy them and then personally manage their journey back to my home. I'm not addicted at all!
