[Lets see YOUR Home Theater:]

I ended up picking up another PC2000 pro and moving my SPL 120 to my office. 

 

Living Room: TV:Sony 65 inch 4k 65X850F, Denon X6500 ,LR: Klipsch RP 8000Fs, 😄 Klipsch RP 450C, S: Polk Monitor 60 IIs, BS: Polk Monitor 50 IIs, H: 4 Polk RC80i, Subs: 2 SVS PC 2000 Pro

[Seven RP-8000f a bad idea for a 7.2 setup?]

Probably a little bit overkill but it will still sound great. I don't think you would run into a problem where the surrounds would be too loud for people sitting at the end or anything. 

[Three 8000fs for L/C/R or Two 8000f and One 504c?]

You're 100% correct with your theory. That was the plan. But, family doesn't like that area being too cluttered. So I may just store the 8000s until I move out and stick with the 600s and 504c for now.

Although, now I'm wondering if simply elevating the screen 15 inches would do the trick. Then I could get rid of the table and just put 3 8000s under the screen.

Joe --

1. I'm curious, did you do any manual EQ with your 450c? The 504c is very nice, but the highs have too much shrill for my taste.

2. Also, how is the sound dispersion for you? Do you find the 450c being too 'narrow' of a sweet spot? If so, does that annoy you?

 

 

1. I just ran Audyssey and bumped the center level a bit from what it set.

2. My room isn't that big but it sounds good enough if I sit on the love seat versus the couch. Usually I always sit in the prime spot lol. 

[Rp-600m]

What speakers are you using now for your fronts?

Unfortunantley no, this is how my current set-up looks like (2 600ms and a 504c). I gotta figure out a way to do 3 8000s without blocking the screen lol. I guess I'd gotta get a transparent screen.

I would just start with 2 8000Fs for now and use the 504C for center. It will still sound awesome. I have 2 RP 8000s and a RP 450c and it sounds great.  I take it you are planning on moving the screen to the right so you don't have a tower pretty much in the hallway? Are you moving the 600 Ms to surrounds?

[Three 8000fs for L/C/R or Two 8000f and One 504c?]

Are you using an acoustically transparent screen? I would only get the 504C if you are limited by a TV etc.

[Planning new home theatre...here are my speaker choices so far:]

Personally I would go with a bigger sub or 2 of them.

Why pick another company for the subwoofer. Wouldn’t the Klipsch R-120SW (for instance) sound and look better than the SVS woofer? Just wondering?

SVS subs are better then Klipsch subs. I replaced my SPL120 with a PC2000 pro and it is a sizeable difference at low frequencies.

Still available.

Like new Klipsch SPL 120 with SVS Isolator feet. Purchased new back in December 20. $425 OBO

[Recommendation for Surrounds needed]

I would get some RP 500 or 400s. They should be ear level at 110-120 degrees behind and to the side of the main listening position.

[Denon AVR-X4500H power capabilities]

I think you are fine with the Denon. I think you would blow your ear drums before you ran out of power for your speakers. 

[Help Require to setup my home theater]

Set the speakers to small and a crossover of 60hz for the 280Fs and 80hz for everything else. I would also bump the sub to like -2 with the gain at halfway. I ended up bumping the speaker levels too. Audyessy sets it for running at reference volume which i rarely do. 

[The last Blu-ray you watched.]

I watched Mad Max Fury Road to test our my new ceiling atmos speakers. 

[Klipsch or SVS]

I would go SVS. You can always turn a sub down. Plus if you ever move, you will probably like having the beefier sub. 

[Mixing Reference and Reference Premiere]

I would go premier line in the front and move the R820Fs to surrounds. I have found that speaker matching isn't as important for surrounds and atmos speakers. 

[Crossover setting for home theater]

I have found that YPAO and Audyessy love to set the sub super low. I always have to crank it from -10 to like -2. I keep my sub with the gain at 50%. 

[Crossover setting for receivers for klipsch rp speakers]

I have my RP 8000s set at 60hz and RP 450 C set at 80hz. 

[Need suggestion for home theatre speakers and Av receiver]

I am using RP 450C and a pair of RP 8000s for my front stage and it sounds really nice. I am using a Denon X6500 to power my 7.1.4 system. I bought in refurbished on accessories4less.com. 

[Advice on completing all-klipsch 5.1 setup]

What is the budget? 

[Lets see YOUR Home Theater:]

I finally got my ceiling speakers installed to make my living room 7.1.4. The next upgrade would probably be a beefier sub or two.

 

Front: Klipcsh RP 8000F and RP 450 C

Sub: SPL120

Surround: My old Yamaha AX200i's which  used to be my fronts.

Rear Surround: Polk Monitor 50 IIs which used to be my old surrounds.

Ceiling: 4X Polk RC80is.

Receiver: Refurbed Denon X6500 from Accessories 4 less.

[Setting up Dolby Atmos speakers]

If you have a sub, I would set all the speakers to small. 

[Ok, most people argree that Bose sucks but what about Bang & Olufsen?]

I never really knew about B&O until I saw their badge on my car speakers. 

[Tax Time Improvements (coming from a 3.1, R/RP mix)]

The RP450C which has been on a EOL special for 399 would be a nice center upgrade that would be matched to your RP 250F's. Upgrading the RP 250F's would probably blow your budget.
