just inherited a pair of Klipsch KG-1 bookshelves from isak0411. (btw, he upgraded to a pair of rb-3 bookshelves!) the KG-1's cabinet appears to be made out of real wood! unlike the new models, this model has a transducer type tweeter and its already out of production.
its a very transparent bookshelf speaker. unforgiving to a bad source, frontend. i use it, once in awhile with my "all chrome, rivo special" dynaco st-70 amp.
sounds terrible before amp reaches 15 minutes of warm up. after 30 minutes, its just remarkable how the mids start to come out and the highs become more mellow. like most klipsch models, its unbeatable with brass-heavy, jazz like Clark Terry, Wynton Marsalis, Miles Davis, John coltrane, Bill Holman, Count Basie, and similar stuff.
mabuhay ang klipsch!
