[Optimal distance for RP-140SA?]

Thanks man, I think I can only experiencing by myself...

 

Coz I have read some posts that people were saying that they don't feel atmos from their rp140sa, so I am worrying about that the same thing will happen to me....

my main listening position is about 2m only... so i worry that the distance is too close and not enough distance for sound to diffuse.... 

[Optimal distance for RP-140SA?]

O.o? anyone?  or is this just a set of non popular speakers?

[Optimal distance for RP-140SA?]

I have read from some other forums, people are saying that because of the firing angle, and the distance to the listening position, they have to adjust the angle manually (using pads) in order to get the atmos effect.  someone even claimed that they have to tilt angle so much such that it feels like he's just listening to a front speaker.

 

so my question is what is the optimal distance for these speakers such that I don't have to adjust their angles?

 

Thank you.

everything for spl is at the main listening position.  All the speakers should 73 measure 76 db at the main listening position.  If they meet this requirement, then setup is OK.

 Hi, when you say all speakers, is subwoofer included?

Try sending test tones thru all the speaker and check the spl with a meter.  If all the speakers are approximately 75 db with the MV of -30, setup should be good.  Next, select some movies with good surround effects.  Star Wars, The Force As Awaken, Olympus Hall Fallen, The Incredible Hulk, The Underword Series of movies and Resident Evil series.  In general, you should not need to jack the surround volume up.

 

Thank you derrick.  do i test with meter directly in front of each speaker or my sitting position? does MV stand for Main Volume??   sorry i am a newbie to HT , thank you.

currently I place them at about 2 ft above ear level.  I am using yamaha receiver, and after I used YPAO to set it up, i cannot feel any surroundness, should i just turn up the surround level?

Hi All,

 

How high should i place my surround speakers?  I read somewhere that it should be about 2 ft above ear level, and some saying that just like front speakers at ear level??

 

I read Klipsch manual saying that "Klipsch WDST surround speakers should be placed approximately 2 feet above the listening position. Typically this will be about 5-7 feet above the floor. The surrounds should be placed on the walls directly adjacent to the listening position". I am using R-15m as my surround speaker, so should I just put them at ear level (directly adjacent)?

 

Thank you.

[RP250f vs RP160m]

My room size is about 30+m²   (about 7m * 5m), and I am planning to get 450c as the central speaker.  Should I get 250f or 160m as the main speakers?  Which speaker goes better with 450c?  Thank you.
