Todd, Thanks for the response. I have been thinking about adding a sub to the center channel even though it is HP at 40hz. This way I wont be missing anything from where the 2.2 rolls of and lower. BFD is Berhinger Feedback Destroyer. Its a parametric EQ. Sooner or later I will figure out the best configuation for mu HT/music system. I will post my findings. ANyone else have any thoughts? earle

I just bought a pair of Klipsch KG 5.2's. I now have 5.2's as my mains and surrounds and 4.2's as center surrounds. My center is a KG 2.2v. The preamp is a Rotel 1055, with a Rotel 985mkII and a RB 1070 powering the speakers. Subs are 2 SVS 20-39's and a 25-31PCi. The Rotel 1055 allows the subs to crossed over at 40hz, 60hz, and 80hz. It does go higher but I have no need of the higher frequencies. I currently have the speakers set to small with a 40hz xover. With this setting nearly all room mode issues are gone. The problem is the KG 2.2 is not capable of playing down to 40hz. The other speakers have no problem going down to 40hz in my room. I wish the Rotel had the Outlaw or HK triple crossover. I have been thinking of setting all spekers to large except the center. I could then HP the center at 60 or 80hz. This would solve the center channels problem, but the rest of the speakers cant go much lower than 40hz with any volume. I was using 60hz as a HP xover before I got the 5.2's as surrounds, but then I have a few bass issues(peaks and valleys). This worked out ok for HT but for music I really prefer the 40hz setting. Anyone have any thoughts. I have a BFD and am pretty good at using it, but I would really like to get rid of any extra wires and adapters in my system. They can only add noise. Earle

I just got back from picking up my new surrounds. A mint pair of KG 5.2's. They sound great. I now have a KG HT. Mains KG 5.2's Center KG 2.2v Surrounds KG 5.2's Rear centers KG 4.2's Now for the fun part...The tweaking. pics and updates to come soon Earle

anyone???

I will be using a Rotel 985mkII to power the center channel along with the 4 surround speakers. A Rotel RB-1070 powers the mains. Just curious if the KG4 is a sonic match for the kg 5.2s? Earle

I currently am using KG 5.2's, 4.2's, and a 2.2v. I wnat to upgrade to a larger center channel. Would the KG4 match with my other speakers? Im looking for a single 4.2 but this has proved difficult. The kg4 is shorter than the 4.2 and that helps. Thoughts... Earle

If somebody in the CT area is looking for a nice clean pair of black KLF 20's and a black C-7, a local store has these speakers for $900. Pretty sweet deal. They are unwilling to break up the 3 speakers(I tried I wanted the C-7). Email me for the store and their phone number. earle

Bill Thanks for the info, but I am currently using a 2.2v for my center and want to go with something bigger earle

STL, I not going to rebuld the front of the speaker. Im just gonna put it in front of the TV. I can raise the TV about a 1' so that the speaker doesnt block the TV. I may be interested. can you send me some pics? Earle

Deal, if I some across one Ill let you know Earle

Im looking for a single 4.2 or 3.2 now. Maybe oneday I'll get lucky and find a local deal. Earle

UP

Thanks, but I think im gonna pass. The shipping would probably be $$$ anyways Earle

Do youy have the xover for the 4.2? I would be interested in the speaker.enclosure and, cross over Earle

Nice setup. I have 5.2s for my mains with a 2.2v for the center. I use 4.2 for my surrounds. You will love the 5.2s sound. earle

STL I maybe interested. Im in CT where are you located? Are you willing to trade? I have a parametric EQ available. LMK Earle

Im looking for a single KG 4.2 or 3.2 to use as a center channel. Im located in CT so anyone in the NE let me know. Earle

ygm

If you decide to get rid of the 4.2's let me know. I have been looking for a pair for awhile now, need them for my rear centers. Earle

Mint condition. Used as a preamp amp for most of its life(just powered the rear surrounds). Have remote and manual. No original box, but will pack properly for shipping. Asking $575+shipping of your choice LMK Earle

I have a mint Outlaw ICBM and a ART 351 sub EQ for trade. Make me an offer. Would love a nice clean Acurus A100 ampfor the ICBM. Also have a Perfect Denon 3802 for sale, asking 600+half the shipping. Not interested in trading the 3802. Would sell all three foir $950 shipped to the lower 48 LMK Earle

Yeah theres something about the smooth silky sound of the Rotel. The 1055 is identical to the 1066, except for the tuner and onboard amps. The fact that it is $300 less is a huge bonus. I find myself able to listen much louder without getting tired of the sound. Watching a movie at reference was hard to to with the Denon, I just watched Blade II at reference with no fatigue. The adjustable LP/HP crossover is sweet. I have it set to 40hz and it sounds great. I know that I probably have it set too low, but going back and forth between 40 and 60, it just sounds better at 40hz. My mains are Klipsch KG 5.2's and they seem happy. I watched chapter 10 of the Haunting DTS ES at refernce and nothing bottemed. So Im gonna keep it there. I have posted some pics of the 3802 for sale in the generals area, sorry for the shamless pitch. Earle This message has been edited by Earle Decker on 09-16-2002 at 06:41 AM
