Would you upgrade KG4s to Forte 11's for about $200?

I'm thinking about upgrading my KG4's and I think I can do it for about $200-250 out of pocket.

 

My use is primarily home theater, and find the KG 4's satisfactory..so I am drawn to the opportunity to make a step up for not much money.

 

If I did this, would the KG4 I am using as a center channel blend well?

 

Thanks for any advice,

 

John

Haha ... No or Maybe or Yes :D  Had KG4's (in a small stereo room) and always liked them.  Upgraded to Forte I's (cost me about $400) and really was not sure if it was any better :(  Think it really depends on the room you will be using them in.

I actually did that backing the early 90s. Had KG4s got Forte II. A substantial improvement. Ultimately I sold the KG4 and got an Academy for a center. While the KG4 is a nice speaker I could live the rest of my life with only the Forte II. It does so much right I think 98% of the population could have Forte II and stop right there. In 90s money I think I sold the used KG4 for $400 and bought the Forte II for about $1,100. At a net 100 per speaker I'd vote yes.

The Forte is too good to be relegated to HT duties only.

No way, they are great for Ht,  especially if the 2 Ch speakers run circles around them. :lol:

 

 

F 3's L&R        F  2's for center and three  F2's across the back.
