Hello everyone,
First Post!!!!
I started looking at upgrading my HT system. I recently replaced the receiver and here is what I've got:
Keeping:
Dennon X1300 (80 WPC)
Velodyne Sub
Looking to upgrade:
Klipsch KSF 8.5
Polk Center Channel
Polk rear bookshelf
What I'm looking for: Mostly HT, occasional music.
You know when you go into the HT store and you hear those movies...and it just sounds amazing? I want that. I know they are probably using 20k+ of equipment....but I'd like to get 80% there?
I'll try to compartmentalize my questions:
1. I'd like to buy the same type of floor/center speakers. For both, I'd like to stay under 2k.
2. Bookshelf speakers, under 1k...preferebly less.
3. I don't think I realized the Klipsch I have were no longer made after 1999. Yikes. They certainly sound good to me, but do you guys think there will be a big difference in upgrading? Here are the specs:
FREQUENCY RESPONSE 36Hz-20kHz(+-)3dB
POWER HANDLING 75 watts maximum continuous (300 watts peak)
SENSITIVITY 94dB @ 1watt/1meter
NOMINAL IMPEDANCE 8 ohms
TWEETER K-97-KV 1" (2.54cm) Polymer dome compression driver
HIGH FREQUENCY HORN 6" square 90(o)x60(o) Tractrix(r) Horn
WOOFER K-1054-KV 8" (20.32cm) Poly cone
ENCLOSURE MATERIAL Medium density fiberboard construction (MDF)
ENCLOSURE TYPE Bass reflex via rear-mounted port
DIMENSIONS 35.75" (90.8cm) x 10.25" (26cm) x 12.5" (31.8cm)
WEIGHT 47 lbs. (21.3kg)
FINISHES Black, Rosewood vinyl
BUILT FROM 1997
BUILT UNTIL 1999
I'm thinking I will replace the floor and center first....then the rear. I have to have my system setup at lower volumes at night, and have a tile floor with a large area rug/sectional.
I'd appreciate anyone's feedback on their thoughts...thanks!
