InFlux Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Let us know how it's sounds once you get it all setup. +1. I failed to mention that I have a very similar setup - and I refuse to make any changes. I love it. The subtle differences are that I have KSP-S6's in back & dual LF-10 sub's in the front.

Islander Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Nice outfit, Montigue! It should give you lots of listening pleasure. No need to feel that you got a bargain at someone else's expense. The seller needed the money more than the speakers at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Sure no doubt remaining but...this should reinforce bargain idea....: http://pensacola.craigslist.org/ele/556861498.html Live and enjoy!!! One never totally knows all reasons' for a sale! Live And Let Die! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montigue231 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 wow ill tell you. I have a mixed feeling after reading the replys here. I feel a great deal of accomplishment It looks like i found an amazing bargain.. I guess 700 bucks would usually pay for the set of KLF 20's standing alone. I also have a bit of worry and anxiety, I hope noone comes banging at my door demanding his gear back..You guys dont really think i need to watch my back do i? Pls guys lets keep it on the downLOW I agree with billybob ! live and let die.. things will fall as they may. All you can do is be there to pick up the pieces. PS I wish I knew where I could find the next bitter divorce sell off.. A guy could make a livin off this !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted January 31, 2008 Moderators Share Posted January 31, 2008 I wouldn't worry about someone banging on the door except the police for a noise complaint ! If anyone ever says anything tell them go talk to the lady I bought them from, they were for sale, if it wasn't you it would have been the next person ! Have fun [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arky Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 $1500 will buy a 50" plasma if that interests you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbuckster Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Arky is right, You can get quite a nice TV today for $1,500 ........... Panasonics true HD for under that price .... so many choices, makes me wish I hadn't bought two years ago, but That's Life .............. Hook-up that system, worry about the TV later ............

Kynergy Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Monique, throw away your cell phone or change the number but don't give it out the new number. I was caught by police. I stole the speakers and she helped selling them and now she told everything to police. [8o|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjcruiser Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Another vote for a flat panel as RPTVs are being phased out, IMHO. Besides the KLFs are not shielded so it's not really ideal if you have a tight space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montigue231 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Just a follow up here for those who was interested... I decided to go with a 57" rear projection tv just serviced from a local tv repair shop BECAUSE... I want a tleast a 55" 1080i screen but only had a budget of 1 grand... No matter how hard I looked ..any plasma LCD or DLP for that size was 1500 plus tax...So i found this Sony 1080i that had just had the bulb replaced and fully maintanenced for $800 out the door...So you can say its refurbished .......It has a beautiful picture. (i ll keep it for two years until the 55 inch plasmas come down to 1100 or so, then sell the sony for 500 bucks or something) Following up on the KSF-S6's I was asked about earlier.My opinion is they are too small for my system..Im finding that I have to turn down the volume levels on the front sound stage to hear them..Other than that the timbre matchingt sounds awesome..plays fantastic on dolby digital..Its nice to have a big center speaker..Really opens up the movie your watching..One more note: The KSW is great for music but dosent give u the devostating impact on HT..Overall id say its still a great value performance vs price. The KLF'S are amazing in two channel pure direct. Was playing some reggae and oh wow can u feel that bass going threw you ever so clearly..the KLF's are simply AMAZING! Thanks for those who responded here and gave there inputs. TY!...heres a sweet pic of it all set up : ^D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InFlux Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Nice! You mentioned KSF-S6's in your message, but your sig says KSP-S6's. Which are you currently running? My KSP-S6's can keep up just fine with my mains & center - of course the KSP-S6's are 2x the size of the KSF-S6's. The KSP-S6's are timbre matched perfectly as well. Again, nice!

Moderators dtel Posted February 4, 2008 Moderators Share Posted February 4, 2008 Did you set all the volumes in the receiver using the test tones ? If not get a radio shack spl meter $30 and use the test tones the receiver puts out. Set the meter where you sit and play the test tones and adjust each one to the same volume. It makes a big difference, it may be why you can't hear the back too well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montigue231 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 thanks for catching that typo Influx..Corrected now. 1st thing I need to do is upgrade to the KSP S6's and second get a SPL meter. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montigue231 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 question for you Influx, My KSF's are right next to my sitting postion just two feet up on speaker stands, as ive got no room behind the couch. Is it possible the KSP's will be too big being so close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InFlux Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 question for you Influx, My KSF's are right next to my sitting postion just two feet up on speaker stands, as ive got no room behind the couch. Is it possible the KSP's will be too big being so close? So, the speakers are about the same width apart as your KLF-20's, but on either side of your sitting position? Ideally, you would want to pull the sitting position forward a bit, but that is not necessarily feasible. In my old house, I actually had my KSP-S6's setup as you described (but about 3' up). I ended up pulling them forward (towards the KLF-20's) a bit so the sound could bounce off the back wall & improve the rear sound stage. Now, in my current house, I actually kept the S6's on the sides, but now I have several feet behind the S6's - so they can work as intended & really fill up the back of the room. So, my long-winded answer is that I think you can make it work. Considering that your only other choices for timbre-matched surrounds are another pair of KLF-10/20/30's, a pair of KSP-S6's, or finding a pair of KLF-C7's - I feel that the S6's are your best bet. Interestingly enough, I did run some KLF-10's in the back for a while at my old house & they were too localized at close range for my taste. You may find it a bit challenging (and spendy) to find a pair of KSP-S6's. They are out there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
