[New Speaker Suggestions 7.2.4]

Looking for L/R surrounds to add to my current set up. Suggestions?

 

currently:

 

Front L/R = R-820F

Center = R-34C

Top Front = CDT-2650C

Top Rear = CDT 2650C

Surrounds = ?????

Surround Rear = R-51M

 

I really like the size/shape bi-directional aspects of the RP-250S and I can get a pretty good deal on them, but is it wrong to mix the RP with the R line?

 

Would the R-14S be a sufficient speaker for the job?

 

Or do I go with a directional speaker such as the R-41SA?

Just my personal opinion.

You already have the R series.

For surrounds & Atmos it makes more sense

to stay in the same line.

The RP is More expensive and to pay those

prices for Atmos is a waste of money.

They are just ambient speakers, I'd just stay within the line you own.

So the main reason the RP-250s appealed to me is due to the dual direction of the speakers. There doesnt seem to be anything offered like that in the reference lineup. How much of a difference is it from something like the R-14s and the RP-250s?

Thank you! That clears that part up

I suppose there is also the option of keeping the ceiling speakers as the rear surrounds and adding the R41SA's to the front as Atmos speakers.. 

 

What is a better experience; 5.2.2 or 7.2?

 

[Upgrade my 5.2 (Atmos?)]

I am looking to upgrade my current 5.2 speaker set up to at least a 5.2.2. I currently have two R-820 floor speakers, two  R-120SW, a R-34C and two speakers in the ceiling (came with the house).  I was using the speakers in the ceiling as the surround rears due to their location, just behind the listening position. I would like to use the ceiling speakers for Atmos (maybe even add two more to the front of the listening position) so therefor I need new surround speakers.

 

I am debating on placement and speaker selection. In wall? On wall? Bookshelf?

 

RS-52's vs RB-52's?

 

RP "Designer Wall Mount" speakers? Their slim profile is pretty appealing

How do the in wall/ceiling speakers compare to the rest of the Reference line? (ie. R-1650, R-1650 CSM or R-2650)

 

R-41SA vs R-51's?

 

Is it worth the jump to RP-402's?

 

Any suggestions would help! Thanks!
