Don A Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Hell everyone, I just recently purchased my first pair of passive speakers, the Klipsch KG4. I opened them up, and the crossovers are different. Can anyone help me identify what's going on? Looks like maybe some are the originals and the others were replaced. Thank you.

billybob Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Think the x-over on the bottom is original but how do they sound? Welcome @Don A tagging @Deang for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my untrained ears, they sound great. I don't notice a different between the two, but again, I don't have a lot of experience with quality speakers. I opened them up just out of curiosity to see what had been updated and what was original. They do have the titanium diaphragm upgrades, but I don't know enough about crossovers to know what I'm looking at when it comes to those. Getting these has definitely ignited something in me, and I think I've stepped foot on the slippery slope of audio equipment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Yes, liked mine alot. Yes, lots to choose from, even in just the KG models. The guy I tagged may say more but... cool. Enjoy @Don A! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Crossovers Welcome to the forum and the land of Klipsch! The KG-4's are a great gateway speaker very nice for what they are but it can get quite a bit better the further up the chain you go. The crossovers to me both look stock if I had to guess I'd say the one with the board is a newer version either the pair aren't matched serial number wise or this was a transition pair where they used the last one of the previous type and started using the new type. I wouldn't worry about them if they sound good to you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I was going to ask about the serial numbers - how far apart are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Had a round cup and a square one. Round think marked 4 ohm, square 8. Both walnut. Brought this up back then. Cannot recall now the reasoning. Good sounding with decent amount of bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don A Posted April 1, 2023 Author Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) Thank you all for your input. Tags are gone on the back, is there any other way to find out serial number? I don't see it stamped anywhere. Also, does anyone have any guidance on where to go next? Such a crazy amount of information out there - Heresy 1-4, Forte 1-2, Quintet, Chorus, other KGs - my mind is spinning.

Yes, it can be a very slippery slope. Take a few deep breaths and don't look for other models for a while. Just stash some money aside every couple of weeks until a deal comes up and you'll be ready for it. Depending on where you live, there may be some Klipsch heads near you who could then let you hear other models. It's a very deep hole... Did you follow a white rabbit by chance? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
