[QUOTE="Winslow, post: 1116389, member: 9104"] My Klipsch KG4's certainly hold their own against modern speakers. They gave my very well set up Vandersteen 2CE Signatures (which are no slouches) a good run for their money only loosing out in clarity and bass detail and not by much. Same room same front end. The KG 4's (1985-1992) are 94db efficient, sing on low power and are not fussy about placement, they like being close to a wall or a corner, unlike the Vandersteens which require space, they are still with me the Vandersteens have moved on. Modern speakers do compromise on the quality of drivers etc, you are paying for the finish and look. That's why a good DIY speaker gives a far better result sound wise vs cost. My Cornscala D's (a Cornwall/La Scala clone) are certainly not outperformed by the Klipsch Cornwall IV's coming in at +- R190K vs a R50K no compromise build on the Cornscalas [/QUOTE]
