vman71 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I'd like to find a pair of matching surrounds for my KLF20's and KLF-C7. I know that the suggested matching surrounds are the KSP-S6. However, I can't find any used KSP-S6's for sale. I know that they have been out of production for a while now so that makes my effort even harder. I wouldn't mind buying a pair of KLF-10's but I'd rather stay with something a little smaller. This is to complete my 5.1 set-up of: Center: KLF-C7 Front L/R: KLF-20's Sub: RSW-15 Thanks!

texxas guy Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Yeah, I wanted the KSP-S6 as well to match with my KLF-20's. Couldn't ever find any. Ended up getting a good deal on Ebay on some used RS-3's. Sound great to me, but that's just my opionion. Others here will say to get another pair of 20's for the rear. Not a bad idea if you have the room and bucks I guess. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I use the RS-3 with mine and am happy. Of course the RS-7 would be slightly better. If it were me I would try and find another pair of KLF-20's Seriously, if a pair of KLF 30's go on sale in DFW I would snag them as my mains and move the 20's to surround duty.

minn_male42 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 i use RS-3's with my KLF-30's and KLF-C7 and it really sounds great...... surprisingly - it even sounds great on multichannel SACD's.... i think part of it is due to the fact that my pioneer elite 55txi has a great auto setup/level/delay/equalization program to help match all the speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vman71 Posted April 30, 2005 Author Share Posted April 30, 2005 I could easily live with KLF-10's as my rears. If I put another pair of 20's in the room (or God help me 30's), the rest of the household is going to be unhappy. How do KLF-C7's sound as rears? Is anybody currently using a pair of C7's as rears? If so, what do you think? I wonder what Klipsch tech support would tell you? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtop Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Vman, See my sig. It depends on the size of your room and it's configuration, but I found in my 15 x 26 HT room, the C7's are quite good for surround duty. I could not really hear any difference between them and the KLF-30's I had in the room before. IMO, the larger the speaker the more room it needs to "breathe". Just my two cents...

sdfan Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I'm using rb75 with my klf 20 klfc7 setup. Couldn't be happier. Finding a pair of klfc7 to use as rears proved to be too hard to find and cost prohiibitive in my case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vman71 Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 Will a pair of Klipsch KS-525thx's be good rears/surrounds for my KLF-20's & KLF-C7 up front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vman71 Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 I'm in Northern Virginia. Are the 10's and 20's in medium oak or another finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you're system would sound really good with many of the speakers mentioned. However, from my experience, you'll eventually start to notice the bright or dull spots in the sound stage. I see S6's on eBay every now and then. They are close in price to the 20's... (for good reason, too - they are worth it!). The 10's go for a lot less. If you are willing to shell out the $$ for the S6's, and you have some space in the back of your room, I would step up to the 20's. In regards to the 10's or 20's vs. the S6's (in regards to performance), I use both... I have a pair of 10's and S6's on a speaker switch so I can switch between them as surrounds. I like each for different reasons. My surrounds & seating are all tight against the back of my listening area. The S6's do a great job of filling the entire room with surround sounds. The 10's work great for more localized sound effects (better for newer movies). For example: Playing Dianna Krall on the S6's, I feel like I'm in the middle of the audience when I experience the applause. The 10's make me feel like I'm sitting on the edge of the stage Either way, you can't go wrong - as long as you keep your timbre matched!
