Thanks. What would a setup look like that used KI-396s, what would I need to compliment them?

I would like to stay within the same budget price as the RP 7.4.2 system if it would only be geared for the theater half of the room. If the setup was versatile and could pull double duty with a theater zone and game room zone it would open access to additional money. I had planned on using a Denon X6300H to power the speakers and handle the video, but am open to whatever will work best. How does Pro Cinema equipment compare to RP equipment in terms of cost, are they even close or more like 3-5x as much?

Theater is definitely the top priority, but it would be a nice option to be able to pull back the curtain and use the sound system for the whole room. The other half of the room would be setup with a pool table and TVs. I'm a complete novice here, but I was just referring to the speakers I see on klipsch.com as Pro Cinema or behind-the-screen speakers. Thanks for your response.

Hello all! I'm new to the forum and would appreciate any insights you may give about an upcoming project of mine. I would like to utilize about half of a room that measures 30' wide by 58' long with 8' tall ceilings so their space would be 30' wide by 28' long and divide the room with a heavy curtain. I'm not concerned with sound affecting the non-theater half of the room but only in optimizing the experience of the theater side. I plan on using a 150"-160" screen with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with my projector which will still be tight with only having 8' ceilings. I am currently considering a 7.2.4 setup using 2x RP-280F, 1x RP-450C, 2x RP-160M, 2x RP-250S, 2x R115SW, and 4x CDT-5800-C II in ceiling speakers for the Atmos effect. I was wondering at what room size one would consider using Cinema products instead of Home Theater equipment or if there are better options available that I haven't considered. The room would be used nearly 100% for movie viewing with the first row of theater seating at approximately 10' from the screen with low-back sofas, the second row would be theater seats at 17' from the screen, and the third row would be theater seats approx 23' from the screen. Thanks for any suggestions! Theater Example.pdf
