Thank you. I don't really need the floor standing speakers. The house isn't big enough for them and the cost is of course just about double.

That is true. There would be a mismatch in looks. Especially since I have the 160M in Cherry.

Last year I bought a beautiful pair of RP 160M speakers. I paired them with the 450c center channel and the 140 Atmos speakers. I moved my old front speakers to the rear speaker position. They are a pair of 6.5 inch LSA 1 speakers. Quite gorgeous with a very nice sound. But, I'd like to make my entire system Klipsch and move the LSA speakers to my bedroom. They don't have the full clarity and bottom end of the 160M. One of my favorite ways to listen to music in my living room is in surround on my Denon 3400H. I love the separation of music into the different channels when I listen in surround or neural x. I also sometimes listen in multi channel stereo. I'd like as much clarity and richness as I can get from the rears. Hence the upgrade from my LSA speakers. So...... I am looking to replace my rears with either the Klipsch RP 600m or another pair of the RP 160M speakers. My question is, is it worth the extra $ to get a pair of the RP 600M and move them to the front and move my RP 160M to the rear? The other option is to get another pair of the 160M speakers so that I have 4. Is there that much of a significant difference between the 600M and the 160M besides the new look? I know the tweeter is vented in the 600M. But is it worth the extra $200+? Since I don't just use them as surround speakers for movies, but also for music I think I want my rears to have the same capabilities as the fronts. But worth getting the 600M? Thanks

I am looking to get the Rp-450C center speaker. But I'm concerned that I don't have much space behind it. I have about 2 inches behind the center speaker, as it will be in a cabinet. Is this a problem?

Only 20% off on the speakers I'm waiting for. Hoping that the prices will drop again as we get nearer to the commercial release of the 2018 RP line.

Hi, I've purchased a pair of RP-140SA ELEVATION SPEAKERS and am deciding how to place them. https://www.klipsch.com/products/elevation-speakers?model=rp-140sa I'm using them for watching movies and wanting to get the atmos overhead sounds. I have a 5.1 setup to which these will be added. The two best choices for my room setup are either: 1) On top of my front speakers firing up toward the ceiling to bounce back down to the couch. It is a vaulted ceiling. 2). As front height speakers mounted on the wall above the front speakers and angling down toward the couch. Does placing them as front height speakers lose atmos sound placement? Or do both those placements achieve the same result, but perhaps with one being more effective than the other? My main purpose is to take advantage of Dolby DTS:X and Atmos engineered media. Thanks.

I was asking in the other direction. I wasn't asking about if the receiver had enough power.

Yes. 5.1.2. I don't think that with that receiver I can add surround back and keep the atmos enabled upfiring speakers. Right now the atmos enabled modules get plugged into the rear surround posts at the receiver and the receiver is programmed to recognize them as front atmos enabled modules. I don't see a way to do 7.1.2.

No, I wasn't choosing these based on power matching. That question came up for me after I had decided on these. I want bookshelf speakers and these are reviewed as being awesome for both music and visual media. Mainly movies. I already have the atmos enabled RP-140SA speakers to go on top of these as my front speakers. I also already have a center and surround speakers. I'm just upgrading my front speakers. I don't have room for floor standing speakers.

Yes, Bill. I think you are right. On further research I believe that it powers at 90 watts driving 2 channels. It is the AVR S930H.

I admit I'm a wattage and power nube. The answers so far just confuse me. I have a 125 Watt x 7 channel receiver from Denon. I'd like to get the rp-160M speakers. The simple question is: Is that a good pairing or is the amp too powerful for these speakers?

It is a rental. So, I don't have the option of modifying any ceiling or beams.

I currently have a 5.1 system and am looking at adding a pair of Klipsch RP-140SA atmos enabled elevation speakers to the top of my two front bookshelf speakers. What I'm unsure of is if they will bounce effectively off of my somewhat vaulted ceiling. I'm especially wondering if the sound will make it from the speakers past the plaster beam and fan and down to the listening position on the couch. Or will the ceiling beam effectively block the bounced sound away from the couch? It feels like the cross beam is exactly where the angled beam of sound would be hitting the ceiling. I'm uploading 2 photos of the room. The speakers are on either side of the TV. In one photo 1 speaker has a blue potted plant on it an the other has a small lamp on it on the right side of the photo. In the other photo the TV with a speaker on either side is to the left of the big windows. Any thoughts about if upfiring speakers will get the job done in this room? I have a Denon AVR S930H Receiver that I can run the Audessey speaker setup program on.
