NewbieRob Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Does anyone here use a Klipsch center with speakers from a different company for your front right and lefts? I know it is important to timber match (and know that Klipsch sound different than most other brands), but I am curious if anyone has matched with sucess. Thanks.

BluBitRates Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I highly doubt it, atleast successfully. I can see if some people are into music having nice klipsch front left and rights and then cheaper center and surrounds.I speak only for the reference line, could be entirely a different situation for heretage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jim Mixon Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I would tend to agree with BBR. If I were any sort of audiophile, I probably wouldn't be happy with mixing heritage gear with a reference center and sub; but it sounds just fine to me. I don't know about trying it with other brands. What kind of Klipsch center do you have? Marantz SR 5004 Klipshorn x 2 walnut for fronts Klipsch RC-64 cherry center Klipsch KG-1's x 2 for surrounds Klipsch RW 12 D black ash subwoofer Samsung 1600 Blu-Ray Samsung DVD-VR 325 recorder Dish 222 Dual Sat. Receiver Onyko DX-C200 5 disc CD player Sharp 42 HDTV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is important to timbre match but not because "klipsch sound different than most other brands," but because most brands have different sound characteristics from each other.

Dr. Jim Mixon Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 This is the way "timbre" was explained to me: Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion can both sing "middle C"; the same indentical frequency, the same identical note. "Timbre" is what makes Streisand sound like Streisand and Dion sound like Dion. Is that "it" in a nutshell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
