    Price Check on Legend Series

    I have found a pair of mint condition, black KLF-10s down the street from where I live. The problem is the seller wants $500 firm. Is that a bit much for the black finish? I told him I thought it was but wanted some other opinions. My other pair I picked up for $175 which I know was a steal, but I would rather wait than pay too much.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks!!

    KLF-10 versus C7 for center channel

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    So I know this is not exactly a new topic, but i have been wondering what would make a better center, a KLF-10 or a C7.

    I've read on here about success stories of turing a klf10 into a center, but is that really better than a C7 and if so, why? are there better components inside a 10? is it the cabinet size?

    I currently have KLF10 - C7 - KLF10 up front and have been thinking about the benefits of switching out the C7. Plus, they are pretty well in demand currently and could almost get a pair of 10s for the price of 1 C7, resulting in (sort of), a free speaker to use as a rear center.

    Interference and space are not issues for me.

    Any advice is as always, greatly appreciated.

    480i, or 480p?

    All depends what you're sending it to. my projector has a faroudja deinterlacer, so i leave my cheapy dvd player set to 480i, and let the projector do the heavy lifting.

    If you really cant see a difference, then i guess it's a moot point anyways, it's all about perception anyways :)

    New receiver or new speakers??

    Thanks for all the input everyone. Oldtimer if you can believe it i only paid $175 last winter for my klf-10s, plus $150 in Monster Cable. Crazy, i know. If i could find that deal again id buy them in a second :)

    I'm going to pass on the marantz because it's only 6.1 Looks like it's just a matter of preference in what should come next so im just going to wait until that perfect deal comes down the line.

    Thanks again!

    Hi all,

    I havent purchased any new gear in the last 6 months and am starting to get a little antsy. I have been building my system one piece at a time for the last half a decade when money has permitted and am up to the following setup:

    KLF10s

    KLF-C7

    4 Quintets for surround (i know, i know...)

    Defintive Tech sub

    Onkyo TX-SR503 7.1 receiver (75wpc)

    Infocus 4805 projector

    There is a marantz sr6200 receiver for sale locally for 350. I am wondering, do i go for the receiver, or would i be much better off upgrading the rear surrounds with that same 350? I was thinking maybe a pair of ksf-s5's? Space is currently an issue but i wouldnt mind cramming something in my HT room if it meant sound would be drastically improved.

    How do marantz and onkyo compare? I've always had onkyo's and have been pretty happy but lately i feel dialog has been more shallow than it should be.

    Thanks for your opinion!!

    Projector reccomendations.

    Havent seen the infocus 4805 mentioned yet. I picked one up last year, and couldnt be happier with the PQ for the $. This is a DLP with a 4X color wheel. Rainbox effect is effectively eliminated. Im sure theres better out there in the 1k-2k range, but for the sub 1k price, its worth a look.

    Need some recommendions on my HT

    I also have been putting together a HT on a budget over the years, slowly ugrading as i get more cash (who isnt?). I used to have ksf-8.5's with a C5 center, now have legends. KSFs are good speakers for the price that they can be had for nowadays. For a budget receiver, i recommend onkyo. Shopokyo sells refurb or discontinued models, all with warranties pretty cheap. I picked up a 75wpc 7.1 receiver for about $200. (SR503) For that price youre not getting the most powerful receiver in the world but with your really efficient speakers, you'll be just fine.

    What center and surrounds to match Legend KLF-20's? What about a sub?

    You definately want to find a klf-C7 center. That is the correct matching center for your mains. There is usually one on ebay in the 300-350 range. Some people sell them on this forum as well. If you cant find one right away, be patient, it's worth the wait to have matching speakers up front.

    For surrounds there really isnt a perfect match for the KLF mains, except more KLFs. You could get towers if space isnt an issue. Some suggest running more C7s for surround which i imagine sounds pretty great. I'd also be willing to bet ksf-s5 rears would match pretty well.

    Dont know much about klipsch subs, but someone will chime in on that one.

    good luck

    Sounds good to me maroon! Maybe if he doesnt want to ship it you could

    pick it up for me and i could pay for your time to send it out? Im just

    in NH so i am almost willing to drive to RI to get it, but that is a long way for 1 speaker.
