Hi,
I'm new to the Klipsch world having just purchased a pair of Palladium P-37f.
I like them a lot coming from Tannoy D700s that I've owned for 18 years now.
I use them in our living room/Home Theater behind an acoustically transparent screen.
My amp is the Pioneer LX83 - I'm bi-amping the P-37f.
With the Tannoys I had 3x D700 behind the screen.
Despite of me being a professional cellist,
we mainly use the equipment for movies and tv shows.
(But of course classical music should sound right,
and it does with the Palladiums. Also with some AC/DC or Sting or...)
For now I have a used RC-64 II as Center, which is very good.
It`s the first dedicated Center speaker I have and compared to the D700 as center,
movie dialogue sounds much clearer now.
But of course it would be nice to have a matching center again some time in the future....
So - here's my first question to you guys - Center:
Should I search for a third P-37f or go for the Palladium center P-27c?
Would there be an advantage for movie dialogue using the P-27c over the P-37f?
(I could get the same price for each of them. Just putting a third P-37f in the middle would be easier,
cause I needed a big stand to put the P-27c at the same height as the P-37 tweeters.)
Second question - Surrounds:
What surrounds should I choose?
I find the Palladium Dipoles a little expensive for my purpose especially if going for 7.0 in the future.
Right now I've a 5.0 system with some Teufel M 1000 (full spectrum dipoles from a German company) to the right and left of the seating position.
Atmos will definitly be nice to have in the future with 4 speakers at the cealing.
I could get a pair of 1/2 year old RS-62 II for the same price as a pair of RP-250s that are new but without warranty (private seller).
Which should I choose? Or go for something else intirely?
Thinking of a future Atmos upgrade, do I need different side and back surrounds then to match Atmos specs?
Anyway - you see, I'm still at the beginning of my Klipsch journey.
Until now (2 days) it sounds very exciting, very clear and it's great fun. I think, now I need some expert input from you guys,
which I'm sure I can get here (having read a lot of posts here during the last week).
So I'd be greatful for any input you could give me.
I wish you a great sounding weekend!
