This speaker is amazing and I’m going to buy one as a center channel, along with the kh 120 or kh 80d as front heights to complete my front sound stage.
KH 310A will be in the far field at ~15 ft mounted above my large screen, but I think it should work fine in that application because I’m crossing over to a 3 subwoofer bass managed array, giving me about 7db more SPL capability.
I’m debating the kh 80d vs kh 120a to use as front heights to complement the 310a center.
What would you guys advise?
The kh 80 has a slightly more perfect frequency response and and is linear phase, while the 120 has more output capability.
These will again be used farther field than intended at about 9ft (35 degrees elevation from MLP), but with the subwoofers I’ll have ~7db more headroom for both. So the question is mainly whether I’d be pushing the kh 80 to too much distortion too often.
The heights would be used most of the time as I’m enjoying Auro 3d up mixing on almost everything these days. But the levels of the heights would always be lower than the mains with upmixing. They would also be used for Atmos content, but that is a less frequent treat and high levels would be occasional and content dependent.
Thoughts on complementing with the kh 80d vs 120a for this application? Thanks!
