Does anyone have experience with the comparison of the KLF 30s vs EV Sentry IVb? I have a pair of each and have to get rid of one of them. Initially I did not have good amplification for either speaker. I started out with a Mcintosh MA6200 (75wpc) and hooked the Sentrys up to it. Beautuful. But I thought 'I'm not convinced this is the best sound I can get'. I wanted to see how the KLF's sound when sufficiently powered (I didn't think the MA6200 would do them justice). So, I picked up a Mcintosh MC352 to power the KLF 30's using the MA6200 as a preamp. First of all, for some reason I thought the MC352 would be a huge step in clarity from the MA6200 due to the more recent technology and massive increase in power. What I learned was that the MA6200 is a damn clean amp. The MC352 provided more bass, but the MA6200 held its own in the mid and uper horns. Sencondly when the MC352 was hooked up to the KLF-30s the bass was deep, but didn't hit as hard as the Sentrys with just the MA6200. Point being when all this started I thought I was going to dump the Sentrys once the KLFs were sufficiently powered. The truth is, I prefer the Sentry - MA6200 combo with a sub (RSW-15) to the KLF-30 MC352/MA6200 preamp combo... Please with those who have experience with KLFs and Mcintosh let me know if I'm way off bass or if there are possible configurations adjustments that could/should be made to get a harder hitting sound out of the KLF-30s...
