BangoSkank46290 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) I have a RP-600C for my center channel and I am using R-41m's for my front sides. I plan to upgrade my receiver and 41m's this winter. I plan to get a 7.2 receiver and use in a 5.2.2 atmos config. I have been planning to get R-625FA's for the front and front upper and then move the 41m's to the back. But I have always loved vintage speakers and Klipsch makes some good older stuff that still sounds great, and can be repaired/upgraded to be superb. After doing some searching I can find good old KG4 or KG4.2 or KG5.2 for pretty good deals. With nice vintage big boys I could use the 41m's for elevation and keep the pretty good rear speakers I have, until I get more 41m's... Just curious on any feedback the community can offer? Also, I am electronics tech so I am not scared of some soldering etc. Edited November 12, 2022 by BangoSkank46290 typo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Welcome @BangoSkank46290 ! Think your best choice for home theater is your more modern speaker choice for the sonics match. While the KG line have been used for that purpose and still are, they are really better suited for 2 channel stereo. If so inclined anyway, and do not mind the look contrast and some timbre difference, then by all means, get some KG. Only a critic will disagree with your choice and are likely correct. What are demensions loosely of your room and ceiling? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangoSkank46290 Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Very small room with low ceilings. My system is already very excessive for my current space. I am also planning to keep the system I build for a very long time, probably longer than my current house. Room is about 12x8 with 7' ceilings. Our house is very open so it is also used for playing music throughout the kitchen etc, about 500 sq ft. I use my desktop as my main media center in the Livingroom. This system will be used to watch movies of course, but also just basic youtube etc. I listen to a lot of old music and instrumental assemblies which is why I am drawn to large cabinet monitors. A few years down the road I may hook them up to a proper stereo tube amp. My center channel and media center are Walnut so if I get old speakers of same wood it should go well enough. I have a smart home setup and part of upgrading the receiver is to roll it in to the network and use it as a main speaker. I also need the receiver to do 4k 120hz to match my LG G1 panel. Currently I am looking at the Dennon AVR-960h, the Onkyo TX-NR6100 or Yamaha TSR-700. I am seeing KG4's for about $500 on ebay and a pair of KG4.2 for like $400 which is really tempting. But recently I have seen some older Heresy auctions with the pair going under $1K including shipping. Maybe I should consider spending more since I plan to have them for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Yes those KG can be had for bargain rates. Less here in Florida. eBay can be a little rich. Sounds like you have been around the block and know what you want. Like your choices and ideas. Let know what you decide about gear. @BangoSkank46290...any questions, any time.
