Primary Use: 10% music 90% TV and Movies

Desired Configuration: 7.1 Atmos (7.1.2?)

Room Size: 13'x14' (from sitting postion, ceiling is 8ft; opposite wall, 11.5ft)

Is the room open to other areas of your home: Yes

Do you already have an AV receiver or amplifier? No

What's your budget (low to high): Up to $1500 additional?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Already have:

Klipsch RP-500Ms (4x for surround sides and back ?)
Klipsch RP-404C (center channel)
Klipsch R-41Ms for Atmos (height) 2x
Klipsch R-12SW for subwoofer

Thinking of getting:

Klipsch RP-4000Fs or Klipsch RP-5000Fs for front

Denon AVR-S750H

Not sure if all this "fits", works well together, is overkill, underkill, laughable...

Most content will be streamed via Plex

...so much stress to my brain pondering all this and researching...

...appreciate any and all advice/criticism in my endeavor
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

thanks!

Am not to sure if anything is really overkill but in your situation IMHO judging from the diagram provided. The 7.1.2 should work but just know that you can also get away with and get good results with 5.1.2 as well. The one thing is trying to place the tweeters right about ear height in the seated position. And one of the critical parts is getting the position of your atmos height speakers placed correctly. Alot of us have rooms that are not great for sound because of there shape and or are open to other rooms so we just have to work with what we have so don't stress over that. If you decide to get a dedicated streaming box look into the Apple TV to run with your plex server. This will give you access to iTunes, HBO Max, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime, Netflix and Paramount Plus. Take your time and do as much research as you can and do not rush. Enjoy your system and the movies you watch.

What is the best position for the Atmos speakers (if 5.1.2 is the desired configuration): front, middle (like in the set-up above) or back?
