marknicholson Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hi, I have had my KG4's since the mid eighties and they sound just like the day I bought them. However, as me and my wife I pass thru our sixties, we need some additional room in our main living area. (the KGs simply sound better well away from the wall so that's how we have them situated). We had previously used a Velodyne DSL 3500 8" sub which sounded pretty good, however I recently replaced that with a R112SW which sounds a lot better than really good. 99.9% of our listening is surround sound movie entertainment. My system generally consists of: 75" Qled Samsung TV (about a year old) Yamaha TSR 7850 Receiver (about a year old) I think 110WPC in a 5.1 configuration Klipsch KG4 Floor Standing Fronts - Legacy Loudspeakers (purchased in 1985) they are fantastic. Klipsch Older 8" In Wall Rears which are not the copper style cones, (about six years old) Klipsch R112SW Sub (one week old) Klipsch SC5 Center (about six years old) Originally, I was considering the RP8000F's & R-820F's but they are absolutely too huge. I looked at the Klipsch InWall units, but prefer an uncertain of the sound quality and prefer the flexibility of floor standing or even bookshelf (on stands) units I am now considering the RP-4000F, but I am concerned about the tiny 4" drivers considering the KG4;s use older 8" poly type speakers. The RP400F efficiency is slightly better than my KG4's and it appears the frequency curve is a bit flatter in the mid bass area. The KG4's were a little too chesty sounding in mid bass, and slightly brassy in the mid highs at times. Anyway, please let me know about the rp4000F's or maybe a bookshelf solution with stands?

Frzninvt Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Why not find a nice used pair of Quartet's or Forte's as they are the next step up from the KG-4. Reference line will have a totally different sound than what you are used to. Seeing as you are already using a mis-mash system I suppose updating to a matching reference line trio in the front would be an improvement.

xo705cf Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Check out the rp600m’s, They are getting outstanding reviews no matter where you look and they are not oversized, However you may need to put them on stands 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
