Sold my klipsch KG4’s today .......
Options
I hated to see them go - like an old friend ...
Bought them new in ‘87 .... they were in almost new condition.
But I knew I’d probably never use them again since I bought the Salks.
I sold them to the guy I bought the Salks from . He is a serious audiophile and was begging for them . They’re gonna keep his new Cornwall’s company . He gave me a really good deal on the Salks , so I returned the favor.
Miss them already for some reason , but they went to a good home ....
Gonna put the money towards a new amp.
There .... I feel better now ....

[I don't know what to say...other than why? I’ve let go of five different pairs of SDA’s and kept my two pairs of KG_4’s. I still love several of my Polks, but my KG-4’s with updated crossovers and bob crites tweeters are keepers.

Every speaker we have sold or (mostly given away or traded) we have regretted after a while.
Not sure how much nostalgia and just memories go with that, but they were not all awesome sounding, but most supplied awesome memories!
-
I know ... ask myself the same thing ....
Because the Salks blow them away and I know I’ll never use them again ....
My wife hated the way they looked .
Between my 1c’s and the Salks they’d just sit in the closet .....
They deserve better than my closet ...😃
If / when he tires of them they’ll come back to me ...
Like K_M said .... they hold memories...

Mine went to a buddy who uses them as fronts in his HT. Always liked them. Did the Crites titanium diaphragm upgrades. Can still be had for a song sometimes.

Thanks for sharing your love for KG4’s. I have never really liked the sound of any Klipsch I have heard. I will have to keep an eye out for a clean pair.

They are great little speakers - especially for the $500 when new ...
I was never a fan of the horn tweeter though.... just not crisp enough for me.
The bass was fantastic.
After I bought the 1c’s in ‘88 they sat in the closet for 20 years and then did intermittent duty here and there ...

That sounds like an unrelated issue as the stock tweeters in mine (with full mods) are VERY crisp and forward. I tried the Crites titanium upgrades but took them back out because they were as crisp as a teachers yard stick being broke over the top of my head... Could have been bad caps, speaker wire connection etc.Gustard X26 Pro DAC

Any crisper would cause immediate bleeding from the ears. I mellowed out a pair my buddy has with crossover upgrades. He likes them a lot more now.Political Correctness'.........defined
