jheis Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I have a pair of fairly recently acquired KG-4.5's They seem to have a rather distinct sound character - sort of like sibilence, but - not really. I'm not sure how to describe it. The bass is "boomy" and there seems to be an unnatural accent on consonants - especially on spoken word. P's have kind of a "pfff" and B's are kind of "bfff," etc. Is this port noise I'm hearing? What ever it is, I don't like it. I've got lots of heritage and I don't like the sound of the KG-4.5's in comparison. Is there a fix or should I just get rid of them? I've got KG-2's out in the garage & I've always liked their sound (of course, they have a passive radiator rather than a port).

Jay481985 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 port noise well sounds like what you would think it sounds like, too much air through a small hole *fart* the pfff and bffff sound too high to be from the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbuckster Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Are they ported or Passive raditors? My KG4's are raditors....don't know about 4.5's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jheis Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 The KG 4.5's have a Tractrix horn tweeter, a 10" cone woofer and 4" diameter front port. My office and BR systems have pretty much the same electronics with the main difference being Hersey's in the office and the KG 4.5's in the BR. The change in sound quality going from Heresy's to KG 4.5's is very noticeable. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
