I have just bought a pair of KG4 used, probably 30 years old. Everything is ok, but one of the woofers has a slight hiss which will stop when you tap a finger lightly on the cone, but will return after lifting off. the seller said it might need to be recoiled. I like the sound, the horn is not harsh at all, and the bass is low, especially at night listening at very low volume, the bass can still be felt.
I have a question: I also see some old KG4.5 and 4.2 on sale, and looking at their photos, I noticed that these have narrower profiles, whereas the KG4 is much wider, will this make them sound very different? I presume 4.5 and 4.2 are newer products, will they be worth replacements for the 4s? I especially wish to play classical music in big scale (like orchestra pieces) with huge dynamic contrasts, which of these speakers is best?
In general, would appreciate some good comparisons among these models.
