Jonathan Posted May 31, 2001 Share Posted May 31, 2001 I am looking for a center for my KG 5.5's / KM-6 fronts. I cant afford the KLF-C7 and the Academys are very hard to find. The suggested center for the KM-6 is the KMC which i have told myself cant be a first rate center. My plan is to use a single Klipsch speaker as my center. I know that the tweeter matching is important. What I may do is pick up a single Tangent 30 and use it as the center. However I cant find the specs on the new Klipsch site, as to the components of the Tangent 30. Im not too worried about video shielding. If anyone has some good thoughts I would appreciate it. Thanks, Jon ------------------ jk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-man Posted June 1, 2001 Share Posted June 1, 2001 This one is right up my alley! I have the KG 5.5s, and have found the ultimate solution. It's cheap, and it works! Get yourself a KG 2.2 or KG 2.5. Both are available as a dedicated center which is already shielded or just as a stereo speaker. They truly are an awesome match with the KG mains.

dbngaa Posted June 1, 2001 Share Posted June 1, 2001 i too have kg5.5's and km-6's for front and rears - i found a kt-lcr at a local klipsch dealer a while back that sounds excellent with these. of course, they don't seem to be the easiest to find... the klf-c7 has similar specs and from what i have heard the klf series is being discontinued at many dealers - might be worth a try. david Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Posted June 4, 2001 Share Posted June 4, 2001 I also have KG5.5s and am using a single KG4.2 as my center since it uses the same tweeter as my KG5.5s. The following speakers use the same tweeter: KG5.5, KG4.5, KG5.2, and KG4.2. Klipsch made the KV3 and KV2 to match our speakers, but I wanted something a little better!
