Dayton BR-1 vs Klipsch KG2

[dylanclark112]

I have $200, I want some speakers.
Which should I go for, building the Dayton BR-1's (http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=300-640)\
or a set of secondhand Klipsch KG2 speakers?

Presumably the Klipsch are in perfect but used condition... The Dayton's are a kit.

Advice?

I heard those klipsch at a restaurant in nyc and they sounded very good! I love DIY but i think those klipsch will sound much different and better than the dayton kit.

This guy rocks. He really knows what he is doing, has a positive reputation to say the least and i always ready to answer technical questions along the way. I used his Insignia mods and I went from regretting my original purchase, to really enjoying the final speakers.

I second that the BR-1 is much better than the KG2. I had plenty of time with both and the BR's are much more refined, detailed and have better bass and treble extension. Midrange is also excellent on the BR's.
