So now I need advice on my rear speakers! Right now im running my r28f's as my rear channels. I am going to most likely sell those. I'm considering the rb-51, rb-41, and the rp150s. Should I mount these mid way up the wall or at the top of the ceiling an point them down? I have 2 Atmos Speakers, should i hang the rear one high so I can run Auro 3d? I still have limited knowledge on this but I'm not sure my best option.

God I love this forum, haha. I just bought my first set of Klipsch speakers early this year and its pretty dangerous so that is your fair warning. I started with the rc-25. upgraded to the rc62ii, and now have the 450c. Like everyone said before, just get the best you can afford. It cost me a lot more money making my way up to the 450. The 62ii was a really nice upgrade from the rc25. But to my ears the 450 (although has smaller woofers than the 62ii) is in a whole different class. Keep in mind i also upgraded my tower to the 280f so now they timbre match which im sure helped. Long story short as everyone else said get the best you can afford. I will most likely have a 64 here soon at my pace.

Looks like im going to go for the Denon x4400h. I did also considered the Marantz sr 6012, but i think i really just wanted the name.....seems like the Denon checks more boxes for me...if anyone feels like im wrong from personal experience please chime in.

Ok well that makes things a lot easier, haha. K5SS I know its probably more of a personal preference but would there be a reason you would choose Pioneer over Denon?

That makes sense. I'm probably going to pull the trigger on the Pioneer or the Denon X4400H (i assume its the newer version of the X4300H) they have it on Amazon for $899 right now. I've heard a lot of good things about Pioneer even though I've only owned Denon and Onkyo. It looks as though the Pioneer that you linked doesn't have Dolby vision? Is that something that i should care about? I have a feeling i know the answer but i have to ask anyway......My current AVR has all of the connectivity that i need but lacks the power. Would it makes sense at all to keep my current setup and buy an external amp? I assuming if it was as simple as that everyone would just buy cheap AVRs and have external amps.

I have a lot to learn but getting feedback from people that have experience is huge, so thank you. Forgive my ignorance, but will that Pioneer or Denon (that you suggested) have enough power for the Klipsch towers and the other speakers on its own? Or do i need to get the amp for those to play best to their capabilities?

Good Afternoon Everyone, Attempting to build my first HT in my new home. The room is above the garage and the dimensions are 26' x 13'. Below is a pic (sorry its not a great one but the only one i had on my phone). I recently made a few upgrades and I'm not sure my Denon AVRS730H is a good option anymore. I just upgraded my Reference line mains to the RP series. So right now my setup looks like this: Fronts: rp280f Center: rp450c sub: r115sw side surrounds: Fluance XLBP Atmos: Polk rc80i My question is do I have enough power to drive the system with that Denon or should i think about upgrading. The RP fronts are being delivered, so i haven't hooked them up yet and i didn't want to damage anything if they were not suitable. Another question. I don't have any rear surrounds currently because i thought the in-ceiling (atmos) speakers would suffice but i guess that was poor planning by me. Should i get rear speakers and a separate amp to drive my fronts and keep the Denon (bc its only a 7.2). Or should i just scrap that idea, bite the bullet and get a 9.2 if i want to add rears? Thanks for any input or if you have any other advice to improve my systems.....I'm all ears!
