Kilpsch KG4s or JBL L40s?

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!!

KG4's and Marantz 2252B is a great match. I had the KG4's until I upgraded to the Forte's. As mentioned, warm tube-like sound with either speaker.
