I found a pair of Klipsch KG4's on CL for $150, the seller says this:

They are 20 years old. One has some silicon on the speaker where it had
come loose but it's very minor.
The other one has a watermark from an ice tea glass on it.
Other than these two blemishes they are perfect.

I was thinking using them to replace the P-152 Infinity's I am using for fronts or using them with an old Technics receiver I have for a 2 channel vintage system.

Are they worth $150 in your opinion(s)?

Thanks

It is up to you.
From my listening - the Klipsch KG series does not sound as clean and
smooth as the Infinity Primus speakers. The KG series is a little shouty
and spitty sounding, and the midrange is not strong. Klipsch has worked
to improve their horn technology from the KG series. It would not hurt to
listen to them - if you like them, then offer $100.

The 152's are OK with HT but I listen to music in 2 channel and they do not have the "depth" I want. I was also thinking of new Polk Tsi200's to replace them. What I have now is:
Onkyo TX-sr608
Infinity P152 fronts
infinity P250 center
Polk R150 surrounds
2 Emotiva Ultra 10 subs

What is you budget - the Tsi200 will not have much depth.

If you are looking for a solid musical speaker on a budget - with
detail, definition and depth. Then check this one out - Cambridge
Audio S30 speaker - Infinity and Polk can not touch it. And, this
is not a wimpy speaker.
