sfatula Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I have a pair of KSF-S5 surround speakers paired with my KSP-400 front speakers. I've never thought the KSF-S5 speakers sounded very loud, overwhelmed by the front speakers (to me). Soon, I will have a HT room wired for 7.1. Meaning, I either need 4 new surrounds, or, 2 new surrounds to go with the existing KSF-S5. I believe KSP-S6 will also work with the KSP-400's, should be an ok match. Not sure anything newer would though. I am wondering if the KSP-S6 surrounds are louder than the S5? Is there a newer speaker that might work well with the KSP-400s? I will never get rid of these speakers, I have always loved them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 If you search Klipsch's website under Discontinued products it'll give you all the info you'll ever need about any Klipsch speaker you're wondering about. The KSF-S5 has a sensitivity rating of 90dB, the KSP-S6 has a sensitivity rating of 94dB. That's a very noticeable difference in sound output. Your KSP-400s have a sensitivity rating of 95dB. The KSP-S6 is the exact matching surround to your KSP-400s so it will definitely sound a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfatula Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 That's a good point, thanks. Now I have to find 4 of those somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
