I use them for H/T and 2-channel music listening. For H/T I want to run a 5.1 system. I already have a powered sub-woofer.

Thank you for your suggestions. I have fixed the baffles and replaced the tweeters with the Crites titanium diaphragms. I'm considering replacing the cross-overs with a complete Crites replacement. Room placement has work out great while keeping the wife happy. My next venture will involve an up-grade to my current receiver and/or separates. Has anyone experienced a substantial improvement in separation with the addition of more power to these speakers. It will cost me plenty to reach the 200 watt/channel mark and I want to be sure there will be an appreciable difference. If anyone feels that the move from 90 watts to 140 watts would be sufficient to realize better separation please let me know. Thanks.

Hello All, First I would like to show my appreciation for this wonderful resource. I'm sure it will save me thousands in hard earned cash and sleepless nights. I just acquired a nicely preserved pair of KLF-30's and couldn't be happier. They've exceeded my every expectation when used with my modest equipment. Since I've stumbled across this forum and others, I feel the need to drive these speakers to their full potential and I would greatly appreciate any input from members who have experience with this style of speaker. I'm currently powering them with a Yamaha AVR RX-V673. Admittedly I bought this unit on an impulse and now regret not doing more homework prior to buying it. It's a nice unit, but only has 90 watts/channel and no pre-outs. I want to hear the KLF's shine and am considering spending another $1500-$2000 to compliment them. I'm not sure I fully understand the relationship between efficient speakers and the power demands made by them. The KLF's are rated at 102db sensitivity yet I keep reading that they need to have 200 watts of power? They are large speakers and I suspect they will need a substantial amount of power to keep separation at volume. I believe that a receiver upgrade is a must; either a low wattage unit with separates or a higher wattage unit say 140 watt/channel? Will I notice much of difference between my 90 watt Yamaha vs. a Denon AVR-4311 140 watt? Or should I get a modest value receiver with pre-outs and get a 2-3 channel amp for the KLF's? Thanks in advance.
