  1. If you happen to change your mind re separating, I'm in on the center! glws.
  2. Wuzzer (and others): I wouldn't be able to "center" the 3rd klf-20 vertically, but could do so horizontally. Which way would work better, off-center but horizontal or vertical and centered. Room width is 13 feet, tv will be 68" and centered. Thanks!
  3. Thanks Wuzzer-looks like I'm going to have an extra klf-20. 1st world problem for sure!
  4. I'm refinishing basement - have 4 klf-20's and c-7, so could run the 20's for front and rears with c-7 center, or run three 20's as front setup, and run RS-62ii's as rears. Any recommendations? Use is evenly split between music and movies. For the surrounds will either stay with RS-7's or go in-wall with R-5502 or something similar, and in-ceiling atmos like the CDT-5800-C rather than mount my 4 RP-500SA's. Room size around 13-24 (but different ceiling elevations due to boxed in ductwork that doesn't affect in-ceiling placement but does affect the RP-500SA's if ceiling mounted. Denon x6700h Yamaha M-80
  5. Thanks for the input! I think they probably would if I want to buy used equipment. But if I am interested in replacing with new equipment (and I am not trying to open a debate as to whether I should or shouldn't move off the KLF-20), what would be the closest comparable?
  6. Mates: I'm looking for opinions as to what current Klipsch speaker is closest in comparison to the KLF-20's. For insurance purposes due to a house fire, we are attempting to ascertain "replacement value", (ie., cost to replace currently-not "actual cash" value which calculates initial cost minus depreciation). Company has been very fair to date and recognizes it is very difficult to compare the Legend series to current lines, so input from those of you with much more knowledge/experience would be much appreciated! Thanks!
  7. Great idea, I believe I get to keep them once they officially total them out, so perhaps I'll just put them on that section "as is" disclosing the circumstances! Agree- that is part of my inquiry as to what I should negotiate with the insurance company as to what amount they believe is fair replacement cost.
  8. I do love the 20's-have never listened to the Forte's or RF-7III's, though I have read plenty of posts from the community comparing them to each other (with quite a variety of opinions as well :).
  9. Folks: My KLF-20's are being "totaled out" by my insurance due to smoke damage. While I am sure this is subjective, what would be a current "comparable" klipsch speaker in sound quality and price to help determine replacement/replacement value (I believe they retailed in 1996 for around $1500 a pair). While I might consider diving into the used market, I am not a DIY guy, so there is a risk in buying 20-25 year old equipment in the event of repairs or upgrades. Thanks in advance!
  10. Theater room basement including ceiling and all side drywall must be replaced due to fire. System was: klf 20 fronts and rears c7 center rs-7 sides rp-500sa fronts and rears (upfired due to room configuration that prevented rear mounting) Denon AVR-X6700H Yamaha M-80 (powers front 20's Question 1. I would like to replace the 500sa's with ceiling speakers- is the pro 180 rpw the best choice? Question 2. If I replaced the rs-7's with a in-wall speaker, is the pro-250 rpw the "best" match? I know with the legends, the timbre matches are already not ideal, but trying to get the best match and hopefully will be last upgrades to system (lol)! Room is approximately 28 x 18 with some ceiling differences due to boxed in ducting and will be carpeted. P.S. I also have RS-62ii's I could use for surrounds, but if I'm not going with in-wall, sides, the RS-7's are a better "cosmetic" fit. Thanks all.
  11. Much appreciated!
  12. Klf 20 c7 rs 35 surrounds rw-12d sub All the new stuff...🙂
  13. Hello all: I recently upgraded my fronts, added rp-500sa for atmos and moved the old fronts (r-28f') to use as rears giving me a 9.1 setup. But... my room configuration is such that one of the r-28'fs is only a couple feet behind the sofa and I can't reconfigure furniture setup. Is best option to replace them with rs-62ii's or rs-7's (can get decent deal on either compared to newer models) on stands to clear couch or am I best just leaving as is? Thanks for any assistance! P.S. Can't wall mount rears either.
  14. Just received these today, one cone has small dimple and a crease. Big deal, little deal? Send it back?
