Whitey81 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I just won a pair of f-2's on eBay. Was curious if b-2's or s-2's would sound better. Also looking at new center channel. Have seen c-3 on sale for 180 making it cheaper than c-2. I'm worried about it overpowering everything else though. Any thoughts would be nice. Oh going to be powered with HK 354.

wuzzzer Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Welcome to the forums and congratulations on your new Klipsch! If you're debating between B-2s and S-2s for surrounds, it depends on what you listen to most. If you're mainly into movies the S-2s would get my vote, if you listen to a lot of music and watch a lot of music concerts I'd go with the B-2s. Technically the C-2 would be the match to your other speakers but the C-3 would be excellent and would allow you to upgrade to the 3 series for your other speakers if you ever chose to. Receivers are set up to level match your speakers to they all have equal volume outputs so don't worry about the C-3 overpowering your other speakers.

Whitey81 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Thanks. I would say movie/music split 60/40. I think I'm going to with the b-2's. I have a pair for much cheaper than s-2's. Does anyone know why the b-3's and s-3's are on sale everywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey81 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 I have a question about my receiver. The f-2's have two sets of binding posts. I was wondering if I could hook them up as front speakers for 5.1 and since the receiver is multi-zone hook up the other two channels to the other posts. Then I could use them as 5.1 with movies and them by themselves for music. Is there something I am missing or should that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 No, that's not what the separate inputs are for. They are for bi-amping/bi-wiring. If you want to use them by themselves for music just run your receiver in stereo mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
