    KG 4.2's - HELP w/ Various OLD Equipment!!! :)

    Dear Fellow Klipsch Lovers,  Smile

    HELP !!  Recently separated in NJ!  My KG 4.2's are without a doubt, the BEST speaker my ears have ever heard!!! I have only used them in a 2 channel stereo setup.  Always with a huge Denon CLEAN receiver (1994) CD's, CD's, CD's!!  Now all the sudden, I seperate from my wife/life/dog/cat and take my clothes, golf clubs, AND MY 4.2'S!!

    My system now includes:

      1.   No   SONY Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround 100w x 5 Receiver. (1998) 
      2.   Big Smile   My KLIPSCH KG 4.2 Loudspeakers - Front L & R.  (1993) 
      3.   Time   POLK Center Channel - Dual 61/2" Drivers  **(2007)**
      4.   Time   POLK 12" 300w Powered SUBWoofer.  **(2007)**
      5.   Hmm BOSE 151 Outdoor (my old deck) Surrounds (2000) 
      6.   Smile   HD Cable Box w/ DVR (2007)
      7.   Indifferent   Sylvania DVD Player - Line In Recorder (2007) 
      8.   Idea    Upgraded Cables & Speaker wire
      9.   Movie   Mitsubishi 35" REGULAR TV (1999) 

    IT SOUNDS TERRIBLE !!!  Ick!  I feel as though the Klipsch 4.2's are totally being wasted!!  TV, DVD's, Analog, Digital....ALL WORTHLESS!!! CD's still sound FABULOUS! (stereo mode only) HELP ME PLEASE, PLEASE!! Stick out tongue I can't live like this anymore! I miss my "4.2 Babies!"  Are they being wasted as part of a "Home Theatre Surround 5.1 System??" 

    Old equipment does not help!  NO HDMI, only 1 Digital/Optical on my Sony receiver, which is hooked up to the Cable Box!!  Everything is properly hooked up, settings are correct! All speakers are set to the correct "size!" I just don't get it!!

    My name is Andrew, my Email is awblau@comcast.net I live in Delran, NJ.  I will even give my Phone # if needed! Any suggestions, help, negative or positive would be GREATLY appreciated !!  ASAP!!!!!!!!!! 

    THANKING ALL OF THE "KLIPSCH-PHILES"  IN ADVANCE!!!! 

    Sincerely,

    AWBLAU-KG4.2-NJ  -  ANDREW in NJ !!!  Broken Heart   PWK BS Button   Angry   Crying   Wilted Flower  !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!!

    No, they are not being wasted, maybe poorly matched with the Polk, and Bose speakers you are now using for center and surrounds.Have you tried changing the output levels on them? I'm sure the KG4.2's are much louder than the others, and as you turn up the volume, the worse they sound.............. Hang in there Andrew, there will be others jumping in later that  have better knowledge than me, Welcome aboard the Good-ship KAOS ....................
