    Upgraded my system

    Had been running KLF-20's as mains for several years with a pair of Polk Monitor 70's as surrounds.  This past weekend I obtained a pair of KLF-30's to serve as mains and moved the KLF-20's to surround duty.  Really sounds nice. Didn't realize the bass was so full on the 30's.  Didn't recall that when I was demo-ing my 20's years ago. 

    Anyway - with a full complement of timbre matched speakers, I must say it is a truly enjoyable experience.

    Here's to all the Legend Heads out there.Cool

    My best friend has KLF-30s and they are super speakers. Enjoy!

    Never had a chance to hear any of the KLF's but from what reviews I had read your setup shoud sound really good.

    Glad you found some 30's. Yes

    Thanks. Cool

    Saxaphone on CD's just sparkles!!  I'm sure I have not even touched on the potential of these KLF's and am a long way from understanding the benefits of Crites components, bi-amp, pre amp, or extra watts per channel power. However - I just marvel at how wonderful the music is.   Jazz (Mindy Abair, Brian Culbertson), Country (Smoke rings in the Dark - Gary Allan, Chris Isaacs, Dwight Yokam, Vince Gill), New Age guitarists (Govi, Chris Spheris, Jesse Cook), and  Contemporary international (Clannad) are a delight to hear on this system.

    Next up for trial is a couple of DVD's to get the juices flowing...maybe Dark Night Cool ...still running a very old 32" tube Sony Wega that is heavier than the speakers...
