cluless Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 I have a pair of klipsch kg4s which I love but am thinking of moving up to home theater. My system will still be primarily used for music (rock/punk) so I don't want to make sacrifices in that regard. I have just started looking, and I'm really overwhelmed. I need suggestions on compatible speakers for center/surround and a good quality surround sound receiver. (budget 1-3k) Thanks This message has been edited by cluless on 02-22-2002 at 02:07 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake2 Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 Another KG4 fan heard from (have a pair - luv 'em!)... First, go buy the KV-3 center channel that's on Ebay right now or in the used section at http://www.saturdayaudio.com/usedgear.htm#Speakers or possibly from others on the board that might be selling one... The KV-3 is the designated center for KG4s. Then, search in the Home Theater forum further up the page using KG4 as a keyword for the past 30 days or so and I think you'll pull up a couple of threads on just this topic. There are a couple of schools of thought on rear speakers (direct versus wide-dispersion speakers) and I think it was discussed recently.

jhawk92 Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 Cluless- I may have a KV-3 for you if you are interested. It is under negotiation right now, but if it doesn't go through, I'd be happy to let it go to someone on the boards. Doug is correct, the KV-3 was made for the KG series. It served me well with my Forte IIs for nearly 8 years before I upgraded. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckears Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 Clueless, Here's what I'd do: Move the kg4's to surrounds, find some used Chorus or Fortes for mains, KLF-C7 or Academy for center, subwoofer (many here are fond of SVS, I have enjoyed my Hsu 1220 for several months now), tie it all into the AV Receiver of your choice (Denon and Outlaw seem to come highly recommended here), using some quality interconnects and cable (don't even try to feel out the Forum on THAT one...), and roughly 3k later, you're all set (for a year or two ) ------------------ Klipsch Fortes, Oiled Oak Klipsch KLF-C7 Center Channel McCormack DNA-1 Power Amp McCormack TLC Pre-Amp Sony 5-disc changer NHT SA3 Subwoofer Amp Hsu TN1220 Subwoofer Old Akai cassette Deck Akai AAR22 used as tuner Nordost Solar Wind interconnects Kimber 4TC Speaker Cable (Future upgrades to include): Klipsch RS-3 Surrounds Outlaw 1050 AV Receiver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluless Posted February 25, 2002 Author Share Posted February 25, 2002 Thanks for the info. The speaker on E-bay looks iffy, and I tried to call the Saturday Audio place and got no answer. Rob, please let me know if your deal falls through or if you guys have any other leads. Thanks Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
