Your Klipsch dealer can advise and consult on other combinations that will be well-matched,
though the above system was designed and tested by Klipsch Engineering for the ultimate in home
theater performance.
The demands of the latest source materials, such as six-channel motion picture sound and multi-
channel music recordings, have made matched speaker systems of paramount importance. To duplicate
all the effects movie directors and sound engineers have built into today’s films, you need faithful
reproduction of the original signals, precise directional information and accurate dynamic expression.
Klipsch design specifies that each of its speakers meet these criteria.
Klipsch Legend Series Towers
The KLF 20 and KLF 30 towers are three-way designs using two distinct horn-loaded compression
drivers, one for high frequencies and another for midrange frequencies. By optimizing each horn for
the frequency range desired, Klipsch has achieved remarkable performance across a wide bandwidth.
The new 90°x 60° Tractrix
®
Horn is mated to a 1.5" diameter compression driver for unparalleled
dynamics, sensitivity and power handling. An exponential horn with a tighter 90ºx 40º coverage
pattern is used for frequencies above 7000 Hz and is connected to a high performance 1" compres-
sion driver.
The KLF 10 towers and KLF-C7 center channel utilize the same 90ºx 60º Tractrix Horn design for
even, controlled and consistent coverage of the mid and high frequencies in a two-way configuration.
These models also use the high performance 1" compression driver for dynamic and detailed presen-
tation.
All KLF series speakers use dual bass drivers that incorporate large, powerful magnet structures for
high output. A proprietary mix of carbon graphite, polypropylene and Santoprene
®
result in an injec-
tion-molded cone that is rigid, light and well damped.
PLACEMENT OF THE LEGEND KLF TOWERS
Both speakers should be placed on the same wall of the room facing the listening area. Space the
loudspeakers so they are between six and 15 feet apart. In a home theater system, some correlation
between the size of the video image and the sonic image may dictate final placement of the speakers. For
a higher quality stereo image, angle, or toe in, the speakers toward the listener. Some additional bass
will result if you place the speakers in a corner or near a wall: This provides greater bass coupling
due to the additional reflected energy from the walls and floor. Room acoustics vary, so experiment
with specific placement within the room.
Installation of KLF 20 and KLF 30 Spike Feet
The larger KLF models have four threaded inserts, covered with a soft vinyl cap, on the bottom of
the cabinet. If the speaker will be used on a hard surface, these caps should be left in place to provide
a non-skid surface. Also included in the carton are four spike feet. The spike feet will enhance the
performance of your KLF series loudspeaker by concentrating the weight of the speaker on the
spikes, improving the mechanical connection to the floor (especially on carpet). This improves the
definition, clarity and detail of the speaker by channeling cabinet vibration into the floor. The spikes
are intended for use on carpet, but may also be used on hardwood, vinyl or tile floors. Be advised
that they will scratch or mar the floor’s surface. In either case, final positioning of the speaker should
be determined before the spikes are installed. Mark the speaker’s location on the floor with masking
tape, install the spikes and reposition in the desired location.
