I think their sound is very dependent on the characteristics of the amp, the settings of the amp that is used to drive them and room in which they are placed. -- Cement Contractor

None so far.

Great speakers for a basic system with a receiver or integrated amp. I bought these in excellent condition from a very clean one owner home off of Ebay for $150/pair. Initially I was disappointed in my Magnepans for lack of efficiency, and bought these for situations where I wanted to rock out. I placed them on top of my pair of 12" subwoofers, and found them shrill and tinny. However, after placing them upstairs against a wall, and on the floor, they just came alive. The design is meant to be listened to in this manner with the tweeters well below listening axis. Wall placement greatly augmented low bass. For most applications they will not need a subwoofer. They are smallish speakers for standalone towers, and thus have great wife acceptance factor.

Upper midrange around the 1800 hz crossover is slightly distorted. Might be the 20+ year old electrolytic caps in the x-overs. Might just be cone break up coming through as high order harmonic distortion. Only noticed by me after A-B switching with my Maggies, which shine for transparency and detail.

I'm a little late to the party, but I just acquired a pair of KG 3.5 for: $35. Canadian. On Craigslist. Fundamentally, they were gifted to me. Getting past the gift, I have a pair that are in good, but not ideal condition cosmetically, and perfect condition mechanically and electrically. As for the cosmetics, just a little white glue is needed to stick some wayward veneer trim back on. Grills are perfect. Some background. I'm a recording engineer and producer, By that I mean full time. Paying the mortgage. Most of what I do for clients is jazz, but I also engage in full production for singer-songwriters and some choral work too. For casual listening, my living room 2 channel system has consisted of an HK 3350 receiver and a pair of JBL L3 loudspeakers for the longest time, fed by a variety of sources. The studio houses the more esoteric gear, but the living room gear has been more than adequate for the casual sit on the sofa and read the newspaper on a Saturday morning session. I do like the L3 from JBL. They occupy very little real estate, and have a very dynamic presentation. I've learned to put up with some artifice from these classic titanium tweeters because I do like the air and transparency from them. An 8" woofer in a properly vented floor standing cabinet delivers more than ample low frequency extension for my tastes. Since I don't routinely listen to pipe organ music, full output at bottom octaves is unnecessary. The JBL's exhibit a somewhat but slightly forward upper mid presence, but again, it's little bit of drama for vocals. They certainly have more in common with JBL studio speakers than prior domestics from them. So, enter the KG 3.5. A long long time ago, in the late 70's, I was in audio retail. I worked for a Vancouver store called Rhodes, and we were Klipsch retailers. I had conflicted feelings about the line. I appreciated their commitment to unrestrained dynamics...so much effort from snob manufacturers was paid to "flat frequency response" (really only achievable in an anechoic chamber) but still resulted in products that couldn't "breathe music" in a dynamic lifelike sense...yet the Klipsch offerings delivered a frequency response that was so jagged, with annoying resonances generated by the horn materials themselves...never mind the fact that you had to arrange your life around their presence in your home. I have owned a lot of domestic product over the years. British speakers (B&W, KEF, Mordaunt Short, Cas

As for weaknesses, perhaps, with some sources or with mediocre recordings, the top end can come across a tad "etched", but really, a great loudspeaker by virtue of its transparency is going to reveal shortcomings in the signal chain. I read complaints about "absence of bass", but I don't understand this. Given the mechanical and size constraints of this design, the low end is more than ample, and I felt no sense that instrumentation that occupy those lower octaves was being under represented.

I have 23 year old KG3.5 floor standing speakers and just purchased the Reference Premiere 260 speakers. I am not an audiophile whatever that means but I do know when Metallica's Master of Puppets is rattling my brain. Anyway, the 23 year old speaker sound just as good as the new speakers. I probably wasted my money on the new ones.

I have owned these since new. They have been stellar. I think their sound is very dependent on the characteristics of the amp, the settings of the amp that is used to drive them and room in which they are placed. Sherwood 5.1 amp and hardwood floors gave these amazing sound. High power top-art Yamaha RXV459 really tinny with these yet with newer Klipsch F-20 amazing together. So Iput these back with an older Marantz PM-43 50wpc stereo amp and in a large room with carpet over concrete slab and gypsum walls and wow was I surprised! Deep but tight bass, crisp treble amazing wide sound stage, better imaging than 5 speaker set up in that room. With the right combination these speakers floored me again.

Awesome sound. I purchased these recently for 50 bucks off craigslist. Lucky for me the seller had no idea what he was selling.
As with any Klipsch the mids and highs are crisp and roll nicely down to the lows. In my setup I don't use a sub. The mains are on hardwood floors over my basement and I guess I am picking up resonance that way. I disconnected my 10inch polk sub and am running the eq on my amp flat.
These will keep me happy for a couple years until I can pickup a set of R7s or something from the Heritage line.

Clarity and high Frequency sound.

Lack of base

I purchased these from Criags list for 100.00 and that was an absolute steal. These replace some Bose 701s and what a difference it make. The base is somewhat lacking put the clarity and high-end is amazing. Added to a good quality sub these will blow you away. I was so impress with these that I replaced the rest of my 7.1 setup with Klipsch.

clarity

I've owned these for a couple of years now and still love them. They are built better than most of the Klipsch speakers made today. They sound great with or without a sub.
