mlh Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I'm new to the world of Home Theater and it seems like many of you on this site are quite experienced. I bought some Klipsch speakers from a friend who was upgrading his system and now I would like to do the same. I have a pair of KG 4.5's as front speakers and a KV 1 for a center. I'm thinking of finding some KG 5.5's to be the fronts and using the 4.5's as rears. Also would a KLF C-7 work well with this set up or would there be a better way to go? My receiver is a Denon AVR 3801 and I also have an SVS 25-31 subwoofer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak On A Leash Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Ok, here is a few things I found about matching the KG-5.5's to a center; the Klipch site says this would be the perfect TIMBRE match for your 5.5's http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=178 And then I found this as well on a Klipsch matching site; http://www.audiocompaniet.no/matrix1.html Both of these speakers I've seen on Ebay and would probably go with the KV-3 instead of the RC-3, but the choice is obviously up to you. Hope I could help a bit. And I'm no expert, I just went off of facts listed by Klipsch themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2K Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 mlh, welcome. I would recommend the KV-3 as the better center to use with your KG4.5's or 5.5's, should you buy them. I used a KV-2 with a pair of KG5.5's for years and it worked pretty well. I later bought a KLF-C7 and while it sounded OK, the C-7 overplayed the 5.5's, and was difficult to match well with the 5.5's. Klipsch built the KV line of center speakers for the KG's. I recommend those, although there are others that you could try. Good luck to you. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a significant difference between a KV-1 and a KV-3? Also, how much should one pay for a KV-3 on Ebay? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
