johnymac Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I just upgraded my power amp. Having some problems there, so moved my KLF 30's into my den. Had a set of Forte II's previously in front channel, now rear channels. In any case, what a system I have. I watched the Matrix reloaded last night and the room shock, I think the whole house shock. I have been on a spending spree and recently bought a new HT receiver, but I didn't know what I had in the house. Needless to say. I am thinking these speakers are staying in the den. My question. I have enjoyed my KLF 30's for 6 years now. I have a tube preamp Audio Research SP9 MKII with some great tubes in it. I just had $2000.00 worth of upgrade done to my power amp. I have more than enough power these days. I also have a tube cd player. I must add that I like often listen to near concert level volumes. I just can't help it, if it sounds good.... Enough of that. My question is if I look to upgrade from the KLF30s, I would like a similar speaker. Something as efficient, but with a bit more bass if possible? All suggestions sure be appreciated and "thanks" to all that reply in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 You can add a pair of SVS Ultras or go with Klipschorns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avman Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 i was very happy w/my klf-30's bass. with the addition of my RSW-15, and a VERY flexable bass management system in my receiver,my ht system sounds AWESOME! keep the klf-30's and add a serious sub-it HAS to be a really good/great sub in order to 'keep up' w/the 30's. avman.

Deang Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 That's how SVS was born. Tom V couldn't find a sub to keep up with his KLF-30s -- so he designed and built one that could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnymac Posted February 6, 2004 Author Share Posted February 6, 2004 I guess I should explain my question better. I love the KLF 30s! I have moved from my 2 channel system to my HT system. I am amazed how great they sound there. I have no need for a sub in my HT. With the 30s in the front and Forte IIs for surrounds. The room shakes. It is truly beautiful. I now need to replace the 30s in my 2 channel system. My question is what would you recommend as an upgrade to the KLF 30s there. I have never horn any of the other speakers in the Heritage line. So I have no clue. With the exception I like it to be a pair of Klispch. I listen to rock. Usually louder than I should. I have a SS amp. tube preamp and tube cd player. I have more WPC than necessary. I also use an inefficient pair of 4 ohm speakers occasionally if I listen to the real mellow stuff. Any replies sure be appreciated!!

jbsl Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I am in a similar situation. I own KLF 20s and have used them in my home theater for 2 years and love the sound. I decided to do a 2 channel and HT systems. So the 20s are going to the bedroom and I am getting new La Scalas. How big is your room and how much can you spend on speakers? Large room big budget-Khorns. Big or midsize room medium budget-La Scalas or Belles. "listen to rock. Usually louder than I should" My best friend used to dj with La Scalas and they are excellent for rock music!! Ebay almost always has all three speakers for sell. Right now there are around 5 different pairs of La Scalas. Do a search on Klipsch. Good luck and be paitient and you will find something!
