    Cornwall in a small room..running 2.0 ??

    You'd miss out on the "immersive experience" in that size of room with few reflections having longer delay times would be present. The deal with small rooms is to get enough surround channels to experience the longer time delays, thus making the room feel much larger during movies and surround sound music.    Your idea for three more Cornwalls is a good one, especially if you can find a "vertical Cornwall" than can lie flat under the screen.

     

    The use of a HT center channel is usually an issue with speech intelligibility in your case.  If you only have one couch sitting centered between the corners of the room and on axis with the TV, the issue of locking in the center image is not a big deal.

     

    I'd certainly not be shy about placing a more absorption at the front of the room around the TV and make sure that any other acoustically reflective objects in the middle are minimized in order to retain a good center image without having to resort to not toeing in your Cornwalls properly (I'd recommend toeing them in more than you show in the picture).  Reflective objects between your speakers will kill the center imaging. 

     

    If you can, think about placing the electronics to the side of the room on one side down low or not more than 12 inches high off the floor if centered under the TV.  Covering the sides of the electronics boxes and stands with acoustically absorbing material would help greatly in regaining the center imaging.  Placing absorption panels or squares on the side walls just at the height of the Cornwall tweeters will also improve imaging a great deal.  For determining how much absorption is needed, you can do all the absorption placement cheaply by pinning up blankets or quilts and having a listen.  This will help you decide on the amount of absorption that will minimize early reflections around the front of the room that will kill your soundstage. 

     

    I'd also recommend keeping your Cornwalls within a foot or so of the corners in order to avoid 200-300 Hz frequency response suck-outs and also avoid loss of deep bass response from the Cornwalls.  Using absorption on the side and front walls to control early midrange reflections will give you all your imaging back without killing off your midbass and low bass response from pulling them out of the corners.

    Why you wanna toe in more than 45 degrees? That seems strange to me

    How low can the price be? I got all my Klipsch at Fry at significantly low price. My RP-250S was bought at only $212.

    Not many dealers will compete with frys. They basically give away stuff. I don't know how they do it without losing money

    I was wondering just why to avoid the open box deals? I am going to upgrade my sub soon and have looked at going with 2 instead of just 1 and thought maybe the open box would be a good way to save a few bucks. Anyway I would appreciate your insight, right now I have 1 R-110SW and it sounds great but after reading a lot of different opinions on subs I get the feeling that I'm missing out on deeper sound that my little 10" sub just can't reproduce.

    Oh you're leaving a lot on the table with just that ten. Get with @MetropolisLakeOutfitters  He's a dealer in this group and I think he has some r-115's right now. His name is cory. He will see this since I tagged him

    La Scalia's for a Home Theatre?

    Roger in Indy has seven of them (if I recall correctly) and a couple subwoofers.....  it is outstanding.

     

    You can sit in the center of the room and the (phantom) center channel is absolutely locked in.  I thought he was playing a trick on me and had actually turned the center LaScala up and the others down.....so I got up to prove him wrong and catch him in his trick....  walked towards the front channel and as I got about 4-5 feet away, the (absolutely) locked center sound slowly dispersed and widened out to the front left/right.

     

    It was an amazing experience.

     

     

    you talking about roger chase?i know @twistedcrankcammer has the seven pro khorns

    oh well yeah it has duplicate drivers and I'm sure they are stereo in a sense each full range gets its own feed. i was just meant they are singles and the six is the set. the three really is great sounding. it sits off to my left in my office. I'm just now starting to wonder if its gonna last since they already are having lots of issues.

    I have a three and it's awesome. However hearing lots of bad things about the ones not charging and battery issues amd

    alrrasy know of a couple people with bad sixes. Klipsch NEEDS ago make a passive version of this. I'm down for that. But count me out on the sixes. I was excited to try them

    but to hear of so many problems already. Makes me want to sell my three and just stick with passive stuff.

    KMC-3 in a new shell? Still love mine..

    I think there is more to it? I know "the one" has different drivers than the kmc-1. I think the KCM-3 had two full range and a single 5.25" woofer. The three has two full range plus the 5.25 and then two passive 5.25 radiators. It's pretty damn nice. I love mine. It gets 55 hours a week of playtime

    Curious as to how you came up with the idea to use these for Atmos ceiling speakers. :)  Personally I would take CDT-5800-C-II's and build a custom box for them.  If you don't like those then get the bookshelves and tear them apart and do something similar with the drivers.  If you made a shallow box you could just bolt them to the ceiling through the driver cutout.  All you need is a hammer drill then use a Tapcon self tapping concrete screw.  At that point just mount the drivers like in any other ceiling.  

    You gonna sell this guy the first pair of rf-7iii??? Pre order pre order pre order!!!!
