  1. Sorry for taking my thread off topic. Maybe I should have started a new thread. I liked what STL had to say in the other thread about the KG 3.2 and 3.5 having the same woofer and tweeter. It makes sense that the 2.2 and 2.5 will sound the same sound or at least very close to each other. At least it will be a lot better match than the KV-3. Anyways, I think everything depends on how badly you want the speaker. It looks like you've been looking for the KG 2.5 for quite a while. If you can't find a good price on the 2.5's, I would buy the 2.2's now if you can get a good deal on them, try them, and sell them if they doesn't match well enough for you. If you get a good deal, you'll break even or possibly make a little bit on the sale. Even if you lost $20 or so, it might be worth it to have something "good enough" for now. Maybe you'll even find that it matches well, but is overpowered by the 5.5's. That'll take the 2.5 out of the picture too. Anyways, best of luck on your search.
  2. What do you think about picking up the pair of 3.5 and 4.5's off ebay and using the 4.5 as mains? I'm a noobie to the audiophile world, but redtop's(horned's) method/review of modding a KG 3.5's as a center channel seems intriguing. You just need to buy another piece of mdf and cut the holes for the woofers and ports, correct? I'm pretty sure I can add the bucking magnets. It's slightly out of my budget, but I'm seriously considering this. I know I'm getting greedy, but $350 for a pair of KG 3.5's and 4.5's is a really good deal, no? How do people have a rear center channel? Does that depend on the type of receiver? I'm thinking about this as a 6.0 setup with KG 3.5's as rear surround and 1 as a front and rear center channel, and with KG 4.5's as mains. I'm not planning on getting a sub yet, as these should be able to hit low enough frequency for me. I'm thinking about using this setup with a Onkyo tx-sr505 since I'm on a budget. I'm sure I'll upgrade receivers later, but can this receiver do a rear center channel? I thought 7.1's were just center, front pair, side pair, and rear pair of speakers, but I just recently saw members with a rear center channel. Any tips? Any recommendations on another budget receiver? Timbre match should be ok between the KG 3.5 and 4.5's?
  3. Thanks for the replies. That was very informative. So not all of the KG family necessarily go together? It's probably not possible for me right now, but there are a pair of KG 3.5 's and 4.5's on ebay that are a 3-4 hour drive from me. $350 for the 4 speakers seems like a steal if I were to pick them up. Do the KG 4.5's match the 3.5's? I see that the 4.5's and 5.5's have the same tweeter, but they're different from the 3.5's. At the same time, both the 2.5 and 3.3's have different tweeters, but are a good match. I guess I'm curious because the spec sheet only shows the KG 1.5 and 2.5 for the 4.5 and 5.5. Maybe I shouldn't put too much faith into the spec sheet since it also lists the KV-2 center channel as matching the KG line, when quite a few of the forum members say that it sounds distinctly different from the KG family.
  4. Hi, I'm new here. I have a pair of KG 3.5's and wanted a KG 2.5 as a center channel. The spec sheet shows that the KG 2.2 and 2.5 have different woofers. How much difference in sound do you think there would be? I want as close a timbre match as possible to my 3.5's, but I'm having trouble finding 2.5's for sale. There's a 2.2 on ebay local to me that I'll consider purchasing if they are truly identical in sound. Thanks.
