Duchampagne Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Looking to buy a pair of Heresy, Forte, Quartet, KG4, KG 3.2 or similar. Pickup within 100 miles of Los Angeles. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm sure someone on here can help hook you up. That's a pretty good spread from KG3.2 to Forte. Have you had any of them before? What are they going to be used for: 2 channel / HT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 There's a few pairs on the LA craigslist….KGs I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchampagne Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 I have never owned Klipsch, but am excited to get into the game! I have a Fisher 400 tube amp so will be using these for 2 channel music but also watching movies. I am looking on Craigslist but wanted to try the Klipsch forum additionally for perhaps find something someone had been thinking of selling but hadn't the inspiration to do so yet... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Stay on top of the LA CL, and i mean daily. Expand area search, they ARE there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I started with Heresy and haven't stopped trying them all. What is the size of your listening area? Do you have corners? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Morbius Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Those Klipsch you mentioned would marry up very well with your Fisher 400 tube amp. Nice indeed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tagger Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Grab the Forte II's if they're in your budget! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twk123 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Depending on what you use them for KG 5.5s are some of the best speakers you can get for under $500. What type of music do you usually listen to? I found the KG 5.5 to be better for hip hop and electronic music with heavy bass while the fortes and Heresy's are more balanced for jazz, classical etc. Here are some KG 5.5's for $300 that look good too: https://palmsprings.craigslist.org/ele/5370679903.html Bob Crites has new titanium tweeter diaphragms for $55 and they take about 15 min to install and are a significant upgrade. http://www.critesspeakers.com/klipsch_tweeters.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tagger Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I've owned both (KG 5.5 and Forte II), and the Forte II's just seem to work with everything. The midrange presentation is outstanding -- between the two there's no comparison. And the Forte's bass response is significant, with the 12's and rear passive 15's. You will not regret springing for the Forte II's! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) How about a nice pair of KLF20's. https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/ele/5400110499.html Edited January 15, 2016 by shiva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedcrankcammer Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 How about a nice pair of KLF20's. https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/ele/5400110499.html Stick with the forte'II's! You will have to brace the box with the KLFs and still wont have the voicing of the Forte'II in my opinion Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) I was going to link the Forte's. They were all over his desired price. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/search/sss?query=klipsch+forte&sort=rel Edited January 15, 2016 by shiva 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hello...OP, where'd you go? Why didn't you get the $200 KG4? That's a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchampagne Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Thanks for all of your feedback! My room is actually quite large as it is a loft. 10'w x 20' deep. Sofa is 10' from the speakers. Ceiling is 18' high. Another factor is I have to limit the speakers to a maximum height of 26". So that narrows it down to Heresy, KG4, or KG 3.2. My last option would be to explore newer Klipsch bookshelf speakers and pair with a used powered subwoofer. Does anyone have any experience with new Klipsch speakers? Are they any good? SB-2 or RB-61 are both available in the $200 range. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossman Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I prefer 2 channel listening as opposed to 2.1 . I have heard some of the new Klipsch bookshelf speakers. The RB-61's sound good. The SB-2 not nearly as good in my opinion. Either pair would require a subwoofer if you want any real bass in your music. You can easily get away without having to use a subwoofer with either the KG4's, KG3's or KG3.2's. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 18' high ceiling?? WOW. How do you keep echoes out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossman Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Just sold a pair of KG4's with new capacitors that I installed about 3 months to ago Duchampagne. A good choice for the tube amp he will be using. Duchampagne, please keep us updated as to how you like them and how well they pair with the Fisher 400 Tube amp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
