Building a center channel to match KLF series?

Recommended Posts

I have a pair of KLF30s for my FL and FR...I currently have a 52"dlp, but am going to go to a projector setup, so I will have a huge area open under the screen for a center. We all know how tough it is to find the KLF speakers, including the C7. Instead of spending 400 on a c7, if I got loose drivers from the KLF series on Ebay, would building a center make sense? Let's say I got the drivers from a KLF10...I'd have the treble horn, mid horn, and 2x10" drivers...what do I need to know about horns as far as orientation? Would I want to stack them in the middle, and put the woofers on each side? Is there any advantage to building a horizontally oriented speaker vs. just getting a KLF10 and standing it in the middle(aside from finding a single KLF speaker)

There are a couple people here with home made KLF centers, so I'll let the experts give you the details. I wanted to make the point that the KLF-10 is a 2-way speaker. 1 horn, 2x10" drivers. I don't think that would be the best match for your 30's. I would look for parts from a 20 or a 30. The KLF-10 would not be as good of a timbre match as a 20 or 30. good luck to you.

I agree with capo - however, if it is a dedicated speaker for HT with a good sub woofer, you may not be so concerned with LF extension and that would open up options for woofers to be used with the horns being matched to your existing KLF 30s.
