redtop Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Rich, Here is a pic of my "hornEd-ized" KLF-30. Please excuse the picture orientation. It is currently in storage while I finish my theater room. It is a perfect voice match my left and right mains. IMO, this is the ideal setup. Identical speakers across the front. Next best would be a KLF-20 then KLF-10's, and finally C7's. Cabinet size does matter to your sound stage. I am speaking here of sonic considerations only. I'm not taking into account your mounting options and room size. Make sure you also consider that if you are using a standard CRT TV you will have to video shield a KLF-30, 20 or 10 with bucking magnets. Hope this helps.

rich0372 Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 If I use bucking magnets I will be able to put on top of my tv also to modify the klf10 I would take out the woofers and horn then remove the panel they are on and use it to size the new panel what material did you use was it 3/4" MDF Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtop Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 3/4" MDF. Right off the shelf at Home Depot. The trickest part is cutting out the holes for the woofers. I used a router and a circular jig, but a steady hand on a jigsaw will work as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 So which speakers are which? I would think the KLF-30s would be your front mains and the KLF-20s would be your rears. I don't see much advantage is going from a KLF-C7 to a KLF-10 since the 10 doesn't use the same horns as your 30s. If you cannot find a 30 (or 20 since they share the same horns) to modify, then I'd just stick with the C7. BTW, you're using just one C7 for your front center, right?

rich0372 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 yeah one c7 for the front and one for the back so you think the klf10 would not be an upgrade from the c7 OK thanks for the reply Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I honestly don't think using a KLF-10 would get you much -- if anything. The most important part of having matching speakers comes down to the horns. Note your 20s and 30s use a midrange horn as well as a tweeter horn. Looking at the 10s you'll see they only use one horn -- just like the C7s. So if you really want an upgrade you at least need to use a 20, or for the best match use a 30.
