Ephemeris Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 This is my first post, but I've been lurking for quite a while. This site has been a great source of info. My thanks to all of you! My HT uses a KLF-C7 center, four KLF-20s for front (R/L) and surrounds (R/L), and two RS-3s in back. I wanted to experiment with using another pair of KLF-20s in back instead of the RS-3s (this is as much for decorating as sound reasons ) Two weeks ago I saw uBid had medium oak KLF-20s up for bid. I bid $309 each and won the auction. A week goes by and it's still "in process". I send an e-mail about it and they e-mail me back saying they didn't actually have the speakers! To add insult to injury, in the intervening week, another lot of KLF-20s came and went on uBid (I don't recall the finish) and this time there was a "reserve price". And interestingly, the reserve price was greater than the $309 I "successfullly" bid. ::sigh:: Ah well, the system sounds great as is, and I get to keep the money. Meanwhile if you have a lead on a pair of medium oak KLF-20s drop me a line This message has been edited by Ephemeris on 08-30-2001 at 04:46 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 eph, sorry 'bout that ubid experience. if they come up w/ those 20s in same finish again, go after 'em. that ain't right. so which receiver u have? denon by chance? anyway, recommended by most authorities is to use wdst like your rs-3 for the side surrounds & direct like the 20s for rear surrounds/effects. so unless u want another pair of 20s for like a surround B for like music only, then u should already be set. ------------------ Klipsch KLF 30 (front), KLF C7, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub woofer Monsterbass 400 sub interconnect/Monster MCX-2 biwire & Z 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 2100 digital cable box Monster HTS1000 PowerCenter Boa's Listenin Lounge: Klipsch RF-3, RC-3 Monster MCX-1 Biwire 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 rock on!

Ephemeris Posted August 31, 2001 Author Share Posted August 31, 2001 Thanks for the sympathy and the lead to onecall.com (interesting site). BobG found me an authorized dealer who had one set left in the boxes who's willing to help me out. Thanks Bob! (That's what I call real customer service.) So, long story short, after a lot of trials and tribulations, I'm on my way to being a happy camper with six KLF-20s and KLF-C7 And yes Boa12, I'm driving it all with a Denon-3801. How'd you know???

boa12 Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 eph, congrats that should sound sweet. i'd put those rs-3 in on the sides as surround A & 20s as surround B. you could do A+B or use the rs-3 just for HT & the sur B 20s on the music modes like 7 channel stereo. lucky guess on denon but they are one of the few w/ all in one capability to power 9 speaks/6.1 or 7.1 channels. they've got it figured out. i'm lookin at their new 4802.

edster00 Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 eph, ubid has done that to me a few times, sell me something and then tell me after a "thorough" search of the warehouse there aren't any available, then end up listing more of the exact same thing a few days later. Be sure to call them and cancel your order. I have had an order show up after they told me they couldn't ship it. Good luck! ------------------ Ed W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
