Gamma Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Hi ‘ m a newbie… I have opportunity to buy a pair of Kp 301 original made in 1988. They have new caps and everything else is supposed to work fine. I can use advice from this great group on the following: Does $850 seem like a good price? Would a Denon avr with 125w per channel power this well? (X4500H) Finally if I converted the back panel to a 5 way post and wired for bi amp, would like reduce the resale value? Attaching a picture. I have not listened, but would be buying from a guy that says the sounds good, and he currently also owns la scalas. Says they have been recapped, and sound great Thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chassell Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 $850 is an excellent price for KP-301s. They're very efficient; for a while I was running mine with a 30W Marantz, though they do really shine with more wattage. 125W is plenty. I can't imagine that converting the back would hurt value.

The 301 are ready to be bi-amped. There is a jumper wire inside that needs to be cut or removed. No need to fabricate anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
