punch1 Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Hello again and thanks for everyones help so far. The system is coming together and I really enjoy it. My next possible purchase will be for rear surround sound speakers. Right now I have the KG4s up front with a KV3 in the middle. I do have a set of older KG2s that are lying around and they would probaby be suitable for the rears, but there is a problem with mounting them to the ceiling. They are also quite large for surrounds and it'll be tough to make them work. What other options are out there? What would you recommend keeping in mind that my only option is to mount them on a rear wall near the ceiling or from the ceiling itself? Thanks again everyone!

Diggs Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 KG-1, 1.2 or 1.5 would work well in your application. As for wallmounting, you'll have to ask someone else, as I've never tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 I used SS-1 speakers for my rears when I had KG4s in my HT. They were mounted to the ceiling using 3" wood screws set into ceiling joists, and the keyhole mounts on the back of the speakers. Probably not endorsed by Klipsch for safety and liability reasons, but no one's been hurt by them yet DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagangjee Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 I agree with Diggs, KG 1, 1.2, or 1.5 will match with your KG 4's and would work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagangjee Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 BTW: How do you like that NAD T762? I am thinking about picking one up once the T772 come out this summer, hopefully the price of it will go down, your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punch1 Posted April 10, 2003 Author Share Posted April 10, 2003 I love the unit. NAD didn't spend money on extra DSPs and put it elsewhere in the unit. That works for me because I pretty much listen to two-channel audio and then the DTS, if available, or otherwise 5.1 DVD movies. I never was a HALL, Stadium, etc fan. So that may be a consideration for you. They do offer their EARS dsp which I like. I always liked NAD and thought they gave you pretty good bang for their buck. They had a period mabe during the mid-1990's where they had some trouble and quality control problems with some of their stuff, but I understand it has long since been corrected and they are now living up to their reputation again. Before your drop $1000 or so, check it out though if possible. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punch1 Posted April 13, 2003 Author Share Posted April 13, 2003 How were the SS-1 speakers matched up with the KG4s and KV-1? These may actually physically fit because I would have very little head room. They are in a basemnet with a relativey low suspended ceiling.

dougdrake Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 The SS-1s were fine with the KG-4. For a while, Klipsch was suggesting them as the surrounds to use with the KG-4. Not sure if the KV-1 will keep up properly or have the right tonal match with the KG-4s. I used a KV-3 and it worked great. DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punch1 Posted April 14, 2003 Author Share Posted April 14, 2003 I'm sorry, I mis-typed my current set-up. I do indeed have the KV-3 with my KG-4s and in fact you were the one who suggested it on another post. Great recommendation! They sound great!
