Davec Posted July 9, 2001 Share Posted July 9, 2001 I am purchasing Klipsh speakers and could use some advice. Got a good deal on the KLF 20's for the fronts, planned to add the KLF C7 Center Speaker and the KSW 12 subwoofer. Would you recommend the KLF 10's (which I can get for $595) for the rear or the RS 3's? I have a good amount of space, so that is not issue... prefer not to spend more than $600 for the rears. Appreciate any advice on this and if balance of system looks ok. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEd Posted July 9, 2001 Share Posted July 9, 2001 Davec, I used three KLF 10's for side/surrounds and rear effects in conjunction with KLF 30's. I also tried the Ref3's but the KLF 10's proved far superior. I was so impressed that I upgraded them to KLF 30's and put the pair of 10's to work as Front Effects speakers. If you can, I would upgrade the KSW-12 to a KSW-15... I did and it really made a difference... because I could set the KLF's to "SMALL" and the sub was robust enough to do its bottom feeding. The KLF's then were free to make nicer above 90 Hz. Legends need room, particularly on the side/surrounds and for rear effects. A little distance and the nature of the sound track tends to take care of the "suround sound" issues... and they are WAY better on discrete 5.1 and above. Then again, maybe you could find away to put KLF 20's all around... they are a fine, fine discontinued speaker. Good luck. HornEd ------------------ "Where Legends Live!

a/c Posted July 9, 2001 Share Posted July 9, 2001 Hey Davec, I would get the 10's. 1)they are discontinued. 2)with both sacd & dvd-audio, you'll have great timbre 3)you can pick up the rs-3's later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davec Posted July 9, 2001 Author Share Posted July 9, 2001 Thanks for the feedback. When I was going to get the KLF10's, I was advised that the RS3's provided better "ambiance" (and that was what you wanted versus better "direct" sound in surround speakers. Sounds like the KLF10's or 20's might be the way to go though based on your comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyeyes Posted July 10, 2001 Share Posted July 10, 2001 Davec, Where are you getting your KLF-10s from for 600.00? I'm looking at passing on the RS-7s and going with some 10s or 20s for the rears since I have the space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake2 Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Somebody told me they saw KLF-10s at the Price Club/Costco in San Diego for about $240 each!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
