Beesley Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 What center channel would you recommendation for KLF-30? Thoughts between KSF-C5 and KV-3? Budget can't swing klfc7 etc. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 KV-3...wouldn't even waste my time on the KSF-C5. You could always see if Mark could find you another KLF-C7 at a good price, he's been good at that. I still have his oiled oak one sitting here with me.

Beesley Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 If Mark could find one for $100 I'd be all over it LOL! I happen to come across either the KV-3 or KSF-c5 for around that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Patience pays off usually. The KV would be the better one of the two you've mentioned. I did find a KV-2 on eBay the other day for $70 shipped too. There was also a KLF-C7 with a sub and towers in Missouri going for $600 not too long ago. Taking the C7 and selling off the rest would have probably covered your expenses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beesley Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 That is a good strategy, could be an option. I used to own a C7 but sold it years ago--I remember it being more laid back than the klf 20s I used to own--almost out of timber with the fronts. I have kg.5 as surrounds to the klf30 and, to my ears, sound better than the s6 did. That's really what sparked interest in the kv line of center channels. As I have bob crites' mids in the 30s I'm thinking about upgrading the tweeters to Bob's titanium diaphragms--including th kv-3 if purchased. Love Bob's mids--no titanium mid swap out as no desire exists to mod crossovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckAb3 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 C-7 prices seem to vary a bit so it may be worthwhile to keep watching Ebay, Craigslist, etc., for a while. Also, whatever you get, it needs to at least be sonically close to the rest of your speakers. I had one of the KSF's as a center for my KLF-30's for a while and it was NOT good. You get more wiggle room on your surrounds than you do on your center, imo. Best of luck. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ksp-s6 were better, but still somewhat off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjptkd Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 The RC-3's are nice budget center speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Saw a KV-4 for sale recently for $300 so, they may be out there.: http://www.klipsch.com/kv-4/details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beesley Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Thanks for all the info...just committed to the kv3 for, the price was within my limited "non essential-home budget". Should be picking it up this week--will post thoughts after I spend some time with it and after I finish fixing the basement from the flooding we experienced.
