opusk2k9 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 If you are looking at KG 5.5, add the KLF speakers to the list. The KLF-10 are 2-way, similar to the KG 5.5, the KLF-20 and KLF-30 are 3-way. I have the KLF-30 and love them. Good luck in your search, check out the Alerts section, minermark, is doing a great job of posting CA deals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 ^^^ he failed to mention he's owned, or does own now KG 5.5s... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opusk2k9 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Yes, I have had KG 5.5 very good sounding speaker with lots of bass and very close to a KLF-10. However, I would consider the KLF-30 closer to a Cornwall (than the KG 5.5). Chorus II are also a very good choice.

Sancho Panza Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 La Scalas are plentiful in his area, lately; don't know if he has the room... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opusk2k9 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Ls Scala I think are my favorite speakers at the moment. If they are available, they are well worth the upgrade. You might need to pick up a subwoofer depending on what you are listening to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenbear123 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Thanks to everyone for the help! I am also keeping my eyes out for a pair of La Scala's but they are typically a bit out of my price range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 gb123, what is your budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenbear123 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 ~$1000 max. I'm in no hurry to buy, hoping another good deal comes across craigslist sometime this summer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 since you are in no hurry, IF you want La Scalas, they can be had for that... get minermark to look for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenbear123 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 I actually had a question about La Scala's! I tend to listen to more bass heavy music, and I've heard the La Scala's, while amazing speakers, don't deliver as well in that area. Any opinions on that? It's making me skeptical since they are definitely at the top of my price range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opusk2k9 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Cornwalls are highly regarded for their bass response. I bought my first La Scala before I got a pair of Cornwalls. I found that the midrange horn of the La Scala are very hard to give up, which is why people build cornscalas. For stock bass capable stock Klipsch speakers, I would go for any of the following: KG 5.5, Forte, Forte II, Chorus II, KLF-20, KLF-30, and Cornwalls. These were listed in increasing price in the Chicago area. The La Scala doesn't have the same bass extension as the other speakers listed, but a musical sub is easy to add.

opusk2k9 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I tend to listen to more bass heavy music Is it club music, rock music, jazz, classical, etc.? The majority of the rock is around 40-50 Hz, so the La Scala is suitable. If you listen to jazz and are wanting to hear the plucking of the bass strings you will likely need a sub. If you are going to incorporate these speakers in a HT system, you will need a sub either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenbear123 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 More club music I would say but honestly when my family is in town it's all about rock and jazz so I'll likely be adding a sub to whatever system I go with. thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0dified Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hi, I'm new on the forum here, but I've been a Klipsch fanatic since the 90s. I have a pair of black KG 5.5s, pair of KG 1.0? (I have to check the model in storage to be sure), a Klipsch center channel (forgot model but will get it as well) & Energy subwoofer for sale. I'm located in SF and am willing to work out a deal. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks. -Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbox Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Regardless of what speaker you have, you will need a sub either way. These days, if you don't have a sub, your not in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
