Thank you for the info. I remember back in the 90's i was always trying to keep the cables the same length for each speaker. Probably some article i read somewhere.
-
In your home theater system, how important is symmetry in the cable length to each speaker?

I've run it a couple of times already. At this point, I'm still using my old fronts and surrounds. My RP-280FA's won't be here until tomorrow. So, once I get all of my new speakers I will re-run YPAO.

I'm sure it's worth it once you get the issues sorted out.
Woohoo, I'd be excited. I thought about the RP-280. Seems like a great speaker. I'd probably start with the atmos modules in Front Height and Rear height and see how you like it. Side surrounds for the rear 280 if you can place them there. I'd probably experiment with surround backs vs side surround config. For a while I enjoyed surround backs only with a front height configured, it worked pretty well for my ears. But I don't have a good place to put side surrounds, so I had to like it haha. I'm using ceiling speakers for FH, SS, and RH now. Not ideal but I'm enjoying it.
When you run YPAO, the height and angle measurement is not enabled by default (nor is multi-position measurement) so you'll need to enable those if you want. I also find it to be optimistic for my setup, it set my CDT-5800 ii to large. Thankfully after running and saving the config, it's easy enough to adjust to small and set the crossover to 80. Most of the time I have everything crossed at 80, the sub just does a better job. The distances and heights were fairly accurate for me, I did not adjust them.
I'm having another issue with my 3070. I have set up the speaker calibration with the YPAO and after the measurements, the sound isn't very loud. I literary have to crank the volume way up almost max before it gets loud. It must have something to do with the room size?

Bahahaha I just received my R115 SW. This thing is a beast.

I'm definitely going to hook up the elevation speakers to the front and rear presence inputs. And I will have to check out the surround backs or surround sides and placement of the rear speakers. My wife is already pissed, I've spent a small fortune and I'm rearranging the living room.

Allegedly it has something to do with to handoffs and HDMI. I need to program delays into my Harmony remote when starting the AVR and the TV. I haven't been able to set the delays correctly with my remote control. Still working on this. My four RP-280FAS and my 15" sub will be arriving today. I already have my center channel. Cant wait, i'll have to figure out how i want to connect my speaker's. There seems to be a few options on the 3070.

You might check over on AVSforums.com. There are 1200 posts on the 3070. I didn't read the thread but maybe somebody over there has some experience with the problem you describe.
Thank you, Sir. I will head over and do some investigating.

The 3070 should work nicely with your setup. I got mine today and set it up after spending all too much time in the attic installing 4 new in-ceiling speakers (front and rear height) and re-wiring the 2 in ceilings that had cheap lamp cord wires (replaced with proper in-wall/ceiling wire). Man that was tiring crawling around and moving insulation around etc. Anyway.
I hooked up just the 3070, left my external amp out for now (so my rear heights won't be engaged for now). Nominal testing so far it sounds really good. Coming from a Yamaha 860, the YPAO has more options (height / angle measurements) which I'm glad for considering my in-ceilings (including my non-ideal in-ceiling side surrounds). though it did decide most of my speakers should be set to large. Yeah ok maybe the RF-7II...nonetheless it's easy enough to switch them to small and crossover at 80hz.
It sounds better to me than my 860, and I wasn't expecting that at all. Not sure if it's the DACs or placebo or what. Maybe it's the improved YPAO. Maybe I'm crazy....
Regardless I'm very happy with the 3070. I'll route the front 3 back to my Outlaw 5000, and the rear heights so I can get the 11.1 I bought it for in the first place
(and the pain and suffering of installing the height speakers!) - then I'll give it a proper test and blast some good Atmos movies.
bkevind,
Let me know if you experience this with your 3070. Sometimes when I turn it on the receiver, no sound comes out of the speakers. Then you will see an on-screen display pops up and says "switching audio to external speakers" And then I have sound. It's like the amp is shut off internally or something. It doesn't happen all the time. I'm using a Logitech Harmony remote to turn on all of my equipment and to do the switching to the correct inputs and outputs. When the sound doesn't come on I will just shut everything off and start over. That usually fixes the problem and when you will see the onscreen display says switching audio to external speakers. Has anyone else experienced this issue or know how to fix it without having to reboot the unit? -
I won't have 11 speakers anyway. I have 4 RP-280FAs with 4 elevations speakers built into the FA's, 1 center channel and 1 sub. I can still add another sub if I wanted. But like you said, if I want the full 11.2 ATMOS, I will need an external amp and more speakers.
-
So i just purchased 4 RP-280FAs, 1 RP-450CA and 1 R-115SW. I should be good to go.

Thanks for all of the information. I'm really a fan of the SVS speakers. Doesn't the 3070 put out enough power for the RP280FA? Why the external amp?
5 hours ago, nubee said:I have the Yamaha for the past few months and it is outstanding! I'm a novice but I have a pair of RP280FAs up front with the RP450C in between; pair of RP280FAs for surrounds; SVS PB2000 for sub; Emotiva BX-A300 Power Amp running the front speakers. All I can say is WOWSKER!! Just saw the R26FAs on sale and am thinking of purchasing a pair for the back surrounds then I will have a bonafide 11.1.4. All that's left after that is the 2nd sub. quasi hijack of thread: i've read that rears and surrounds are not important to timbre match the front soundstage and if true, any opinions on running the R26FAs as the rear surrounds? Before I lost my mind with this setup, I tried the soundbar route on a few occasions but got tired of compromising! :-)

I was wondering where I would find a price for this system?
http://www.klipsch.com/products/reference-premiere-dolby-atmos-home-theater-systems?model=rp-280-5-1-4-dolby-atmosI will probably purchase this one and will have to add additional speakers to create the Atmos system above.

I have seen this system at Crutchfield for less than at Amazon.

Hello everyone,
Does anyone have any experience with the Yamaha RX-A3070 Aventage? I was thinking of purchasing one and pairing it with a Klipsch home theater speaker package. Any idea how much the RP-280 5.1.4 DOLBY ATMOS® SYSTEM Black (# sys-rp280514-black) cost? It must be pretty expensive since they don't show a price. I will probably pick up the RP-280 HOME THEATER SYSTEM Ebony (# sys-rp280-ebony)RP-280 HOME THEATER SYSTEM Ebony (# sys-rp280-ebony).
I'm sure it's worth it once you get the issues sorted out.

I have an issue with my right ear bud crashing. I get the same gut wrenching sound when your PC crashes. The right ear bud is constantly disconnecting from my phone. So frustrated submitted for a refund.
