punch1 Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Well, I finally picked them up and have about 20 hours or HT & music on them already. They sound awesome! These are the same Klipsch speakers that I remember from back in 1987 or so when I had the same pair. I can't believe the sound that can come from a smaller 2-way speaker! They are a keeper indeed. I didn't bat an eye when I picked up another pair for $145. Those will go in my basement HT. I also enjoy the KV-1 center that I recently picked up. It's a great match with the KG4. Now I just have to find the right set of surounds. I currently run KG2s upstairs and some older BICs downstairs. They work but I think I'm leaning towards the SS-1 surrounds for both HTs because of size and placement constraints. Thanks again for all of your suggestions and tips!

jagangjee Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Pat, $145 for a pair of KG-4's is a great deal!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerFan Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 KG4's were the first Klipsch speakers I ever owned. I had been using a pair of old Sony speakers that went with one of those record player/receivers my parents bought me when I was a teenager. I bought a laser/cd player with them and hooked it all up to my JVC receiver and I remember I just couldn't get over how clear the sound was. My first cd was a collection of hit singles from the Police. I was literally stunned, it felt like they were in the room with me. Traded up for Quartets (I must not have had them long, I don't even remember them) and finally ended up with Fortell's. I still have those.

bkrop Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Been loving my KG4s for almost 20 years now! Like all classic Klipsch, sound good, beautiful and built to last! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whell Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 I just picked up a pair about a month ago. I must admit, your buy price was a bit better than mine. However, I promptly hooked up mine to my trusty old Sansui 9090 and the sound is just fabulous. Can't say enough about these little gems.

B Schutte Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 My 18 year old KG4s are still going strong and have migrated to our Home theatre set-up. I would be interested in hearing everyones ideas on what they would use for the rear surround paired up with the KG4s. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks ---------------- KG-1, 1.2, or 1.5 Ideally, another pair of KG-4's, but most people don't have that kind of room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Schutte Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Thanks for the suggestion. I also have the Audiosource SW-15 subwoofer. Did you perform any of the modifications that you frequently see suggested on the web? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Might also be the location I have it in, but it's the only spot left in the room, LOL) I did stuff some pollyfill in it and removed the polyfill from the ports.

Pat ---------------- That is nearly the same setup my oldest brother has, except he has the KG4.2. He says he loves his speakers. He is also using a pair of KSB-1.1s for the surrounds. That is pretty cool when I find out my oldest brother also has Klipsch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camaro1781 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I got my first Klipsch product two weeks ago after I won an e-bay auction. A nice set of KG-4's from a guy in Kansas. I took a risk on them even though I've never heard them before. At this point of my listening to them, I think their the nicest 2-way's of their time and even possibly still are today. I paid $280.00 for them, but I've paid 4 times that for lesser sound in the past. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastlane Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 KG4's were the 1st Klipsch I heard, owned, and will probably own again at some point. I have had 4 pairs come and go. I remember noticing how clear they sounded compared to the monstrous AT-15 Cerwin Vega's I had lusted over for years, but never bought. Even had better (tighter)bass. Size does not always matter. Quality does. Price paid $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I've used SS-1 surrounds with my KG4's in my first home theater setup, and they worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatTrick66 Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I really like my KG1's with my KG3's since I picked them up. I think they look cool too, because it is basically the same speaker, just smaller. All speakers set to "small" combined with that new SVS about two months ago has been outstanding!
