ccdowenye Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Hi all! Long time Lurker, just made my first post today...this is number two! What a great site with tons of great info. So having said that...I recently purchased a KV2 center speaker, in mint condition for $50. It sounds good, but not great. For grins and giggles I contacted Mr Crites and purchased a Titanium Tweeter diaphragm, which I plan on putting in this week. He has a new crossover that I could purchase for this speaker as well. My question to you all is.....has anyone else modded their KV2? I realize there are many centers made by Klipsch that are considered much better. But since I have it, I thought I would go ahead and "hot rod" it. Has anyone else done this and if so what are your thoughts? All thoughts are appreciated. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tremors Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Welcome to the forum! I wouldn't ever do that, unless I had the parts already on hand and was simply looking for a project. Reason: Any monies put into that would be better spent put towards the purchase of a more capable center.

twk123 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 From what I have heard, the Crites titanium tweeters are the best bang for the buck. I dont think new crossovers are going to do much for you unless your stock ones are worn out. As tremoms mentioned, you are better off spending the money on a better center. If you really want to go big down the road and you can find a single KG, KLF etc. floor speaker you can take it apart, put it on its side and put a new mdf panel on the front with the tweeter in the middle of the two woofers. Here is a link to a thread in which a member posted some pics of one he did, its pretty boss: https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/152146-custom-kg-55-center/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccdowenye Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Thanks for the warm welcome. I hear you guys, there are way better centers and I will keep my eyes open for one. I decided since I already have the Titanium tweeter, I will go ahead and install it and see how that works out and live with it for awhile. I am sure you both are right in that I won't ultimately be satisfied and will want to find a center to match my Heresys. I will post my thoughts on the upgrade as soon as I install it. Since I am have size and space limitations, what are your thoughts for a good center, with close to the the same dimensions? I have read good things about the KLF C5-7 and the Academy? Thank you!!
