You will love the dual pb2000 pros. I'm still amazed at the sb2000's, i have limited space & right now they are mostly for music so i went with sealed vs ported, the ported go a few hz lower but have a lot more db for overall output. Spend some time setting them up & look into the "sub crawl" procedure or go to the next level & get a mini DSP to really dial them in.
I am very limited on space, especially with how big the svs sounds are, so I have to just do the best I can. I can either put them on both sides of the tv stand, between the stand and main speakers, or one between the stand and left front speaker, and the other a few feet behind the couch on the right side. My living room and floor plan is not symmetrical at all, so I'm trying the best I can. I do plan on getting the Umik-1 and REW. I need to look into that more tho.

I ended up ordering 2 SVS pb2000 pros today. I'm going to return my Klipsch SPL-100. Only costing me $10 to ship back. I statred talking military to SVS and they gave me 5% off for veteran discount, plus you get $100 off ordering dual subs. Great people to talk to and deal with there. After doing the math with tax, 2 of the klipsch spl-120 subs, while on sale, compared to 2 SVS subs I ordered was only $615 dollar difference. $308 more a sub for the SVS, and that was with Klipsch being on sale. They won't be here until the end of the month tho.... on back order.

Indeed the ceiling fan. We are in the same dilemma!
I am going to attempt to move my ceiling fan this weekend. It will be centered between the 2 front ceiling mounted speakers. I am actually mounting 4 klipsch 500sa speakers upside down with the angle pointing toward the mlp. Doing it this way with moving the fan will get me really close to the 45 degrees Dolby recommends. I'll have to post updates and pictures, and performance when it's all done.

If it was not for the used market, I would not be sitting on close to $20,000.00 "worth" of gear and speakers right now. Of the close to maybe 200 used audio/video items I have purchased or traded for over the years, maybe a half a dozen have failed in some way in the 13 years.
Where is your location?

no , plus if you watch the garage sale , you might find what you need and at great low , if not bargain prices --and in great condition -----just be patient for the product that would sell on this forum , to be in your area ----welcome to this forum ----
That's a good point on used, but I'm questionable about buying used stuff. Plus I have a limited amount of time to return my spl-100 I have.

Oh my gosh yes. Let's see, the Klipsch is rated to 24Hz. They don't give the +-3dB spec which means it's really maybe flat to 27-28Hz or so (I'm guessing). The SVS has an actual + - 3dh spec of 16Hz. so you're probably getting an extra half octave more output. The SVS has a PEQ and can actually be controlled by a phone ap if desired. The Klipsch has standard phase and gain adjustment. 5 year full warranty on the SVS and only a 2 year warranty on the Klipsch amp which have been known to be suspect. You're also comparing a sale price to a normal retail price. I think that SVS has a 30 day no questions asked return policy but don't quote me on that. These are 2 different classes of sub.
Thank you for the reply. I'm sorry if my questions are dumb. I'm new to this and I don't know anyone personally with a home theater setup. And I can't test anything at local shops cause they are all closed still due to COVID. I am coming from a 15 year old Paradigm 5.1 in a box set up with satellites and 8 inch woofer. The 8inch woofer is almost as good as the klipsch spl-100 I have.

Between the two the SVS will completely blow the Klipsch away.
That's what I think also, but is it $800 better?

Welcome to the forum. It's certainly not necessary to match subwoofer brands with your mains. As far as HT is concerned, the 2 most important channels are your center and LFE. You should always get the best that you can afford in those two areas to optimize the HT experience.
That's what I've been hearing. Do you think the 500c center is good? I had the r34c and thought it was terrible and returned it and all my reference speakers and got all premiere series speakers. Way better in my opinion.
As far as the subwoofers go, the sale ends today on the Klipsch through crutchfield website and the spl-120 is $517 right now. The SVS are $900. I want 2 of each, just cant decide if the price jump is worth it. The klipsch will match aesthetically, and slightly smaller than SVS so it will fit better where I have to put them. However, I know people love SVS, and I can make it work in the same location, it will just stick out 3 more inches. I have seen bad reviews on older Klipsch subwoofer amps, but not much on the SPL line. Are the amps better, same, weak? I know my SPL-100 will set my window alarm off when watching Dolby test videos, or have volume cranked with techno music, but regular movies and music, the bass is lacking. I'm not certain 2 12 inch klipsch and 100 watts more, and 3hz lower will make a huge difference. Sorry for all the rambling, I'm new to most of this stuff and have no way to hear things in person with COVID restrictions.

I've actually been considering mounting the 4 rp500sa's upside down to the ceiling so the are almost like in ceiling speakers without cutting holes in my ceiling. Still utilize the 45degrees front and rear like dolby suggests, and have them flat on the ceiling with the angle pointing toward the mlp. Any thoughts on this? Or should I just mount them as 4 height speakers for atmos use? The fronts will be 8 ft in front of me while the backs only a few feet if I mount them as height speakers.

Hi,
I am looking to upgrade me 7.1 to a 7.1.4. And I am contemplating between these 2 config. I had measured the degrees to what it will be if mounted to my front wall or ceiling.
I understand this boils down to preference, but what do you guys prefer?
Top fronts?
or Front heights?
I'm in a very similar situation myself with almost the same exact angles as you. I have the klipsch rp-500sa speakers and have been wondering the same. I have been thinking of actually mounting the 500sa speakers upside down on the ceiling, as in having the rubber feet on the roof. I have to move my ceiling fan 2ft to get the perfect 45 degrees tho. I don't want to cut 5 holes in my ceiling, 4 for speakers and 1 to move the fan, so I'm considering the 2 fronts up high and the 2 back mounted to the ceiling, or all 4 set up as height speakers for atmos.

Thank you! I figured this would be the best place to get info on my Klipsch products. Glad to be a part of the community now.

Hello everyone. New to home theater and this forum. Im setting up a 5.2.4 theater in my living room. Currently have Yamaha aventage 3080, Klipsch RP-6000F, RP-500C, RP-500M, RP-500SA and one SPL-100. I will say I'm a little OCD and wanted the matching sub, but I am a little unimpressed with the spl-100.. My plan was to use 2 of them, but started reading some not so good things about the Klipsch subs on other forums. I noticed they don't go down very low in hz. Would you all think 2 spl-120s would a great setup vs 2 spl-100 or is it worth spending $800 more for dual SVS pb2000 pros? My floor plan is semi open. Open on one side and half the back is half open to a halfway and other parts of the house.
Spl-120 vs SVS Pb2000 pro?

Good to hear. The klipsch SPL-100 I have lacks for music. It's decent for techno music or Dolby atmos demos, but it lack in music and normal movies.
