If you have room on the sides, A over B always. 

I believe sides as well. However the WDST will be paced 16" away from the rear wall on the side. Is that enough space?

I have the same issue. What did you end up doing to yours?

I too am intrested in what your end setup looks like.

Well, I just answered my own question concerning placement.  Go figure, I looked in the User Manual for the Reference Premiere, what a novel idea!

 

"Klipsch WDST surround speakers should be placed approximately 2 feet above the listening position.  Typically this will be 5-7 feet above the floor.  The surrounds should be placed on walls directly adjacent to the listening position.  Another option would be on the wall behind the listening position.  The final surround speaker placement depends on your room's characteristics.  They are designed to recreate the sense of space and ambiance that many in today's surround sound technologies provide."  

 

Sorry to revive your old post. However, do you mind telling me what your final setup is?

I am asking because, as I have mentioned in another post, I am in a situation where I mostly likely need to put my surrounds.

 

[Placement for RP-402s and Ceiling Speakers]

Hi everyone!

 

I am getting my 5.1.4 system delivered and installed soon into a L4.1xW3.9m room (13'5" x 12'9"). I will have in a few days RP-6000F / RP-500c / RP-402s / SPL-120 and 4 non-Klipsche ceiling speakers.

 

I went for the RP-402s due to not having much room to play with. At the moment the listening position is 1.10m (3'7") away from the back wall this distance may improve to by another 20cm (8") as we don't know which way the aircon pipe goes in the ceiling in which I will have 4 more ceiling speakers put in.

 

Now, I believe I have 2 choices ('A' & 'B') of placing the RP-402s.

Do I go with:

• Option A and have the speakers on the side wall, it is rather close (15") to the back wall , will I get much issue with bounce back from the back walls, or
• Option B (suggested by the shop), then do I defeat the purpose of having surrounds because the sound would com from the back?

Or, does it not matter because WDST will create the listening zones well enough?

 

Also with ceiling speakers, how dead center does the center listener need to be with where the 4 speakers will be as suggested by Dolby?

I was suggested by the shop to place them at the 1/3 or 2/3 positioning in the room, so that one pair will be above and another will be 4 feet in front of listening position, and Audessey will work out the levels and Atmos or DTS-X will work out what sound to play. How far apart do the atmos speakers need to be?

 

What are some of the experiences you have with placing RP-402s and ceiling speakers in general?

 

Thanks you all,

Andy
