IDOXLR8 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I have a pair of KG-5.5 and KG-2.5 surrounds driven by a Pioneer Elite VSX-09TX and a matching Pioneer Elite Pro 60 big screen TV. I have a KG-2.2V as a center channel and I'm looking into a KLF-C7 or a Academy for a larger center stage. Has anyone matched a KG-5.5 to a KLF-C7 or a Academy as a center channel. I have a post like this on home audio forum as well, Thanks, AL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 IDO, I am sure you already know this, but the center that works with your 5.5's is the kg 2.5v. The KLF c7 might work. The Academy is strickly a Heritage line speaker for Heresys and CW's...............good Luck in your search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I'm not sure there is a 'perfect' center speaker for KG5.5's. I did use a KLF-C7 with KG5.5's and the C-7 played huge. It will not only keep up with the 5.5's but it will overshadow the 5.5's. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardP Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I set up my friend with exactly the same system, 5.5s with 2.2V center, and it sounds awfully good. Depending on your space, it might work to use a KG 4.5 on its side as a center, as it also has the same tweeter in a Tractrix horn (that is the important element to match). The only problem is that the tweeter would not be in the midpoint of the speaker when placed horizontally. Also, the KG x.5 series doesn't seem all that common on the usual used speaker sites, compared to the KG x.2 series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
