Quintet System Mid-Range (or lack of)

Recommended Posts

I have a set of Quintet sattelites with the KSW-12 subwoofer. I am driving them with a Yamaha 100W x 5 receiver.

The DVD audio sounds pretty good, but the CD music audio lacks in mid-range.

I talked to a local Klipsch retailer and he suggested replacing the front right and left satellites with a pair of RF-3's.

Doug responded to this suggestion under Zargathos' topic and said that I would then want to upgrade my center chennel and eventually my two rear speakers. If I do that, my original Quintet investment is lost.

I would like to select a set of replacements for the front left and right Quintets only, that will provide the mid-range I am missing without making the rest of my system obsolete.

Any more suggestions from the audiophiles out there?

Thanks in advance.

Give the SF1's a listen, they are killer for the price!

They will solve your midrange problem.

I had a quintet setup with a KSW 10 subwoofer with similar problems connected to a Yamaha 595. I added a pair of KSF 3.1 monitors to the front running off speaker A and retained the fronts of the quintet running off speaker B.

This worked surprisingly well and filled in the sound nicely. I eventually placed the qunitet fronts directly on top of the monitors.

Good luck

Great minds Doug - or is that fools seldom differ?

You remind me of another Dougdrake that used to hang around here - but you are a cool newbie rather than a no-life, gazillion posts kind of guy, and I like that (LOL - just kidding).

Roll on the day when I have to change my name. Maxg2-the sequel, what do you think?
