INTRO
--------------
speaker shootout: vintage klipscH kg2, heathkit as-1039,yamaha ns-A636 , here are three sets of speakers I acquired. I was initially   excited about the Klipsch with 2 drivers in front and one passive radiator in back. just because of the brand, the yamaha 3-ways looked great and beey and then the ugly duckling heaths (heathkit speakers & only 2 way speakers).

Testing
--------------

Klipsch kg2 - hooked one up and sound was clear but small. hooked the other even worse only trebble. Turns out mine are not working properly,but I got the idea of the sound. One driver not working in one cabinet. but even if it was, I was disappointed in the puny sound compared to my larger sansui s2000 and electrovoice iV's and it could not compete with the heath as you will see...read on.

Yamaha- fairly modern neutral sound. good balance,but lacking in bass. reminds me of a JBL without the J...Just ok, not great, not bad.I expected a lot more especially in the bass department. cheap drivers I guess.

Heakit- this speaker looks like those cheap jc penny crappy speakers and only 2 way.but upon hooking them up, the sound was incredible!! supr clear,full range great bass,mid ,highs. very open sound. completely blew away the other two. i heard the woofer in each are going for $100 and I now see why. filled my living room very well for smallish speakers. very nice.big horn provides almost "holographic sound going way beyond the speakers.

 Conclusion
------------------
never judge a book by its cover.Same thing with speakers. the small homely heath (heathkits) came through loud and clear with exceptional sound for a smallish 2 wy speaker. Great imaging and sound stage. the other two  just don't compete. I would have never guessed.
