Big Dog Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hey IronSave, Did you get a chance to give Klipsch a Call? It seems to me that someone could post the information about the recommended combinations an "Timbre Match" for these speakers. Frzninvt had posted some information as well.

HudsonValleyNoah Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 When it comes to center channel speakers, only the KV-4 has the K-64-KN compression (tweeter) driver that is also in the CF-1, CF-2 and CF-3. The KV-4 is the match for those 3 models of CF mains. It will do the best job of the CF-4 also... As FrznVT said, the Kg2.2 and 2.5 are the centers for the Kg floor speakers. I THINK the KV-1, KV2 and KV-3 would be good with the smaller Kg floor speakers but not as good as the 2.2 or 2.5. One very cool note: the tweeter drivers are swappable between the KLF C7 and the KV-4 (1" screw on...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-man Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I had a KV3 and a KG 2.2v set up side by side in a variety of blind listening tests and couldn't hear the difference between the two. I'm pretty certain the KV 3 and KV 2 are timbre matched for any of the KG series speakers. Speaking from experience, my KV3 works very well with the KG 5.5 and is inexpensive to find. Try it and you will like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironsave Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 T-man, I did not call Klipsch (yet). I have been swamped with work. My KV 3 was seamless with my KG 5.2s. It sounded phenominal. My KV 4 was a bit too sharp on the mids. (But equalizers can do nice things!) My KV 4 blends really nice with the Heresies (eq'd of course). As I have said; I read through many posts here on the forum when I was looking for a "correct" center 1 year ago...... When I got my KV3; it came with KG 2.5s (2) and KG 1.5s (2). They were bought as a timbre matched set from a Klipsch dealer (original owner sold them all to me). I had the bill of sale; etc...... I guess he was given "incorrect info" as well..... I agree; that a Sticky about "which was timbre matched for what" would be beneficial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisoxpurdue Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 A list of what is timbre matched to what would be a great "sticky". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFB5 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I have KG 4.5's as well. Did you upgrade to the titianum tweeters on the 4.5's or are you running stock poly? I have the KV-3 but was considering another center. What about the RC-3, RC-35 or the RC-62. The specs from the RC-62 II seem similar.

t-man Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Keep your KV3 for those 4.5s Your other options you listed would be going in the wrong direction unless you replaced your mains with reference series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwilbur Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 So what is the best match for KG4s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFB5 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 T2K mentioned that the exponential horn on the KV-3 was "beamy." Has anyone else ever noticed that? I am not sure since I do not have another center channel speaker with a Tractix horn to compare it to.I guess I could see this being the case, but is that the case in practice? I would think for a larger width room, it may happen but for rooms that are 20 feet wide or less, I do not think that this is the case. My room is 14 ft wide so I will test that out soon. For the KG 4, I would say that the KG 2.2 may be a good match. The best would be another KG 4 if you have the room. The KG 2.5 or KV-3 may work as well.
