Reiner Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hi all, Friend of mine sold me a portion of his system and it's been with for more than a year now: A pair of KPT-8001 cinema speakers, a center (uncertain which model), JBL sub, and a Yamaha HTR-5740. Never really minded it that much since I really bought it to help him out. Just recenetly my 2-yr-old son decided to clean my receiver and sprayed water all over it. As this was an unexpected "tragedy", got a Denon-2803 on Craigslist (for 99 bucks!) and now am starting to discover the wonderful intricacies of the new world of home theaters Anyway, the KPT-8001s are presently my fronts. I know floors should be more appropriate, and that the KPT 8001s were particularly made for surround but hopefully these would do for the meantime. Also, I am having a hard time thinking of where to place them coz they're huge for wall-mounted surround speakers. I just recently got an open-box deal for XB-10s and am using them as my surrounds instead. Quick question to you guys: the XB-10s seem to be putting out significantly less sound during videos. And for some reason, the KPT-8001s seem to have a "flat" type of sound. Are these issues because of the type of speakers or because of receiver settings? Is it absolutely necessary that the KPT-8001 be used as surrounds only and should not be used as fronts? Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Moderators dtel Posted May 4, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 4, 2010 I can't see any problems with using them as mains, you would be much better finding a center channel to match, or set your receiver to Phantom or no center than to have mismatched center. Or you can just sell them to me cheap ? [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
