gandalf Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 I'am going to buy a pair of klf30 and one klfc-7. What is the most homogeneous with this system ?

RB-3 ? klf10 (much expensive) ? thanks for your suggest... ps: sorry for my poor english Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avman Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 if you can get ksps-6's get 'em! they are one of the best surround speakers i've heard. the new reference series surrounds should sound good also. avman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEd Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 Bonjour, Gandalf! I love petanque, I love my tranquility and I love KLF 30's... as you can see below. For some time, I ran KLF 30 mains, KLF C-7 center, and three KLF 10's (side/surrounds and rear effects)... and was delighted. But when it comes to the Legend series, nothing does as well (in my experience) as six discretely fed Legends... plus a couple of KLF 10's for front effects. Klipsch WDST technology helps with the acoustic challenges of smaller rooms and popular (but outmoded) ProLogic source material. For me, however, matching tone & timbre so that a sound moving from back-to-front does not shift in character as it moves about the room... and that requires something that more closely resembles your main speakers. I haven't tried it but I wonder how C-7's might do as side surrounds and rear effects... since they do so well as a center with KLF 30's? For nearly five years I lived, studied, worked and thoroughly enjoyed "la belle vie" when "Le Grande Charles" forecast the deluge upon his demise.

gandalf Posted July 18, 2001 Author Share Posted July 18, 2001 Thanks for your comments, In fact, i will upgrade my Myryad MDP500 to 7.1 channel and for instance my room is small (5m*4m) so with klf30 and c-7 i was thinking one pair of ksps6 (very difficult to find in France) and one pair of (RB-3 or RB-5).They have the same tone (coloration) ? I will plainty enjoy my HT when i'l have a bigger room but now i have to make a choice for the back. And most important find it to read you. ps: question of price... pair of klf10 : ~1100$ pair of ksps6 ~800$ ouch !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 gandalf,the S-6's are extremely hard to find here.If I COULD find you a pair here in the USA,I would be uneasy about shipping them to you.Best if I just hand delivered them to you,and after traveling so,so,far I would probably be too tired to leave immediately.Would need to stay about a week and rest up.If you'll work on the suite for my stay and airfare(round trip of course)I'll be getting the S-6's out of my closet,uhhh, I mean I'll start looking for your new pair of S-6's. Deal???? Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEd Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 Gee, T-T-K, I've heard of "extending" Southern hospitality... but never that far... or reversing the charges! HornEd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWMIN Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 I've seen reference from Klipsch suggesting that the new RS 7 surrounds are superior to the S6's for rears with the Legends even though the S6's are great speakers. I have 30's front and KSF S5's A.rear and also KLF 10's B.rear. I agree with HornEd, More Legends are the best.

gandalf Posted July 19, 2001 Author Share Posted July 19, 2001 T-T-K it-s a joke isnt it ?? I mean Alabama is far from Paris :-) I can find probably S6 in Belgium. Is it ok to mix s6 and rb or better take only Legend serie s6 and klf10 ? The difference in term of qualite/price is better for wich association ? I notice several technical points : surround bookshelf RB-5 96dB 48-20kHz 150W RB-3 94dB 52-20kHz 100W KLF10 98dB 32-20kHz 150W rears dipoles RS-3 95dB 49-20kHz 110W RS-7 98dB 49-20kHz 150W KSP-S6 94dB 60-20kHz 150W i'll receive my klf30 + c7 next sunday ... keen sunday ! read you soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 Sí gandalf, era un chiste. tengo miedo para volar. Tan lejos como los oradores de sorround van, serían una cuestión de la preferencia personal y el espacio disponible en su habitación. El KLF10's sería agradable si usted tiene la habitación para ese orador del tamaño. El RS-7's o S-6's trabajarían agradablemente también. buena suerte a usted con su elección y Y' todo viene.

T2K Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 gandalf,yes I was kidding.Do you have the necessary room for the larger speakers,or do you want smaller/wallmount speakers for surround use? Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandalf Posted July 19, 2001 Author Share Posted July 19, 2001 My room isn't big to much to take large surround and i am living in appartement not a quite house( at the 4th floor ) so with the klf30 it's enought for the 'voisinage' what do you think about 4 ksps6 (if i could find it !!) ? good night... time to sleep for me. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 Gandalf, qu'être ma préférence personnelle, si vous pourriez trouver them(S6).Klipsch recommande le feuilleton de Référence entoure est a utilisé avec les Légendes, mais beaucoup de gens avec les Légendes préfèrent le S-6's.Your choix ami.bon chance.

dhayduk Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 I've got a similar situation: I'm trying to (quickly) get my hands on a system with KLF-30s for the fronts, KLF-C7 for center, and can't decide on KLF-10 or RF-3 for the rears. I'm thinking the KLF10 should be a better match for the fronts, yes? And I don't think I can use a more typical rear speaker, because side-wall mounting isn't practical. I expect to mount/place the rears behind the listener, in the corners of the room, toed in... Thanks, Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 darren, that's how i have my cornwalls on the rear short wall & it works excellent. i set the rears:large to get those 15"s working for some rear directional bass. had the cornwalls 1st though & they won't work in the front of the room. so the only direct rear towers better for u than the 10s would be the 20s or 30s. i'd get the 30s - should be some good closeout prices on all of em right now. ------------------ Klipsch KLF 30 (front), KLF C-7, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub woofer Monsterbass 400 sub interconnect & Monster CX-2 biwire & Z-12 cable Marantz SR-8000 receiver Sony DVP-C650D 5-disk cd/dvd player Sony Trinitron 27" stereo tv Toshiba hi-fi stereo vcr Technics dual cassette deck Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box Boa's Listenin Lounge: Klipsch RF-3 (front), RC-3, cheap little Technics (rear) Monster MCX Biwires Sony STR-DE935 a/v receiver Kenwood KR-9600 AM/FM stereo receiver (vintage 1975) Russound AB-2 receiver switch to RF-3 Teac PD-D1200 5-disk cd changer Technics SL-1950 turntable/AT LS500 cartridge Sega Genesis game player Sub: None yet rock on!

gandalf Posted July 20, 2001 Author Share Posted July 20, 2001 Well, i've thinking my future Klipsch configuration all night long ... and i notice another problem : i will upgrade to 6.1dts and 7.1dd for my mdp500 so what choice for back(surround) effect ? Ok to choose ksps6 for rears but i read on forum that rs7+rb3/rb5 is the best choice ksps6 and rb3/rb5 shoud be ok too ?? my system: sony1271 with pcht (dsub15-5bnc mogami) and optical cable to preamp Myryad mdp500.

htxpert Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 Hi Gang My vote would be for the New RS-7 They might not be a perfect timber match for a very well trained ear (mine excluded) but the gain in absolute performance is well worth the perceived minimal timber missmatch to the Legend Series KSPS-6 vs RS-7 no contest RS-7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
