True, there were audible amounts of harmonic distortion, but the fundamentals were unmistakably there. While the kg2.2 system's actual variation in response through the bass and lower midrange is arguable, our ears provided convincing evidence that a pair of these speakers can generate an impressive output in the 30- to 60-Hz range. But when we ignored the floor-reflection peak in the room curve and assumed that the response was reasonably flat between 150 and 400 Hz, the two curves matched up very nicely to form a composite response varying only about +/-3 dB from 30 to 20,000 Hz. Obviously, no simple or unambiguous splice would be able to create a believable response curve combining the close-miked and room responses. The close-miked woofer response, when combined with the port radiation, resulted in a response curve that varied about +/-2.5 dB from 30 to 200 Hz and sloped off smoothly to about -12 dB at the nominal 2,200-Hz crossover frequency. The room response was excellent, with an overall variation of about 5 dB from 60 to 20,000 Hz, except for an unavoidable floor reflection that introduced a 5-dB peak at 270 Hz. Binding-post terminals recessed into the rear of the cabinet, just below the enclosure vent, accept wire ends, lugs, or dual banana-plug connectors.įor room-response measurements and listening tests, we placed the speakers on 26-inch stands, 3 feet in front of a wall and about 8 feet apart. The speaker's wooden cabinet has a removable black cloth grille. Its nominal impedance is 8 ohms, its frequency response is specified as 50 to 20,000 Hz +/-3dB,anditis recommended for use with amplifiers rated up to 75 watts output. Like other Klipsch speakers, the kg2.2 has above-average efficiency, with sensitivity rated as 93 dB sound-pressure level (SPL) at 1 meter with a 2.83-volt drive signal. The woofers are located near the top and bottom of the speaker panel, with the tweeter between them. i have the RF 82's and I love them but those have the fullest sound I have ever heard.The Klipsch kg2.2 is a compact two-way speaker with two 6.5-inch woofers in a vented enclosure that cross over to a horn-loaded tweeter at 2,200 Hz. instead of someone who has beaten them or blasted for 20 + yrs. ya I'm in no rush, i'm going to wait when I have the $ and find some guy who has used them for playing classical or jazz music out of them. If they are close, be a tire kicker and go hear them on the equipment that's driving them.you never know.Ĭool. If there is a chance that you'll be able to score and swap out for some in better condition for ~ the same price, then you might buy these to do that.I would. A few months ago, I sold a pair of Forte that are in a lot better condition to a fellow forum member for only $80 more than the ones in the ad. If there's no way you're going to be replacing your next purchase and what you get are going to be in and area where you'll be showing them off, then you might hold out for ones in better condition. Last but not least - They are Forte and should sound wonderful They are far from what I would call beaters Most people price a little high than what they have to have and you might do a little better than the asking price It's not hard to find badges and the look fine without them One could find a something to place on the tops to hide the chew places (cloth, smoked glass, marble) I used them until I got some KLF30, then sold them for what I had in them - then had sellers remorse. They look better than my first Forte and are priced close to the same.
The ones in the ad look to be worth the money, especially if he throws in the cables and if they're close to you.
