    Each room is different, some rooms might like 5.2.2, some rooms a 7.2 might sound better.

    I know I hear crowd noise in concerts but effects in movies seem few and far between. However, I also dont stand back there listening for them. They are nice big Ol’ rear surrounds and look cool hanging from my floor joists bracket aiming down toward us. BUT, I have read somewhere 5.2.2 can be better option than 7.2. I guess only one way to find out.

    If you seldom realize your rear speakers it sounds like an AVR setup issue. Fwiw, I've run rears for almost 2 decades and now use the "Dolby PLIIz" setting using heights and Rears and it sounds fabulous! When my Den9n Avr-4311bites the dust I'm going 7.2.2. :)

    I almost always watch Blu-ray’s down there exclusively. So I usually just default to Dolby true HD or whatever it says on the setup.

    I’ll have to give that a try

     Good evening all,

         The times that I have actually heard my rear surround speakers in 7.2 configuration, are few and far between.

        I remember one specific movie, “Jack Ryan-Shadow Recruit” with Chris Pine.

    there was an explosion in a helicopter scene and it was the first time I heard them and it sounded really awesome, however that’s about the only time that comes to mind that I actually noticed them. 
         Are they playing much more ambient sound than I realize? I’m just wondering if I could move them to Atmos duty in a 5.2.2 configuration. I spray painted my floor joists black and they would fit in well up there but I’m not sure the dispersion pattern is correct for Atmos. Or Possibly other problems that are over my head even. (No pun intended..atmos..I kill me)

        If that is a bad idea I could always sell them and get the CDT 5800, I believe I’ve read that’s a good choice.

        I’m finally getting actual walls and a screen in my basement home theater after assembling things for the past 12 years. 
    I have six children and I think John Lennon said it best when he said something to the effect of,”life is what happens when you try to make plans.”

        Anyway, any and all comments or suggestions are appreciated.

    I know I always say this on the few posts that I do make.  The most important resource we have is our time, I appreciate any spent helping me on this post!

    I had 3 at one point and two for years. They were awesome subs! Dang concrete basements!!! 😡 The midbass was awesome especially. YouTube has a surroundsound demo with just a picture of a T-Rex on it. The footsteps of him coming shook my house almost as much as my JTR! They were a force to be reckoned with. Enjoy!

    Promedia 2.1 thunder/loud static noise

    Many videos on youtube to fix this issue. 
    I have a set of ProMedia 2.1 in all four of my kids bedrooms and occasionally we apply the methods in videos to clean with electronics contact cleaner inside the speaker with the electronics and volume knob. Very easy to do for even a novice. HOPEFULLY it will work for you as well.

It speaks volumes!

    New Home Theater build: 3 of the RF-7 III across front, and for timbre matched surround?

    in Home Theater

     Hello Wookie,

        Your room size is  almost identical to mine. I also run three RF-7’s up front but version two.

     I originally ran my set up with just an AVR but switched to a 200x7 B and K amplifier I bought from Youthman. I can tell you that the sound greatly improved when I switched. I know that many people on this forum may disagree, but I found the sound to be much more rich and full with the addition of the power amp.
