That's just great, now I am really confused. I usually don't have a drink this early... As you had eluded to, my system will consist of the Atmos setup utilizing (4) in-celing speakers.

Thank you Jim!

Scrappydue, I could probably swing the RF-82ii's, but not the 7's. As far as the surrounds (Side & Rear) are concerned, I'm wanting to create a very good sense of despersion (for movie sound effects) and really don't know which type of speaker will give that result, please advise if the RB-61ii is the best option (direct firing) or should I look into angular dual speakers with a horn tweeter per cabinet (hope this makes sense)? Hi Jim, I would love to get the gear out and test it but the rooms are not ready yet. Construction is currently underway as I type this out. Completion estimated for mid Feb.

Hi Scrappydue, No worries. I didn't pay full price, half off on the R-28F's and R-15M's, and even less on the KF-28's. I could potential take them back as I have until Jan. 15th. I do want to keep the (2) Sunfire subs. I'm not (mind-set) locked into purchasing 2 more sunfires, I'm open to suggestions. So, please steer me in a better direction and I'll see if I can flip the bill on them. Thanks. And thanks to the other members as well for direction/ input!

Hi Folks, Well, this is my first post and I'm hoping to get some sense of direction concerning a 7.2 system. My equipment on hand so far is a Pre/Pro Marantz AV7702, Emotiva XPA-7, (2) Klipsch R-28F, (2) Klipsch Icon KF-28, (2) Klipsch R-15M, (2) Sunfire HRS12 (Subwoofers). All of the equipment is still in boxes, not installed yet. Note: I will be installing 4 ceiling speakers as well, but currently more focused on the 7 speakers on the floor. Audio equipment still needed/ desired = Center: Klipsch RC-64 II or Sunfire CRS-3C. I will aslo end up purchasing (2) more subwoofers So, let me try and paint the picture. The room size that the speakers will be placed in is 2760 cubic feet (15 x 23 x 8). This room is open to a additional room that is 2560 cuft., so total combined area is 5320cuft. (Please see the attached layout for visual reference) This multi-purpose room will be used primarily for viewing movies/tv and some music, rock/ jazz when my wife is out. My plan is/was to use the R-28F's as the mains, use the R-15M's as the side surrounds, and the Icon KF-28's as the rear surrounds. My main concern is did I make a mistake in purchasing the R-15M's and the Icon's to be used as the surrounds? Also, please feel free to give your opinion on the center speaker perference. I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thank you.
