I've had both the KV-2 and the KV-3 and agree that the KV-3 is able to produce a clearer and more full sound than the KV-2. If you got a good deal on the KV-3, you'll be glad you made the upgrade. However, I do have to say that I too noticed a deficit in the overall clarity of dialog in even my KV-3 so recently sold it and bought an RC-7. All I can say is WOW!!! What a difference that RC-7 made. I could not believe what my ears were missing.
