It has been awhile since I did a series up upgrades to my home theater set up. The speakers I previously used as my surround speakers are currently being used for Atmos height channels.
Right now I am not going to move the speaker placement till I get some new speaker wire and more importantly new speakers to match the speakers I already have. It is a given that the placement will need to change and I have not achieved good results from the two speakers being over my main speakers.
My system is a 7.2.4 and the brains is a Marantz SR-8012 receiver with Dolby Atmos, DTS-X and Auro 3D surround sound.
Main Speakers: Altec Lancing A-7's (15" woofers)
Center Channel: Klipsch RC-64 lll center channel (4 - 6 1/2" woofers)
Rear Channels: Klipsch RP-600M surround speakers (Each bookshelf has one 6 1/2" woofer)
Subwoofers : SVS Ultra PB16 16" subwoofer & HSU VTF-3 MK5HP 15" Subwoofer (Might just permanently get rid of the HSU.)
The speaker pulling Atmos / X / Auro duty are so old Advent Marbles that are indoor / outdoor two way speakers. Once they are replaced they may go on to be used in my bedroom system as surround speakers. I plan to stay with Klipsch as they are a better match for my Altec A-7's. My current dilemma is the size of the speaker to be used for Atmos duty.
Klipsch RP-500SA-ll (5.25" woofers)
Klipsch R-40SA (4" woofers)
Klipsch RP-600M (6.5" woofers) Identical match of my surrounds and same size woofers in my center channel!
Klipsch RP-500M (5.25" woofers)
Klipsch R50M (5.25" woofers)
Klipsch R40M (4" woofers)
Where ever I end up I will take my Atmos speakers with me and will not be leaving them with the house when it is sold later on down the road. So for me in ceiling speakers are not a good option. I would go with them if I was just going to leave them behind but I do not want to leave anything behind.
Interested in your feedback.
