Goon Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Would a KV-3 center work with Epic CF-3s? KV-4s are near impossible to find, but I found a KV-3 that I may be able to buy. Anyone ever tried it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 A KV-3 would work fine with the CF-3's. I was using a KLF-C7 with my CF-2's and although not perfect, it was a good match as well...

Malcolm Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Gee, I have to differ with Mike on this one. If Klipsch recommends the KV-4 for a center channel, I think you may be disappointed with a KV-3. The KV-1, KV-2 and KV-3 are pretty much a family with similar timbre, just differences in low end and efficiency. But the KV-4 is really a different beast. Besides bigger woofers and higher efficiency, it has a different tweeter than the others. I had a KV-3 for a while with my Heresys. It was a good speaker, but not a good timbre match for the Heresys. I've heard a KV-4 with Heritage line speakers and its a better timbre match. My guess is the the same will apply to the CF-3s. A KLF-C7 might be a better choice. Its closer to a KV-4 than a KV-3 is. And, they are readily available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Malcolm, To be honest with you, I've never heard either of the KV center channels. I just assumed it would be OK because of being in the same line. I stand corrected... Mike ------------------ My Music Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted December 13, 2001 Author Share Posted December 13, 2001 Thanks for your help guys. I called Klipsch and asked them for some advice as well. I've got a KLF-C7 on the way from uBid. Can't wait till it gets here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Your KLF-C7 should sound pretty good with your CF-3's. I know mine did with my CF-2's. Let us know how you like them... Mike ------------------ My Music Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
