Synergy vs. Reference

[Andrew Beck]

I have a quick question.

Right now my system consists of KSB 2.1's as the mains, KSB 1.1's in the rear KSC-1 and the KSW-12. I would like to add the the two center rears. I would also like to upgrade to the KRB-3. Would the KRB-3 timbre match with the KSC-1 acceptebly, allowing me to move the KSB 2.1's to the rear and the KSB 1.1's to the center rear... or would I need to purchase the KRC-1 as well?

Thanx

Andrew

Either no one knows or no one cares.

Andrew, the Rb-3's will not match the ksc-c1 very well. I currtenly have the rf-3'c and the ksc-c1 center and it cant keep up and the fronts overpower the center. I am tring to sell it. If you look clostly on the internet you can get a rc-3 for 219.00.

Why not just stick with Synergy line. I have Sf-2 mains, SS-1 rears and SC-1 center with KSW-15 Sub. I think there awesome for the money .

by the way what receiver are you using to power your system ?

[Andrew Beck]

I power my system with an outlaw 1050.

the reason I don't stick with the synergy line is that I don't think the newest synergy speakers will mate any better with older synergy speakers. and i want to add a rear center channel. the thought being i rotate my fronts to the rear and my rears to the center rear and then buy new fronts. I like the idea of the RB-3's for fronts of course I could stay with the SB-1's they might mate better with my old center... however I would prefer to upgrade to RB-3's and upgrade the center to a RC-3 later down the road.
