The best center is a third RF-3.

One biggun’.

That’s a really good idea, hadn’t thought of that. Thanks!

Yes, I’m using a Sony surround receiver.

Thanks for the feedback!

That was my thought too. Thanks! Think that’s the route I’ll go.

I guess something like this is what I was thinking of: https://www.amazon.com/ZhiYo-Paintable-Concealer-Management-8xL15-7in/dp/B0BW328RV8 I’m not sure if I like the idea of double-sided tape for installing it, though, since the horizontal beam has a textured surface and I’m not sure how well it would adhere to it.

It’s for a 5.2.2 Atmos theater but I’m only running the wires for the Atmos speakers in the track.

My wife and I moved into a new house a couple weeks ago. I have the theater set up in the basement but still haven’t installed my AW-650s that I was using as Atmos. In our old basement the ceiling was much taller so I was able to mount them directly above aimed down at the MLP. That won’t work in the new house so what I’m planning on doing is mounting them to a horizontal beam that runs the length of the ceiling behind my TV. There’s a vertical beam behind the TV that I’d run the speaker wire up and then across the top beam. I have monoprice flat speaker wire that I’ll be using for the height speakers and am wanting a recommendation on a flat plastic “track” that I can run the wire through so that it looks halfway decent. I’ll need a section that’s about 2 feet tall and 8 feet wide, forming a T. I don’t mind if a small amount of wire is visible where the two pieces meet. Thanks for any recommendations you have! I marked in black in the attached pic where the “track” will be run, it would continue behind the TV down that pillar just a little bit. The AW-650s would be mounted pretty much directly above the L/R Heresys on that horizontal beam.

What don’t you like about yours?

How’s your health these days? Nice to see you posting again!

Tweeters/compression drivers will pretty much always be more fragile than woofers. If you’re just hearing hiss at idle though I wouldn’t think anything is wrong. Almost all high sensitivity drivers will have that when connected to amplification.

If you have an Atmos setup your surrounds should be a direct radiating design instead of wide dispersion.

100%. I have 5 Heresys including one as a center speaker. It’s far and away the best sound I’ve ever had and I tried different “traditional” center speakers and never liked their sound.

You could always do the 500m as surrounds.
