omar4 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Going to look at the above speakers as soon as they go and get a tuner to listen to them. Pictures look decent. What would these compare to say Heresey's or reference ii line?? And a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
001 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 ive had a couple pair of the 5.5's. very nice speaker for the price, sold my nicer ones for $400, & a lesser pair for $300 with some chips & veneer damage. in good shape 300-400 is a decent price, any less is a great deal. they compare to the KLF-10 speakers, IMO they are much better than little heresies & have way better bass output. as for reference, hard to compare, the equal woofer size is the rf-7 & that is a better speaker than the kg5.5. IMO the kg5.5 is very under rated & sounds great in stock form with decent 80-100wpc receivers, but adding crites titanium tweeters will improve their sound quite a bit since the "tweeter" on these 2 ways does much of the midrange too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 The KG 5.5 is also front ported for easy placement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar4 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Thanks for the responses. Well I already bought them-$75. Original owner, very nice shape, I use Cornwall II's daily, and have Heresey's hooked up for 2channel in the bedroom to a Yamaha CR 600. I have to get someone to help me unload them. I tucked them in with a blanket last night in the car. I have an addiction like the rest of you. Will post pics as soon as I get them in the house. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twk123 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 $75!!! Thats awesome man. I spent $450 on mine and love them. They are so efficient and clear that when I watch movies I totally forget the sound is actually coming from the speakers. As Klipschfancf4 mentioned earlier, they do like a lot of power to make those parallel 10'' woofers really open up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Congrats on the purchase. Get a thick blanket and drag them bad boys in the house, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 $75? Yea, I'd say that's a good price...! When I had mine, the single biggest improvement I made was replacing the tweeter diaphragm with the Crites titanium. Very worthwhile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
001 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 what? $75?? thats an amazing deal, even if they have some cosmetic issues. what color are they? post some pics.... also not to scare you but, these kg's can have the same cabinet problems as the KLF speakers... when you get them situated, play some bass heavy music & crank them up a bit to get the woofers moving, listen close for any rattle or vibration coming from the boxes, stick your head around back too. they can be repaired somewhat easily, but worth mentioning just incase.

[/quote Wondering about the tweeter driver on the KG 5.5, is it a three screw mount like the K79? I just wondered if it might be a screw on like the KLF10 but I don't think so A set of KLF10 with a replacement set of EV DH1506 drivers woud be amazing ,I am sure some level adjustment would be required but probably not much those are amazing drivers I ran then on my CF3 horns.
