Strength:

I literally grew up listening to this one. At 14-15 years of age, when I first got into The Doors and Led Zeppelin, it was this receiver casting it's spell in my still developing brain. Think about it, this receiver sold for up to $600 new back in the mid-70's. Do any of you people know how much that is in today's $$!! Brighton Towing Company

Strength:

This is a 1998 model but I acquired it secondhand in 2014. It has a passable sound. The low depth of this speaker makes it simple to position in a constrained location. These speakers appear to be durable considering a surprising quantity of them are still available secondhand. Check our drywall subcontractors

Weakness:

For now none

When I took them home I only wanted to use them as rear, but I found out the speakers were better than my older speakers and I began using them as fronts. St Paul commercial truck suspension repair

Strength:

This is a 1998 model but I bought it used in 2014. It has tolerable sound. The modest depth of this speaker makes it easy to place in a limited space. These speakers seem to be durable since a fair amount of them are still available used.

Weakness:

The sound quality is mediocre. The KV-1 certainly performs better than the low-end products to which some people have compared it here but when I compared it to older NHT (Ken Kantor era) and Polk (CS-1) center channel speakers it sounded noticeably inferior with lower fidelity and a thin, midrange response. Its sound is just less lifelike than that of its competitors (other than the low-end brands mentioned in some of the reviews). Still, if one can get this speaker for very little money it will do the job.

The speaker is being used as a center speaker in my high definition home theater surround sound system. It works outstanding in comparison to other center speakers used in the past (JBL & Technics). Natural sounds without any high distorted noise even with my very old Technics receiver. I can only say Klipsch delivers again without degradation of sound. I’m watching the Wizard of Oz on my big screen 44 inch Sony TV and had to put down that this unit works just fine. Cannot wait till my Denon or Pioneer AV receiver get back from the repair shop.

I tried to post a picture of my speaker and was not able to.

This is a center channel speaker for use in home theater. It's price is reasonable at about $170 street price. The sound is good, and I find it plenty adequate for most home theater setups. It works well with my existing Klipsch speakers, but I imagine it would work well with many others. It's magnetically shielded so it can be set right on top of the TV.

Strength:

Awesome center channel speaker, price

Weakness:

none

Bought the KV-1 as a replacement for the advent center channel that I had been using. The sound clarity of my center channel improved 100%. Great sounding center channel. Price was right also (99.00 as an open box, discontinued item.) Overall I amvery happy with this speaker.
