jagangjee Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 I am having a difficult time determining what center channel to get to match up with my KG-4's (main) and KG 1.2's (rear). I have heard many different answers given that there is no "perfect match" which is true. However I am leaning towards something in the KV series, just unsure whether to go with the 2,3,or 4? Any other recommendations beside the KV series? Any thoughts or experiences? Also I will be looking to add a sub woofer, does that make as much of a difference as to what kind to buy as a center does? If so what kind should I be looking for. Any help is greatly appreciated. TIA, jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 jag - My first HT rig used KG4s. You want the KV-3 center channel. The KV-4 was designed for the Epic Series and is not a good match for the KG4s. The KV-2 will suffice, but the KV-3 is better. The sub you get does not depend on the center channel. While the KG4s produce lots of nice bass, you'll want a sub to really bring the slam home. I started with a 10" JBL (which I barely noticed over the KG4s), then a Velodyne CT-120, and now a SVS 20-39PCi. Love my KG4s! DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfalls Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 I agree the KV-3 is the best center for the Kg4s. I tried the KLF-C7 thinking the 8" woofers would provide the best match for the 8" Kg4 woofers, but it didn't blend well. It always sounded like the sound was going over my head. I had sold my KV-3, but found another on ebay at a very reasonable price. I set up a friend with Kg4/KV-2 combination, but the KV-3 is a better match. Hope this helps.

Diggs Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 See below. But, try and get a better sub than I did. You'll need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagangjee Posted January 16, 2003 Author Share Posted January 16, 2003 Thanks for all the advice. I ended up getting a KV-3 off a guy from ebay. Should arrive today, hopefully it is as impressive as everyones else thinks. Thanks again, jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 Please let us know how it works out. I had a KV-3 to go with my KG5.5s, but I always felt it couldn't quite keep up. So I am building my own center speaker (hey, I really am...the MDF was delivered today) using a tweeter, the K-85-K, that is exactly the same as the one in a KG5.5. That is how to get the best possible match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_ranting Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I was very impressed with my KG 4s when i got them. However when i added another amp and a set of a kg 2.5 to go all with them as an additional main left and right channle, it really made a night and day improvement. KG 4 are awsome power hungry speakers that lake a certian subelty that the power handely and fullness that the 2.5s bring to the room. the reason i mention this is when choosing a center acually think about complementing the 4s. i am wanting to grave a kv 3 myself but i would recoment a set of 1.5s or 2.5s up front for anyone with a set of KG 4s. My Taste in listening is differnt than many people, But you have the oppertunity to test a pair of 2.5s or 1.5 with your KG 4s you will not be displeased and could help you solve the delema of witch center to buy. I love stl's custom built center and bang for your buck i think would be the way to go but a KV 3 im going to give a shot becuase a friend of mines father ownes one. just dont buy anything polk. any Klipsch speaker would due better. KG-4, KG2.5 main l/r two HK avr 520's Bose 701s Rear Surround Sound Polk Audio LSi C Center Two KSW-12 Kilpsch Subs to the inside of each kg 4 polk 8 inch sub to help the bose out in the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
