Kilpsch KG4s or JBL L40s?

I'm looking forward to potentially buying these and checking them out tonight. The owner thinks the speakers are from 84. I'll update later. Thanks for the info. This is a slippery slope but every inch you drop sounds better...

I picked up the Klipsch speakers. I didn't get a "deal" but so far I am pleased. I'll have to play with placement but I would describe them as sounding rather "Lush" with nice separation. Bass is good so far. I expected less tightness (not to say they are super tight but better than I expected). Vocals seem to be the best improvement so far but I've only had time to play a few things. The horns are not at all "harsh" or "bright" to my ears. Vinyl is sounding good. I'll have to some CD tests later. I like the way the look too. Simple and kinda smart looking. Look forward to many more hours of listening. After spending 25 years digging up records, it's about time I really get to actually sit back and enjoy them!

While I can't say I am done with placement my only complaint would be that the bass is a bit tricky to nail down. My ears would like it to be perhaps a bit more "clear" but I realize that my ears are not settled with these yet and my listening room is not too large, so I'll have to keep playing around with placement a bit.

I can say I just had my face nearly melted off listening to RAM... I heard some details I have never heard before. What a great LP.

I have some Kg4's....I like mine a lot. I also have some Klipsch Forte, and I like them even better.

In truth, like many long term audiophiles, I have to many speakers...so sadly, I don't listen to some of them as much as I should.

I haven't listened to my kg4's in a while...I think I'll do that now.........thanks for the reminder.

My system consisted of a 2252B and KG4's for a while. I enjoyed them until I stumbled across something better. I imagine you will likely travel a similar path.

Enjoy!!
