zoran13 Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Well, I admit that I am a novice here but was hoping to get some advice on a few aspects of beginning to set up a decent system. I initially set out to get Klipsch speakers a month ago after many years of wanting to own them. I came across a great deal on a pair of SB.1 and an SC.1. While these were not my choice, I could not pass up $150 for the lot. I still want a pair of floor standing mains. I do not wish to spend more than $650 for them. The ones I am really interested in are the KLF10's or 20's or perhaps the KSF-3's. The KLF's are of course much harder to find and the KSF-3's are just out of my range. To that, I have been reading a lot here about others suggesting the RF-35's as well. Still, probably more than $650. Also, the Klipsch site indicates that only the KSF-1's or 2's would be "sonically" matched to the pair of SB.1's and SC.1 center that I have. A consideration ..I mainly want the speakers for music listening although my room size is not very big .. 15 X 17. I think I would like the (perceived ) better quality of the KLF's or even the KSF3 to the KSF-1/2's. I listened to the KSF's and defeinitely preferred the KSF3 to the 1 & 2. I have a Harman Kardon AVR320. Was thinking about upgrading to a NAD amp/receiver like one of their newer T-series. WIll I get better musical performance (with any of the speakers) using the NAD over the HK? Any suggestions on mains? Would the KSF-2 be a good choice given that it would integrate perfectly with my existing SB.1's and SC.1? Should I start over in the speaker dept? Any advice appreciated.

marksdad Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 i agree with the nad upgrade, but everything else is badthe sf are the minimum place to start, but once you start mixing different series than your timbre-voice will be very unbalanced, and it will be very noticable in ht, but if you insist on mixing and matching, do not be in a hurry to upgrade the receiver, because the nad will bring out all of the system weaknesses, and the sf's are no match for the other mentioned speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
