Moderators Youthman Posted January 20, 2008 Moderators Share Posted January 20, 2008 I have no idea. Maybe someone in the forum can enlighten us on their purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudkicker Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 By the way, are the KV's Magnetically Shielded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted January 21, 2008 Moderators Share Posted January 21, 2008 My assumption would be yes, it is Magnetically Shielded but I do not know that for certain. I thought you would jump on that KV-3 on Ebay. He had a buy it now for $89.00 but I see that he has bumped it up to $129.00. It is New in the Box. Can you get a KV-2 that much cheaper?

T2K Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I had a KV-2 years ago. Seems I remember my speaker, which I bought new from a dealer, having the mounting holes. Not sure though. The threaded holes are the same standard pattern/spacing as those on the rear of KG2.5's. It is magnetically shielded. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youthman, I contacted that seller and the item was indeed used. I asked for pictures but it would seem that in the meantime he increased his price and it has been sold. I don't feel too bad because it was not new in the box. The other day i won an auction for a KV-2. I paid $82.00 with shipping. Original owner and from the pictures it looks to be in good shape. I believe that its a fair price? All i have left to buy are the rears. There is a nice set of KG .5 for sale right now. However, i am not sure if i should wait for some KG 1.5 to come up for sale instead. In a different post somebody said the the KG .5 will work with what i have. Any additional thoughts on this?

Moderators Youthman Posted January 22, 2008 Moderators Share Posted January 22, 2008 My bad...I thought it was New In Box, but after re-looking at his auction, it says "Speaker in Box". I was thinking if you can get a KV-3 brand new for $90.00, that would be a steal! But I see it is definitely used and he did increase his price from $90 - $130. $82 for a KV-2 seems reasonable. I think it will serve you well with the rest of your setup. Are you using a sub in your setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Mud, are you watching Craigslist as well? I've seen the KG line frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudkicker Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 I have a KV-2 on its way to me. I am looking for a pair of KG 1.5 for the rear. If i come across a good deal on a KV-3, then this is what i am thinking. 6.1 set up Front L,R = KG 2.5 Front C = KV-3 Rear L,R = KG 1.5 Rear C = KV-2 (not sure how a center speaker will do when placed as a rear center) Does this sound like it would make good sense?

falcon20x Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 make sense to me check craigss list in Dallas, I think he dropped the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted January 23, 2008 Moderators Share Posted January 23, 2008 Yes, a center channel speaker can be used for your rear center. Some people have even mentioned that they would love to have three RC-64's for their front three speakers. I have also heard of people using 5 or 7 RF-7's. The key is having the timbre match for each speaker. Keeping the speakers in the same line that they were designed for works best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted January 23, 2008 Moderators Share Posted January 23, 2008 This KV-3 on Ebay was used as a rear center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocktiki Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Are the KV3s considerable better than the KV2? It would be used with KG 1.5 fronts . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted January 25, 2008 Moderators Share Posted January 25, 2008 I have never A/B the two speakers but with the KV-3 has 6.5 inch drivers over the 5.25 inch drivers in the KV-2, they have a lower Frequency Response plus they also have a 95db sensitivity as opposed to a 93db sensitivity which means they are more efficient and it will take less power to push them. The only problem is that if you are using the KG 1.5, Klipsch recommends using the KV-2 to match the timbre. The KV-3 matches the KG 2.5. Hope this helps.
