New Klipsch or keep the old Klipsch

Gentleman Jack,

 

I can't speak to how the RP-8000F sounds, but you could contact Bob Crites (www.critesspeakers.com) to help refresh and improve your KG 4.5 for just a little money.   I have 22 year old KG 5.5 speakers that I worked over and am super pleased with the results.  I replaced the phenolic resin drivers in the horns with titanium units.  It's an easy swap, that takes just a screwdriver and a little finesse.  It really sharpens the highs and overall sound.  You could also have him rebuild the crossover networks in the speakers or better still do what I did and have him build you all new ones.  It doesn't take much to replace those, too.   Since your speakers are 25 years old, the capacitors in the crossovers are probably on the downslope of their lives.  It's probably time to replace them.   In any case, good luck.  Post a pic of your KG's if you get a chance.
