dkalsi Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 There are two people locally selling Kplisch KG-4 for $100 and KG-5.2 for $180...... Any one of them worth it. Just thought I ask not too expensive to play around with now. Please share your thoughts... I read good stuff about the KG-4 at About.com as one best deal for the buck in used audio...nothing so far about the KG-5.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 kg 4s for $100 are a steal...buy them...kg 5.2s at $180 isn't bad but not the bargain the kg 4s are but... Good Luck, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tk49 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I bought a pair of KG 4's for $100, brought them home set them up and A/B them with my Forte II's. The 4's lacked substancially on the high end compared to the Forte's. I know it's not far to compare the two, just my .02. t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J M O N Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I recently picked up a pair of KG-4's. It had been many, many years since I heard them and forgot just how good they sound. They are almost being given to you at $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meagain Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I know, we hooked my old pair about a month ago and we laughed and looked at each other like... 'hey! pretty good". You MUST go get the KG4s. IDK anything about KG 5.2 but it looks like they only made them for 2 years? Both great prices it seems. I freeked when I saw a local pair of KG4 for $150 but they sold basically instantly and I just missed it. Go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbuckster Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Where are the KG4's for $100...Don't buy them, you'll hate them, they suck......Where are they located????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkalsi Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 I was able to pick up the KG-4s for $100. The actually drivers appear to be in perfect condition - She claims she never opened them or over blasted them at loud volumes. The cabinets are in excellent condition except for some paint marks (but no damage to the wood). The only thing missing was one of the positive terminals for one of the speakers (not the whole terminal but just the red cap) - not a problem because I will use banana plugs The lady wanted to get rid of them because she claimed they are too big - I found it funny when she asked me if I had enough space for these (its funny if you already have a pair of cornwalls and la scalas). I'm new to the Klipsch world - my three pairs were bought within the past 2 months... these I bought just because they were only 100 bucks - just to try them out even though I have no use for them. I will leave feed back one I hook them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwhaples Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Great deal! Enjoy them for awhile and let us know what ya think. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meagain Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Great! Congrats. Placement is critical with these due to the rear passive. You have to play with that quite a bit to get the sound you want. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkalsi Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Any suggestions for placement. - In regards to powering them, I will probably be using a Nakamichi TA-4A receiver. Thanks for your suggestions. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbuckster Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Yeah, in my home theatre set-up with my KG4's.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Joe Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Buy them! I just came across a pair in a garage sale....(paid only $10...they did not know what they had) and would have paid much, much more. Hooked them up and they sound fabulous! Really is concert hall performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisinvermont Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Any suggestions for placement. - In regards to powering them, I will probably be using a Nakamichi TA-4A receiver. Thanks for your suggestions. D Depending on your room you have to play around with how far off the walls they are. The passive woofers in the back can provide incredible bass if placed just right in a corner. If they are too close to a wall they can really mess up the sound. I just set up a home theatre with the KG-4's and added a subwoofer. With the crossovers set right I find that the placement of the KG-4s isn't as much of an issue. The room is filling up, so hopefully the 4's can stay. If not it may be the KG-1s and the 4s go back upstairs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_ranting Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I have found about 10" away from the wall behind it and no less than 8" from the corners if possible and i recently picked up a set of 2.5 to work in tandem with the 4s and have been crapping my pants ever since with a powerd sub behind the coutch and a set of bose 701 in the rear been having a lot of fun. But the 2.5 really complement the 4s i know they were never intended to be used together and purest might say im cray but the over all sound is amazing. you get everything to put it plainly i would suppose i would rate the 4s bythemselves a 6 and the 2.5s a 4 and a scale of one to ten them together with good amplificatoin i would rate the a 11 on the same scale However placemnt is an issue hope you like your as much as mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p4lm3r Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Holy thread bump, but I just "inherited" the KG4's I grew up on. Great speakers, but the horn can have some crakle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 not sure what that means but if you mean a bit rough sounding...try Klipsch or Bob Crites (BEC on this Forum) Titanium tweeter diaphragm modification...very nice with many Klipsch speakers and sound nice with my kg4s.
