Twin live 8's with a horn in the front and a 12' passive radiator in the back. I've got a TON of intuition on sound dispersal but it doesn't lend itself to text where I'm not looking at/listening to the soundspace. You don't see many box-shaped concert halls. Cathedral ceilings will always sound better than flat ceilings.

Generally, sound doesn't appreciate right angles once it's radiated. They're still horns even if the speakers aren't located there. Room corners are horns, again which may not be favorable. Doubling is a common phenomenon in speakers, wherein 40Hz input produces as much or more at 80Hz than it does at the fundamental. I have to EQ down the 3rd octave to clear up the first two. I thought Klipschs were designed to take that into consideration, but I've only seen one Klipsch model. Sitting on the floor puts the speaker at the apex of a horn, which may not be favorable. L100s sound like poo if you stand them upright like 4311s which use the exact same components. Many listeners don't discern as long as they feel SOMEthing 'down there'.

Those aren't just studio guys, they're the ones who play for movie soundtracks and it's mixed accordingly. The casual listener will probably fall in love with them, but for the more discerning listener, you can do far better for $650.Д®minem is quite the exception. Overall impression these speakers were built at a price point, and it shows. If you have more sedate musical tastes, you will probably enjoy the tweeters, as they sounded well balanced on 75% of the music I played. However, this resolution also turned into the speaker's weak point when playing material such as heavy metal guitars sounded extremely shrill, and had me lunging for the amplifier's treble control. They have a very satisfying level of resolution and detail, and instruments like cymbals and strings sing. Onward to the tweeter, which is probably the brightest point of these speakers (pun intended). Even though this is a two-way design, I was quite shocked at how poorly voiced the speaker was crossovers are something that Klipsch usually excels at, but in this speaker, there was a glaring lack of midrange. In addition, on more demanding material, my ears picked up some slight but definite woofer cavitation and breakup, but I will admit that this was the exception and not the rule. The overall bass characteristic is that of boomyness hardly smooth. As stated, bottom end is listed as 31 Hz and my ears say they will do it, but it's hardly an effortless endeavor.

I gave these a thorough wringing out, listening to everything from techno to Elvis. Sensitivity is 94 dB, and frequency response is given as 31-20,000 Hz. The price per pair at that time was approx. They are a two-way design featuring an 8' woofer, front-mounted passive radiator, and a horn tweeter. The KG 3 was one of Klipsch's entry-level floorstanding speakers produced from 1990-92. I just picked up a pair of these today for $60, and I thought it would be fun to do a review of them.I hope you enjoy, and add your own comments as well.Д«ut first, a little background on them.
