Klipsch KG3
The KG3 is one of Klipsch's early-1990s efforts to bring horn-loaded dynamics to a more domestically friendly footprint. The advertising of the period leaned heavily on the "Nothing Else This Small Can Move You So Much" theme, promising lifelike presence and dynamics from a compact box — HiFI-Stereo (June 1991, p.69) ran that campaign, and the brand's pitch was that the carefully flared tweeter horn delivered a soundstage smooth and natural enough to feel tangible, with a ferrofluid-cooled compression driver handling the highs.
Documentation on the KG3 is otherwise thin. The verified record shows a 3-way, floor-standing, acoustic suspension design with a rated sensitivity of 98 dB, frequency response of 46 Hz–20 kHz, 8-ohm impedance, and 150-watt power handling. That 98 dB figure is the headline spec — it means the KG3 gets loud on modest amplification, consistent with Klipsch's efficiency-first philosophy. Surviving owner commentary is sparse but positive; one forum user simply called them "very nice speakers." A single listing shows an asking price of $399, though that's not a confirmed sale.
What isn't documented: production years, original retail price, dimensions, weight, crossover points, and driver complement details are all unrecorded in the sources we've found. There's also a minor naming inconsistency in the wild — some listings write "KG 3," others "KG3" — but it's the same speaker.
