Big vintage speakers klipsch kg line

Well............I don't think that my KG-4 is a very good match to my Classe amp and room. And ultimately, one should probably spend a bit more than this for speakers. I would gladly trade some whomp for a more balanced midrange, and a bit more midrange resolution. And the Heritage series are all three ways and may address this. But I don't think horns are for me. I get the feeling that I am at that concert where I am sitting a little too close to the PA speakers. Never quite comfortable.

Viridian,

If those Klipsch have the original xovers in them, upgrade them and then you will be able to hear the true potential of those speakers. Klipsch speakers go well beyond the next level of performance with some upgraded caps and resistors.

It's a simple upgrade that doesn't require the shipment of your speakers, just the small xovers that are easy to remove and reinstall.

OK, I'm back! I finally got around to trying the KG-4s with the tube gear and the result is really quite nice. The whole sounds much better than the parts. I am still not used to the presentation, which is a bit different, but overall the listening experience is quite engaging and honors the music. Which is what we want, I suppose.

Where can I find info on upgrading the x-overs in my KG4 and Tangent 30 speakers?
Thanks
John

I have owned two pairs of KG4s.
I think the earlier ones sounded better for some reason.I suspect the tweeter or crossover was changed on later ones.The earlier pair was prone to burning out tweeter voice coils-but that was a simple replacement job.

They can sound really nice with very tubey sounding amps like a 300b SET.

Also you need to stand mount them so the tweeters are at ear height when sitting down-which goes for any spoeaker.The little skirt on the bottom is best removed.
