37scoop Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Have reconditioned KG 4 fronts thru Crites and am using a KG 2.5 center calibrated with YPAO. Not bad but am curious about matching with newer center (all brands considered) or a Klipsch Academy Center (several available thru this forum as well as the Bay). Anyone had success matching a newer center and can recommend it? And would I appreciate an Academy over a KG 2.5? Have tried a KV-2 but liked the KG-2.5 better. Thanks.

Frzninvt Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Nothing newer is going to match sonically. The Academy is a bit more robust than the KG 2.2 or 2.5 since it has larger 8" drivers. That is the direction I would go in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusaDude Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 The KG series is going to be the best center match. If you have room, another KG4 would be perfect. The KG2.5 is your next best bet and will probably give you 95% of what you might get from an Academy... Assuming you like the way the Academy would sound between the KG4's. If you wanted to try an Academy and ended up not liking it, you're probably not going to lose any (or very little) money on resale as they're still very popular. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
