Scp53 Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Does anyone know if the klpsch SB-1 and SB-3 are sonically matched? I'm thinking of using mine in a surround setup and want matching speakers for all channels.thanks for any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton10 Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Scp53, The SB-3 and SB-1 are both from the Synergy line of Klipsh loudspeakers. I believe both use the same tractrix horn tweeters, with the SB-3's using 8" woofers and the SB-1's using 5.25" woofers. The combo should make a nice home theater system, just make sure to get the SC-1 center to match! For what it is worth, I use the SB-1's in my setup as rear speakers! My fronts are all Hertitage Heresy speakers, but my space requirement prevent me from having them in the rear as well. So the SB-1's fill the bill nicely. Hope this helps, Milton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doudou Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 if you want a perfect math you can buy Five identical speakers. for the SB1 and SB3 it should match,no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scp53 Posted May 12, 2004 Author Share Posted May 12, 2004 Milton, the specs on the sb1 and sb3 tweeters are different. sb1- phenolic, sb3- aluminum dome. will this affect the speakers matching up? scp53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton10 Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 If you have the SB1 as rears and the SB3's as fronts, there should be no problem. Milton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
