If your speakers have treads for a screw, it should work since it is compatible with multiple Klipsch bookshelf speakers. Welcome to the forum.

Post some pic's. Congrats on the build.

I think they are also in some 2025 Infiniti's.

The Heresy lV should be fine with your amp and perfect for the kind of music you like. Welcome to the forum Pierre.

Not my coins, lol. They are great speakers.

You can do the old subwoofer craw to see where placement would be best.

They did it because, that's the way it was! Marketing gimmicks that work.

Welcome to the forum. It sounds like this system is mainly for movies or are you into 2 ch stereo? This info will help with amp suggestions. I use the Marantz NR 1200 for TV/2 Ch stereo. I added an external amps not for more power but, with more of a focus on 2 ch. I use a low watt tube amp that is more than adequate for my speakers. The speakers are only 91.5 db sensitivity. Most Klipsch's are more efficient and just don't need a whole lot of power.

Changing the orientation should be workable.

You need a big TV to go with the oversize Klipsch speakers that many of us own.

Your speakers should be fine listening 6 1/2 ft. from the speakers. The RP-500 is rear ported and should not be in a bookcase or other enclosed space because it may cause bass issues. Enjoy!

The answer you are looking for depends on the speakers. Your speakers are rear ported, start the count from there. Wow, this is not practical in many rooms. I would bet, the majority of us make compromises in speaker placement. Some speakers are front ported to help with rear wall placement. I have a pair of speaker that are front and bottom ported. The bottom port does not behave well less than 20 in. from the wall. Front baffle center is over 2 ft. from the side wall. Proper setup may take months with tweaking. Don't get hung up on getting things perfect off the bat. A bit of experimentation and learning the room will help tune things in. 50% of what we here is the room. That's why it may take a to bit of time dial into fidelity. Getting loud is easy, fidelity...........

I will unveil the real winner:

My guess is the Height set is for an Atmos module on the top. It wood connect to the Height terminal via a long jumper.

You may want to post this question in: Ask the Historian. Get the serial # off the back and post that also. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum. Try to get the speaker at least 6-8 ft. apart from each other and at least 2-3 ft from rear and side walls. The rest is experimentation since everyone's room is different. A pic of the room would help.

Go Hoosiers!

Very nice work!

What in-wall speakers, subwoofer, budget for AVR and speakers need to be shared. You can put a good HT w/o TXH certification.

Never owned a SET amp but, the PP tube amps that I have owned all had excellent bass. They all could put out over 25 watts at a minimum and ovcr 50 watts per ch. without a problem.

Great story and accomplishment John. Diabetes affects everything in the body in a bad way over time. Exercise, weight loss and diet modification are just what the doctor says.

Your Onkyo is rated at 130 watts/2 ch driven. That is plenty of power for speaker with a sensitivity of 98 db. The Marantz is not as powerful but, more than enough for most people with those speakers unless you are in a very large room.

The Choice depends on room size, looks, HT setup (#speakers, amplification and other things).

That Pioneer Elite amp is very good and should drive your speaker to insane levels. What would an amp bring to the fire? The Corwalls are a bit over 100 db sensitivity. Using 100 db sensitivity, mean 1 watt at 1m you get 100 dbs. To make it sound twice as loud, you need 10x the power or 10 watts to get to 110db. Wow, that loud with just 10 watts. Most of our listening is in the 1 watt region with Heritage speakers and that is why so many of us use tube amps to power their speakers. I have used a power amps with multiple Pioneer Elite avr's and can't say the amp added anything other than I liked doing it. I have also use tube amps with the Elite avr's and enjoy them over SS amps if you are looking for a slightly different sound. Don't get hung up on amp watts, speaker sensitivity is a key factor in deciding your power needs. Welcome to the forum.

Thanks Maynard !
