DavidJB Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 Fantastic. Great price for the set of diaphragms too. Better than I expected and I've heard nothing but raves about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glens Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 The "clips" (spade connectors) may have a small central detaining protrusion that sticks into the hole in the connector half on the driver. You can use a large paperclip or small screwdriver to depress it to allow the connection to be unmade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those KG 2's will wet your appetite for other Klipsch models. I'm a big fan of those HK receivers. Have enjoyed a 730 for almost 10 years. Your 930 will do very well with those KG 2's. Excellent units! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJB Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 Well, I got the KG2s. The guy threw in some stands which put the tweeters at ear level while I'm sitting. I played around with the distance from the rear wall, and though I like the tone of the bass, it just wasn't quite deep enough. So, I put them on the floor. I used some hardwood shelves and squares of rubber to create a tilt similar to the risers on a pair of Heresies. Played around with the distance from the rear wall again. Now, they're making my ears happy. Sound tested them with Led Zeppelin III, Billie Holiday, a local hard rock band, and now some John Lee Hooker. $75 well spent for my first Klipsch experience.

HiFi Heaven Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Beware using 8Ω diaphragms on 4Ω Klipsch KG2's! The crossover moves up an octave, and the output level will be down 3dB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverSport Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 remember too that it has been widely reported here that Klipsch listed many of their speakers at one time to be 4 ohm and others that they were 8 ohm without any changes made to the speaker... I have been running Bob Crites titanium tweeter mods in my kg2s for years without incident...also I have run them on many receivers, amps and integrated without issue to any of the equipment... good luck with yours, the first speaker made for the bookshelf (despite being rather large for bookshelf speakers IMO) and a collaboration between and PWK and Gary Gillum and the derivation of the kg name...I've always called them kay gee two but I understand the original name was to be kay gee squared...I've bought mine new in 1989...enjoy yours Bill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
