20's or 30's for rear


M6 Driver

Recommended Posts

So what gives? I've got 30's up front so get the 20's or 30's for the rear?

is there that much of a difference to be heard

between the two mentioned?

since I still learning please help and also in English since I'm not fluent in Hertz and Ohm!

Poor you ONLY KLF20's LOL

The KLF20's are more then anybody would EVER need,well since you have a choice here I would go with the KLF30's!WHY NOT?

Heck you may as well order a KLF30C(C for center)LOL

This should be VERY dynamic,with the right amplification this speaker setup will defeat any theater in quality and output!No bad at all.

Now poor me with the RF-5's as rears Frown.gif

Definitely go with the 30s. Direct radiating speakers are the best way to go if you have adequate room to set them up. I currently use a Denon AVR5800 and have no problems.

JTS8, the secret lies in Colabear's response, "ADEQUATE

ROOM".

After thinking about it a little more,I guess I don't really need the KSF8.5's.As I type this my elbow keeps hitting a KG5.5 that I don't need either.I'm just a girl that can't say no. :^)

JTS8 I did read many posts here before posting(reposting I would say)and I can see and hear HornEd's system here.LOL

Its nice to have a HUGE room and the space to fit all KLF30's.I would like to have so much space.

Its unfortunate I only have a 10 x 14 room!And even now its as full as an egg.I just made some space for the upcoming RF-7's!

Our room pending is 23ft by 13?ft above the garage that's one plan and the other is more in the lines of 20ft by 30ft built off the west wing so we'll go from there!

and when the time comes I plan to post the build up of the theater.

Thanks again!

While we're on the subject of the Legend speakers,I'm wondering if anyone may have ever noticed how these speakers may sometimes sound "harsh"? at loud volumes,but if you were to slowly back away from them the upper end seems to smooth out and better blend with the lows? Just wondering.

keith & friends, jmo, 1 cent, whatever, but i would call my 30s loud, but not harsh. especially w/ the smooth amps of the marantz & now the acurus 200five power amp. i think because they're so efficient (102db) they may more so reveal brightness or harshness in the amps, preamps and/or source components or material. some have said even cornwalls sound too harsh Biggrin.gif

think thats why it's so important to get the right stuff to connect to them. otherwise, guess one could always try some eq or other methods like room damping if they find them harsh.

oh & there's always the listener. i think my high freq hearing has been damped itself from all the loud concerts & home listening over the years. & there're always those personal preferences. & those can even change & adapt. cwm35.gif

guess the rule to 1st listen to 'em w/ the equipment u'll be using still applies here. Smile.gif but i chose the 30s because i like their sound including the highs. i like loud & i like slam. the 30s have that & I accept them as they are. cwm20.gif

I hear you boa.Maybe "harsh" was too harsh a word to use.What I was offering is the fact that with large speakers you need to get away from the speakers to get a more balanced sound.A few comments have been made in the past about "brightness" or "harshness" of these speakers and I was wondering if perhaps people are using them in too small a space.Otherwise they are hard to beat IMO.I wish I had a couple pair of 30's for 4-cornered stereo.I wish I had a 20'X 40' room first though.

Being the wondering type,I wonder what others opinions are regarding the posibility that some "warmth" may possibly be simple distortion.

Its been a slow day!

Keith
