    Sound localization is part of Dolby Atmos.  That's why they recommend direct radiating speakers versus dipole or bipole design.  The object based sounds are given pinpoint locations and not meant to be scattered everywhere.
    You're correct, the objects are supposed to localized. The issue is the speakers become more pinpoint and aren't as enveloping in my experience. As far as using non-direct radiators for surround channels, the WDST style surrounds work quite well. Dolby labs were quite impressed with the Klipsch system I demonstrated for them several years back.

    It can be done safely if a person knows what they're doing.
     
    Also, the upfiring "ceiling bounce" Atmos setup does almost nothing.  In or on-ceiling gives the best Atmos experience.
    Up-firing does work just fine. You haven't experienced an appropriate setup or wouldn't say that. I prefer a DAES setup as with In-ceiling speakers you can localize the speakers more easily.

  3. The 500sa is designed to be sat on top of your tower speakers and aimed at the ceiling.  This is a purpose made Dolby Atmos Enabled Speaker, an alternative location is mounting them on the wall as height speakers(least desired position).  In no circumstance does Klipsch recommend mounting that speaker on the ceiling, that's what In-Ceiling speakers are for.

  4. Just curious, what was/is on the other end of your Crown's?
     
    They were used in bridge mode to 4 15" subwoofers. I had to use separate AC circuits so I didn't trip breakers. The combo was punishing the last 30 minutes of an indoor wedding I did when everyone was liquored up.

  5. I have 4 of these for sale, priced $125ea. These have rebuilt fanformers with fresh sleeve bearings. All channels have had their bias adjustments set to factory spec. I also put in new air filters. These are about as clean as you will find, and certainly work horse amplifiers.

    I only used them for a few hours after they were refurbished. They have been parked in my rack for a year, time to let them go.

  6. I have for sale a pair of consecutive serial number Pro La Scala. #2854, 2855  I have owned these for 10+ years where they have served as my garage speakers.  I recently pulled them out and took them to Klipsch HQ where I inspected them.  I wanted to clean them up a little and make sure they are fully functional.  These have custom networks that I designed as the AL networks they came with were trashed years ago.  The woofers are matching K43, and mids are matching K-55-V pairs.  I didn't have any K-77 tweeters to cherry pick from but they are good to go.  The cabinets are in pretty good shape for their age, and all aluminum trim pieces are intact.  I'm not sure where these fall in the market, but I know they are not as common as traditional La Scala pairs.  These will be available for pick up at Klipsch HQ in Indianapolis.  asking price is $2250

     

    I've thrown in 2 R-115 subs to sweeten the deal.  They are fully functional, but they are beat up pretty good.

    Interesting ... I find Permatex Plastic Welder, which is a 2-part epoxy, and Permatex Plastic Bonder, which appears to be a cyanoacrylate activator. Both products are new to me. Anybody have experience with either? I don't have a broken KLF 30, but this might be good general info.
    You are correct, I used the wrong wording. The correct product to use should be Plastic Welder.

  8. This is a screen I built a couple years ago, I recently switched back to a TV.  It is made of 2 layers of spandex material, white over black.  This is for local pickup only, and it needs to be gone by next Saturday.  Location is southwest of Indianapolis.  It will not fit lengthwise in an 8ft pickup bed.  If interested please message me to setup a time for pickup. 

     

    This is the only photo I could find now that it isn't in use, ignore the alien.
