Review 1 of 10

Price Paid:  $50.00 from found these on CL.

Summary:
I scored these fantastic speakers at a unbelievable price ($50.00), they also came with heavy duty monster cable. I believe the sellers father was the owner of these speakers and he had died, so they wanted the speakers to go someone who honestly would take care of them. They are a pair of Klipsch 3.2 (in Oak), the condition: dusty. Other then that, a solid 9.5 if not indeed 10. I'm currently working them with a vintage Kenwood KR-7400 receiver, but most certainly will try my other vintage receivers, Marantz, Sanusi, JVC. I think they'll work well with my Sansui 881, (one of my favorties). After a quicky cleaning, I gave them a test run with my Blood,sweat & tears CD "Spinning wheels". Impressed? You bet!! I felt like a kid on Christmas morning with his new toy(s). The sound was crystal clear with more then enough bass. If you can get you hands on a pair of these with out having to get a part-time job to pay for them, BUY THEM! If anyone gives these Klipsch 3.2 a poor grade, they are eighter tone deaf, or just not too bright.

Strengths:
Quality bulit cabinets, Excellent clearity & bass, they don't crap out at high volume. If you like music with a lot of horns, etc. look no further.

Weaknesses:
None that I can see/hear other then I only have one pair.

Review 2 of 10

Price Paid:  $400.00 from Newport News Va 1993

Summary:
I took my KG 3.2 into my local Klipsch store and the owner Mr Fawley hwho has been in the business for over 30 yrs suggested that I keep these vs trading them. He sells Klipsch, Harmon Kardon and Luxman Products.

James

Strengths:
I absolutely love the highs , and mids. I have bose systems in each of my cars. No comparison for the crisp, clean sounds. When I retired from the Army, I worked at Bose and was able to compare. Again Bose came up lacking. I'm getting a Harmon Kardon AVR 320 reciever and Klipsch center
and sb1 bookshelf speakers. I have not decided to get a Klipsch sub or Veladyne sub. THE kg 3.2 ARE KEEPERS.

Weaknesses:
After 8 yrs. of bliss. none to note.

Review 3 of 10

Price Paid:  $250.00 from ad in newspaper

Summary:
I heard the Klipsch 4.2 at Best Buy and was floored by the sound, but couldn't afford them. I saw an ad in the paper for the 3.2 at $250 which I guess is about 1/2 to 1/3 of the cost, when new. I believe in the passive radiator design over the base reflex or even the sealed enclosure. I also have the Boston Acoustic HD-10 which uses the passive radiator design and appreciate these speakers as well. You can see what incredible care went into producing these wonderful speakers.

Strengths:
great bass and treble

Weaknesses:
These speakers may be colored to emphasise bass or treble. If so, I don't mind. They sure sound great. A bit heavy for their size.

Review 4 of 10

Price Paid:  $450.00 from Bryn Mawr Stereo

Summary:
These speakers have proven to be an excellent choice for over 3 years. I listen to all kinds of music at all types of volumes. I recently upgraded from an old Kenwood receiver to a Technics DTS receiver which gave my Klipsch speakers new life! I use the KG-3.2's as my front main speakers. The only thing I do notice is a lack of midrange, but that can be expected, I would think, from any 2-way speaker system using a woofer and a tweeter only. Klipsch gets my seal of approval! :-)

Strengths:
crisp, clean well defined sound

Weaknesses:
somewhat lacking midrange

Similar Products Used:
Klipsch Synergy, Technics DTS receiver, Boston Acoustics Subwoofer, Kenwood CD, Audio Control Equlizer, JVC DVD player

Review 5 of 10

Price Paid:  $400.00

Summary:
These speakers worked out well until i brought home a pair of vintage sansui sp-x9000s which sounded considerably better. (bigger woofers, too!) i was totally shocked. the kg3.2 really held its own at first but the vintage sansui speakers showed me how much sound i was missing, in every range. they reduced the kg3.2s to overpriced crap. toys that i would not even dream of buying again. having owned the kg3s, kg4s and the kg3.2s and having now sold them all, i feel like the fog has been lifted. the heresy II is a considerably better buy from Klipsch.

Strengths:
appearance

Weaknesses:
these speakers are deceptive. they sound good until compared to good speakers.

Similar Products Used:
Klipsch 3.0, fortes, heresy IIs, chorus IIs, ksb 3.1s, 2.1s,
KG4s.
