MBM135 Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 I just bought a KV-3 off of eBay looking to upgrade from my KV-2 (which I plan to sell). I don't have the new speaker yet and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. I have never been real impressed with my KV-2. Although it sounds very clear I sometimes have difficulty hearing movie dialogue--despite the fact I have my center channel boosted +6 db. It varies from movie to movie--some soundtracks are better than others but only a couple have had nice high dialogue. Connections are good--using 12 gauge wire for this channel etc. Has anyone out there in Klipsch cyberspace had experience with both of these center speakers? I am wondering if it will be worth the upgrade--but it didn't cost much so I won't sweat it either way. My Setup: Harman/Kardon AVR-110 Sony S360 DVD Player Denon DCM-370 CD Changer Sony 32 inch Trinitron Yamaha YV-1110S SVHS VCR KG4 mains SS-1 rears KV-2 center No sub yet--haven't made this plunge--KG-4s produce awesome bass so I've held out. Eventually will go KSW-12. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake2 Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 Mike - I used a KV-3 in the same setup that you have. I've never had a problem with clarity of dialogue. I was able to eardition the KV-2 and KV-3 next to each other and the KV-3 had a much clearer mid-upper range to it, which is why I bought it rather than the KV-2. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRklipsch Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 I've had both the KV-2 and the KV-3 and agree that the KV-3 is able to produce a clearer and more full sound than the KV-2. If you got a good deal on the KV-3, you'll be glad you made the upgrade. However, I do have to say that I too noticed a deficit in the overall clarity of dialog in even my KV-3 so recently sold it and bought an RC-7. All I can say is WOW!!! What a difference that RC-7 made. I could not believe what my ears were missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted October 28, 2001 Share Posted October 28, 2001 The KV2 and KV3 have the same tweeter.Bigger woofs in the KV3.Should definitely be worth the few bucks you paid. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
