swandivr Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 I've got an ad for Klipsch Forte's in my local paper.I just got a call from a lady who has a pair of Klipsch's, but she does not know the model.Can anyone help identify them?The only info she could find on the back was the letters KM4,and the serial number..361594341. She related to me the following dimensions 33h x 11w x 10 1/2d.She was doing the measuring with a tape measure, so I am assuming she was accurate.Shw said she thought her ex had purchased them in 96 or 97.I know they are not the forte's I am looking for,but the price she quoted me sounds good,and comes with a subwoofer.(all Klipsch)..Any help w/ identification would be great!

Ray Garrison Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Whoa... It MIGHT be a great deal! Which subwoofer? ------------------ Music is art Audio is engineering Ray's Music System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swandivr Posted June 11, 2002 Author Share Posted June 11, 2002 She did not say which model it was.I'll leave a message on her machine to have a look at the back of the sub,and see if she can give me a model.If it is a good sub,it might be a decnt deal,but would have to sell off the KM 4s.I don't think I would be satisfied with the speakers,as they would not compare to Forte's, imo.

boa12 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 with a good, capable sub &, like w/ most a receiver w/ a fixed crossover around 80hz, those look like a fine buy for that price or lower if in real good condition. ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swandivr Posted June 11, 2002 Author Share Posted June 11, 2002 Found out that the subwoofer is the SWV.If I am correct this a basic "entry level" component,still it probably would be worth $125-150 for the system???With an 8in woofer,would I be able to use this with a pair of forte's?

DLUngurait Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 You should definately inspect these speakers before you make a deal. The "M" in the KM-4 designation stands for military. There is a good chance these speakers were bought overseas on a military base and therfore have been shipped at least once. I believe these speakers are the same as KG-3.5. If these speakers are in perfect shape...it is a fair deal...if they are a bit beaten up...I'd pass. Good Luck Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swandivr Posted June 12, 2002 Author Share Posted June 12, 2002 I purchased them today.They were bought locally by this woman and her ex in Aug '96.They appear to be in excellent condition and had been used very little.Paid $125.The sub is a SWV,and of course is only an 8in powered,but it will suffice for now.All I have to do is figure out how to hook up the sub,I've never had one before...but will figure it out. Thanks for the help and advice guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
