anarchist Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 I see a lot of threads touting the C7. I have the C6 as my center and KG4's as my fronts. This center sounds great but everyone refers to the C7. Why? The frequency response of the C7 is clearly inferior to the C6. Would like to know if folks who have listened to both think the C7 overcomes this deficiency. Also, I plan on buying another set of fronts and would like recommendations on the pros and cons of the KLF10's vs. the KSP400's or RP5's. I could always upgrade to a C7 and the rears are S6's. Sidenote: Speaker wire is a curious thing. I lost the one wire to the right S6. The rest of the wire is monstercable. Out of convenience, I picked up radio shacks best wire they claim is equivalent to monstercable. I now must boost the signal to that speaker by 10db or else you can't hear it over the other S6. So much for convenience. ------------------ Fronts - KG4's Center - C6 Surrounds - S6's Sub - KSW200 Powered by - YAM995 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 crash, I wouldn't pay much attention to the low end specs of the C-7 as compared to the C-6.Timbre match is the primary concern and if I had to GUESS I would think the C-7 would more closely match the KG4's than would the C-6.I have both of these centers(no KG4's) and both are very good speakers,just different. Generally,as far as center speakers go,I would say the C-7 has no deficiencies(sonically). Given a choice of the three different front speakers,I would take the KSP-400's myself.The fact that you already have the center and surrounds are icing on the cake.Will make a great HT set-up.You probably won't need your present sub. Hope this helps. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anarchist Posted December 19, 2001 Author Share Posted December 19, 2001 Thanks Keith, I may pick up a C7 just to hear it. My C6 is pretty close to the KG4's though. You can hear a difference as sounds pass across the front but it is fairly subtle and not distracting. Regarding the KSP400's, does anyone know if they are still available from any dealers or outlet store. I browse Ebay daily and have yet to see a pair show up. Anyone know a source? Oh yeah, Ebay has a set of RP5's available that show some damage to the speakers and cabinet. The price is low but the shipping costs are pretty high. I am thinking if I can get them for about #400 total, it may be worth it - throw them into another room or something. Bear in mind the woofers would likely need replacing and the cabinets refinished. What does everyone think? ------------------ Fronts - KG4's Center - C6 Surrounds - S6's Sub - KSW200 Powered by - YAM995 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedbump Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Crash, I wouldn't suggest a set of discontinued speakers with cosmetic and mechanical damage for that price. You could spend around the same amount for a new set of RP5's on Ubid if you figure in the cost of replacement parts..etc. The KSP's are pretty rare birds on Ebay. I know of a dealer in my area that has a set of the 300's and a set of the 400's, at least they did a couple of weeks ago. They have been in there forever. I'm sure they would love to sell them, but I don't know if they can ship to another dealer's area. If you want 'em bad enough it might be worth a try. Let me know if you are interested, and I'll send their number your way.

anarchist Posted December 21, 2001 Author Share Posted December 21, 2001 Hi speedbump, Hey, thanks for the info. I would certainly like to talk to them and discuss the price. Indiana isn't that big of a trip so I could always drive there to pick them up. Of course, I hear dealer, I think retail and I don't want to pay retail. Let me know if you will. Thanks. ------------------ Fronts - KG4's Center - C6 Surrounds - S6's Sub - KSW200 Powered by - YAM995 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
