9ft flat ceilings.

My apologies, I should have mentioned these details as well. Room size is about 300 ft² but the whole floor is open concept and is open to an additional 800 ft² of space. I would wager 70/30 for Movies/Music. When we play music, we like to crank it in order to hear around the whole house. These RP's are basically my end-game speakers, I am quite happy with them, and now looking to fill in the gaps where I can, whether that be room correction (limited due to open concept), amplifiers, atmos speakers, etc. I feel the next best step would be to add a power amp for the L/R before adding any additional speakers and move forward from there. Thanks for all the input thusfar.

I've gone down the rabbit hole of separates vs receivers and came out the other end with more questions than answers and was hoiping I could get some community feedback. My current setup is as follows: Mains: RP-8000F Center: RP-504C Surrounds: RP-402S Receiver: Denon X3500H Sub: SVS PB-2000 I'm planning on adding atmos modules in the near future. I'm currently debating on adding a Crown XLS 1502 into the mix to take some load off the receiver and to see if I can gain a noticeable improvement with what the RP-8000F's can offer. For those who added a separate amp into their setups, I would love to know what your experiences have been and whether adding an amp should be my next step into finessing my setup. Thanks in advanced.

Looks like I'm keeping the grills on them until I can upgrade lol.

Hi everyone, I've recently decided to pick up an RP-160m that was on sale as an upgrade and change of sound from my old Elacs. I was in the hunt for a 450c but everywhere is sold out, including used. I was finally able to locate one at nearby location and was able to order it. Unfortunately it was actually out of stock but the company graciously upgraded me to a RP-504c instead As I understand, this is Klipsch's new RP line. My question is, will there be a problem mixing the fronts L/R 160m's with the new 504c center channel? I know I'm supposed to timbre match but I cannot afford upgrading to the 600m at the moment. Can anyone tell me if there is a discernible difference between the two lines? Thank you.
