    In that case, I would actually just play the waiting game even though that wait might last a year. Let the real fun begin when you have your basement fresh and ready for work.

    Since you're adamant on not getting in-wall speakers, i'd go for option 3 here. Out of the options you have provided, number 3 places the speakers furthest in the rear. Even though I know its much more work, but I do think in-wall speakers would be a better and cleaner look, especially for the wife.

    Hi dj! Sorry, but don't have any experience with the specific products here, but do have experience with the situation. I myself have RP-280F as fronts and a RP-440C as center. The fronts have 8 inch woofers, and the center have 4 inch woofers. A difference of 4 inches in woofer-size from fronts to center. Can't say I've noticed any lack of bass when it comes to the woofers. It blends quite well. I therefore don't think you will be disappointed in getting the RP-500C instead of the 600C when the difference is only 1.25 inches. However, if you do feel that the center speaker you choose is lacking in some way, keep in mind that it's normal to turn up the db of the center ch after calibrating your setup either manually or through room correction software. Hope this helps!

    I feel like this isnt clear in this thread so i just have to clarify... Atmos speakers are either in-ceiling or on top of other speakers firing up to the ceiling and bouncing of it down to your ears from above. Because of the type of ceiling you have, the atmos-bouncing-speakers isnt an option sadly. You say you want to use rp600m as atmos speakers. That would mean mounting them on the ceiling angled down. Its not impossible, but just not recommended. The rp600m dont have a dedicated mounting-slot on the back like you see on the rp500m. Even with that mounting-slot, it wouldn't be enough to mount on ceiling. I'd rather construct enclosures on the sides of the cathedral ceiling and mount in-ceiling speakers onto those enclosures

    When matching up fronts and centers, I've found that I get the best match when the amount of woofers on the fronts equal the amount on the center

    Sorry, couldn't find anyone that have measured the rf7III... Although i think its safe to say that the the rf7III is better than the rp8000f. I gotta say, I hope you're not thinking of mounting the 600Ms on the ceiling....

    Well... that really depends on the movie you're watching. But when you have a movie that utilizes the height channels, you will notice the difference. If you're asking if its worth getting, I would say it is.

    The up-firing speakers aren't a gimmick. They do in some cases work, but not at all times. It depends on your room and reflection points. For TRUE atmos experience, get in-ceiling speakers

    Hi there Your sub is a 150W/300W sub. The 240W on the back panel is just the subs power consumption, not the amplifiers output.

    Anyone else wishing that Klipsch made something like this for their bookshelf speakers?

    When you listen to music, do you activate pure direct?

    Hi Leo! Im no expert here aswell, and I don't really know if speaker quality have had any big revolutions these past 20yrs. But your speakers are quite old and so are your subs. If one of the subs are starting to make crackling-noise, its probably the foam membrane thats had a crack. Check under the sub and see for yourself, i might be wrong. But thats an easy fix. Other than that, it would seem that your sf2 is working fine apart from your want of more "umpf" from the woofers. That is easily adjustable with the bass-knob on your receiver/amp. Make sure tone defeat is turned off when using treble, bass, loudness - knobs. I myself see no apparent reason to do anything with the system you already got, unless of course you feel a need to upgrade, which is fine of course. I'd recommend going to hifi stores and try to see if you could test other klipsch speaker that you might have your eyes on.

    @avguytx @wuzzzer @billybob @willland Thank you all for the sound advice!

    I thought I would run the risk of overpowering with a receiver with less ohm than my speakers. Or am I misinformed?
  15. HenrikTJ
    Hi people! I'm in need of a receiver and have landed on either an Onkyo tx-nr686 or the tx-rz830. I've seen the spec sheets and seen that they do a certain amount of watts for ohm rating from 4 to 6 to 8. On the other hand, i've seen a couple of setup menu videos where its only possible to set speaker impedance to either 4 or 6 ohm. Seeing as my klipsch speakers are rated to 8 ohm, would I have a problem with these Onkyo receivers?

    Hi I've gotten a great offer for a pair of P-39Fs. The only problem is that Klipsch differentiates between a left and a right speaker in their product list. The seller says his pair consists of two left speakers. From what I could see visually and spec-wise, there is no apparent difference, apart from the woofer tubes being both on the left side of the speakers. Does it make a difference that the speakers are both left speakers?

    What size screw does those come in??

    Its just a normal parquet floor with different shades of brown pieces of wood attached together. Yes, in addition to spikes and those little circles, I also had isolation bases in mind. But if simple furniture sliders have the same effect, then that would certainly be a much cheaper solution. Thanks. woops, meant to quote you on this one glens haha

    Hi Do I need to decouple/isolate the 2015 RP-line speakers seeing as though they already have a base attached to the bottom of the speaker? (My floor is parquet)
  20. HenrikTJ
    Hi Cpt You've got to remember that even though its rated to 85W, you're probably not even getting half that... Its all about true wattage or the RMS. Sadly, no spec sheet will give us this information.

    Haha ill keep it in mind, thanks for the help!
  22. HenrikTJ
    Yes, ill keep that in mind, but to be honest, it would be nice to just have a receiver with hdmi capabilities. I've only been using my system for music because thats how I came in to this hifi-world, but ive recently started to branch out to the home theater scene... Guess I have some re-evaluation to do
  23. HenrikTJ
    I'll admit, my receiver is as old as I am (21), so maybe time to up my receiver game

    Hi I've searched far and wide for an answer to this, but haven't had any luck yet... Is there a receiver on the market which lets me play music through more than only two channels? I don't want to play it in surround, because music through surround mode gives zero sound. I want the sound that normally comes through the two front channels to come through my entire 5.1 setup. In regards to this, im not interested in downloading software that enables music services such as spotify to play with 5.1 or adding amps to my system. Im asking if there is a "all-in-one" solution, such as a receiver, that lets me play music through more than two channels?

    Hi I opened a ticket at the Klipsch Support page over a week ago (24/01-19). I still haven't gotten any answer. Does it normally take this long or should I do something about it?
