klipsch kg3 Speakers. The Klipsch kg3 is a moderate-price two-way system that combines extended bass response and high sensitivity in a compact and attractive package. It is also the smallest and least expensive true horn-loaded system offered by Klipsch. The kg3’s single 8-inch woofer has a polystyrene cone, a 20-ounce magnet, and a rubber surround. The speaker’s low-frequency output is augmented by a 10-inch passive radiator mounted on the front panel below the woofer. The passive radiator contributes an effective output from its rated 36-hz cutoff frequency up to about 100 Hz. In previous systems in the kg line the passive radiators were located in the rear, but Klipsch engineers found that front-mounting produced better coupling with the output of the kg3’s driven woofer. At 1,800 Hz there is a crossover to a horn-loaded, ferrofluid-cooled dome tweeter, with an 18-dB-per-octave slope to the tweeter and a 12-dB-per-octave slope to the woofer. The wood cabinet is available finished in oiled walnut or oak veneer or in black lacquer. The cabinet measures 24-1/4 inches high, 13-7/9 inches wide, and 11-1/4 inches deep, including the removable black cloth grille, and each speaker weighs 31-1/2 pounds. The rated sensitivity of the Klipsch kg3 is 93 dB sound-pressure level (SPL) at 1 meter with a 1-watt input. Its nominal impedance is 8 ohms, with a 4.4-ohm minimum at 165 Hz. Rated power-handling capacity is 65 watts continuous and 325 watts peak. The system's frequency response is given as 36 to 20,000 Hz ± 3 dB. Price: $530 a pair.
