In early 2018 I purchased 4 RP-250s surround speakers and included them in an existing setup (7.2.2) that includes a Denon X4300H AVR, 2 RP-280F Towers, 2 RP-140SA Atmos Up-Firing, a RP-450 center, and 2 subs (from the Reference line) R12SW. One of the real positive benefits of the Denon AVR is it allowed me to calibrate the system using the Audyssey MultEQ XT32, and the AVR also had capabilities for 2 subs. The size of my theater room is 14 by 16. For the last year or so, I have adjusted settings and massaged the overall system and I've got it where music sounds pretty good and a 4K movie with Dolby Atmos sounds pretty stinking good as well. As I continue to read and expand my knowledge, and as we all know, we are never completely satisfied and always looking for the next tweak of the system. Thankfully, I am not afflicted with the desire to keep getting the next "bigger" model or item, but I am always looking to do it a better way.
Now that I have provided the background of my system, I'll address why I am submitting this today. While I have gained a lot of insight in general speaker placement, I have found the placement of the RP-250s a little more challenging, due to the fact the physical makeup of these speakers are so unique with the woofers and tweeters are angled apart from each other versus regular surround speakers that point in one direction. I currently have these speakers placed as the surround speaker pair, and as the surround back speaker pair. As I stated earlier I use the Audyssey program for the audio setup, but I'm not sure I've done everything I could with the RP-250s, or even if I have them placed in correct location because of their shape. As all of the diagrams I have looked at show the surround speakers being the regular design that point in one direction, I was hoping there is some documentation specifically for the RP-250s in relation to placement.
If there is anyone who has any additional information about specific placement of these speakers, I would certainly appreciate it if you would share it. Take care.
