    Building a home theater questions

    Ah, I'm in Jupiter on the east coast. Anyway, when we have multiple row theaters we generally like to use Bipole surrounds. We can cover two rows fairly easily with these. See below: https://www.triadspeakers.com/products/home-cinema/iw-silver4-surround/

    In-wall vs standalone Subwoofer & in-wall vs standalone speakers

    It may not be super easy to find a Triad dealer with speakers to audition. When Control4 bought Triad they added a ton of new dealers who are unfamiliar with the brand and most don't have any speakers to audition. Dave is right, if you have a chance to listen at someone's home then that would...

    In-wall vs standalone Subwoofer & in-wall vs standalone speakers

    It's not necessarily true that in-wall speakers are inferior to in-room speakers. If an in-wall is designed correctly it can sound just as good as an in-room model. For example, Triad speakers within a series (Bronze, Silver, Gold etc) are designed to sound the same -- cabinet characteristics...

    Separates or not ? Emotiva ,Cambridge , Anthem

    The first thing to look at is the room size (WHD). From that we can suggest speakers and then the electronics. If you have a floorplan with seating it would be very helpful. It can be hand-drawn. Also, what is your speaker budget? Are you going with 7 speakers, subs and Atmos?

    New Marantz AVR - speaker Buzz

    The first thing I would check is the cable line. Disconnect the coaxial cable from your cable box and see if that solves the problem. If it does there's an easy fix.

    Floor Standing Speakers in a Wall or In-Walls

    If you are looking at InWall speakers then Triad should be on your short list. Triad is a Portland-based company that hand builds speakers in just about every configuration you can imagine. They will even color match the speakers and grills to match the paint on your walls -- for free. Triad...

    Are my speakers too old?

    No. Speakers have not changed perceptibly since then.

    New home..setting up theater room

    You can't have any front or surround speakers in the ceiling with Atmos. Those "listener level" channels need to be at ear height for the best Atmos performance. How far is your seating from the back wall? Can you relocate your ceiling surrounds to ear height?

    10 x 12 is pretty small. Can you give us a drawing of the room with seating?

    Suggestion for In wall/In Ceiling for new home

    Take a look at Triad speakers. They have a number of InCeiling and inWall speakers to choose from and they will paint the grills to match your walls and ceilings. Great company and a favorite of custom installers. www.triadspeakers.com

    Question on an Atmos layout

    You are correct. You cannot have both "speaker level" and Atmos channels in the ceiling. Because of the lack of walls in your space you are better off foregoing Atmos and concentrating on 7.1 or 5.1. You can easily install surround channels in the ceiling. What are your room dimensions (WDH)...

    In-Ceiling Speakers - Bother the Neighbors?

    Hi Darren, I seriously doubt there will be vibrations that can be felt through the walls with standard speakers. Subwoofers are another story. Google is your friend. :-)

    In-Ceiling Speakers - Bother the Neighbors?

    Actually, a back box or sealed speaker enclosure will isolate and greatly attenuate the sound from the speaker.

    Center Speaker Upgrade

    Agreed. All front speakers need to have the same drivers, crossover and cabinet characteristics.
