Wow. I came here looking for advice, and you were kind of to give it and when I don't take said advice you become jerks? Firstly I have been in IT for over 20 years and did plenty of research. I didn't take one mans advice. I weighed EVERYONEs advice, my room, my budget and made a decision that I thought was best for me. Seems there some egos in this room.
Twisted, you should really understand the people you talk about before making a comment. And BTW he has 2 home theaters in his house filled with Klipsch speakers and one of if not largest Klipsch dealer. If he was just trying to make money he would recommended the most expensive he could find.
But that being said I appreciate everyone's ADVICE. Thank you very much.

They were sure. I appreciate everyone recommending ASD, Mike was awesome. Just placed my package order short bit ago.

I ended up going with the 260s as I just didn't have space for the 280 foot print. I purchased from ASD as everyone recommended. Mike was awesome. I know many people would disagree but he actually steered me away from the 15 inch sub and recommended the 12. He said the 15 is great for home theater but doesn't do music justice. The 12 is good for both and could always add a second sub later on if you wanted more bass for home theater.
I haven't gotten my setup yet tho so I'm not speaking from experience.
-
Order placed, though Mike, surprisingly convinced me to go with the 12" since i will be 50% movies, 50% music. Hope 'twas right decision. We will find out next week
-
I'll see what kind deal Mike can give me on 260F's, 1 440C, 2 250S's, the R-115SW and the Denon AVR-X4200W. Thanks everyone!

Yes I have and certainly appreciate EVERYONE's advice.
-
So then the general the recommendation is the 260 fronts , 440c (can't go bigger for either do to space), 250 surrounds and the 15 inch sub over the 12?
-
Not at all, I apologize if coming off that way. Just discussing advantages/disadvantages and asking questions.
-
I don't think the extra footprint of 4x4 inches would be a HUGE deal, was more balking at the extra 250 price tag. The other question is do I really need a 15 inch sub in a 1400 cubic foot room. Though it does have one wall open into the dining room.
-
Yeah I think I am going to stick with the 12 inch sub. I can always add a second sub later if needed.
-
Do you think I would regret stepping down to the 240 surrounds or are the 250 surrounds to much for the 260 fronts?
-
Ok so been doing some measuring. As you can see by my pic, I don't have a lot of room up front. I can fit the RP-260s and a 440C up front. I have room for the 2 surrounds and sub in the back.
The room I have is only 1344 cubic feet (8 foot ceilings) but is open on the back side. I have a second room that is 1475 cubic feet. I don't use and it's more inconvenient to use this room though.
So here is what I am looking at:
2 RP-260F
1 RP-440C (this will be in an entertainment center, no way around it)
1 R-112SW
2 RP-250S
So here are my questions. Based on my room sizes am I going to regret not going the 280s or should I find a way to cram them in. Based on the room size and dropping to the 260s should I drop to the 10 inch sub and/or the 240 surrounds?
BTW printing these with a Denon AVR-X4200W

The rears, which I will probably go with the 250S's over the 160M's because of how the room is setup, and the sub I am not worried about space but I have a very tight spot for fronts and center. I am an entertainment center with space only 26 inches wide which means the 440. Unless I find some way to put it on top. I also don't have much space on the sides for the fronts so trying to figure that out. I can pull the entertainment center out some to give me more room but I would cover up a vent.
Attaching some pics.

Good enough for me. From what you guys have said they sound reputable. As long as they are new, I will not argue with saving 1k!
-
Yeah those prices are directly from an email and convo with him, they are even better than the website. WTH!

RO160M or RP250S in the back?
-
The entertainment center is at an angle in a corner, but I am sure I could figure out how to wall mount in the general area.
-
Hmm putting TV on top of speaker will sit it up to high, that and i am not even sure of the width of the base yet on the new Samsung models. I will have to think on that one.
-
How much space would you recommend on the sides of the center speaker if I placed it IN the entertainment center? I have 26.5 inches of width, where the 440 is 26 inches. That doesn't give me much leeway. Height and depth should not be issues.
Subwoofer wise, the issue is space, as you could tell by the pics. I MIGHT be able to manage two however from a budget standpoint I would need to go two 10". Would you recommend a single 12" or two 10"?
-
I doubt I will put in twin subs but I will be adding a nice 10" sub.
I have 26.5 inches width in my entertainment center , the 440 is 26 inches. I am afraid I might have some rattling going on but I think it MIGHT fit.
Thanks for all the suggestions!

In addition to adding 4k this year, I am planning on upgrading my current Sony sound bar to a Klipsch 5.1 system (I do not have space for 7.1). I have attached some pics of my challenges including a general layout to give reference. As you can see my walls are all over the place so they present a challenge.
Dimensions:
Living Room 12'x14'x9'
Dining Room 12'14'x9'
Hallway is 3 feet wide
Viewing distance from my couch to the TV is ranges from 7-8 feet. The area between the stairs and the living room is actually not a wall but rather a banister.
I am unsure of a receiver yet but I am looking at the reference or reference premier speakers. My primary coverage area is the living room totalling just over 1500 cubic feet so I have been classifying this as a medium size room. In the future I can eventually move the setup to a better space of equal size but more enclosed, however that's not an option at the moment. The system will be 90% Movies, streaming, TV and 10% music.
I originally set myself a budget of 2k not including the receiver but that can be fudged a bit if necessary.
My initial thoughts were the RP-260F or R-26F, though I am unsure if these are the right size for this room (I could be convinced to with the RP-280F/R-28F or RP-250F/R-24F) and a RP-250C (RP-440C will barely fit in my entertainment center) or R-25C. I am unsure whether I should go with surround speakers such as the RP-250/240S or R-14S or bookshelf speakers such as RP160/150M or R015/14M for my back speakers. I will be adding a subwoofer as well and welcome any suggestions. My eventual goal is to add Dolby Atmos and will be most likely adding RP-140SA in the very near future.
I would welcome any help or suggestions. Thanks!
