The Klipsch kg2 is a compact two-way speaker system with a passive radiator to extend the bass response of its woofer. The 8-inch woofer has a 2-1/2-inch-diameter voice coil and a polypropylene cone. The crossover from the woofer to the 1-inch hard-dome tweeter is at 1,800 Hz, and the tweeter is front-loaded by a short horn with a 2-1/2-inch mouth diameter. The passive cone, about 10 inches in diameter, is on the rear surface of the enclosure. According to Klipsch, it becomes operational below about 70 Hz and is most effective when the speaker is placed about 1/2 to 1 inch from the wall; in that position the low-bass output emerges from the narrow slot created around three sides of the speaker cabinet. The instructions suggest, however, that users experiment with different locations (including corner placement for maximum bass) and note that the speaker can be mounted horizontally or vertically.
The system has a nominal 4-ohm impedance (2 ohms minimum) and a rated sensitivity of 90.5 dB sound-pressure level at 1 meter with a 1-watt input of band-limited pink noise. It is recommended for use with amplifiers that are rated between 10 and 120 watts per channel. The enclosure of the Klipsch kg2 is 18-7/8 inches high, 13-1/4 inches wide, and 11-1/2 inches deep. It is available with oiled oak or walnut veneers; the snap-retained grille is covered in black or brown cloth. Weight is about 23-1/2 pounds.
Price: $420 per pair (1984-1992)
