I had an accident and my Klipsch KV3 Center Channel fell off my stand and is now not working correctly. I ordered a used KV3 off ebay but i have to return it because it distorts. I needs help with some recommendations for a replacement. Here is my setup.


Klipsch Epic Series 2 Mains

Klipsch KG1.5 Rears

Klipsch KV3 Center

Klipsch 10" Sub

Yamaha Receiver 110wx5

20x20 HT Room


Thanks in advance for you suggestions!

The best match to an Epic CF-2 is a KV-4. I don't know how close the current offerings will match.


What's wrong with your KV-3? Perhaps it can be fixed?

Only the Tweeter is working, it fell onto my sons play mat and dented the rear corner of the speaker (after it swung into my DLP) I will try and take out the speakers and see if there is anything noticeably wrong.


I would love to find a KV-4, i wish i would have bought that center at my time of purchase.

Could just be a loose connection on the crossover or something.

I took out both speakers and all of the wires are secure. The wires going to the crossover look fine and intact.

You may have damaged the voice coil with the drop.

If you can confirm that, you may be able to find a replacement woofer on the Klipsch forum. Maybe Bob Crites.

I got a call back from a tech a Klipsch. He ran me though some trouble shooting to narrow down my problem. After pulling out the woofers and hooking up some old car stereo speakers i found the crossover was fine. I then hooked up the woofers directly to my receiver and determined that they are bad. Now i just have to order replacements tomorrow and hopefully everything will be back to normal. Klipsch support rocks... I have had some horrible tech support recently calls and other companies should take note, Klipsch has they sh$t together.
