Than goodness for this new dark theme, or anything other than that default one. That was killing me. I haven't had a headache like that since George Michaels- Careless Whisper took over the airwaves! Good God man who's suppose to be able to read like that for more than 30 seconds anyway. That last page I saw before switching over is still burned into my vision!

Wow completely forgot about this post. Guessing it was too lame for any to answer? Anyway it's been awhile and I have undergone several upgrades and a huge learning curve with all this stuff. I didn't care for the Atmos much so after getting an AVR that was compatible and some speakers to try it out I scrapped the idea and sold the equipment and basically started over. I got an Onkyo TX'-NR6050 and a pair of R-610Fs to start with. I next got a pair of R-620Fs to replace the 610s at front. I think the 610s sound better so I sold the 620s and got a pair of R-41Ms. Those didn't do much for me so I got the R-51Ms and an R-25C then to an R-52C. For fronts I am now at R-800Fs, surrounds are R-50Ms and now R-610Fs are behind me with a pair of R-12SWs for the low stuff. I'm pretty happy with the way things sound so I'm just going to keep this setup as is for awhile.

I know I know... I'm digging up another old thread. Sorry it's just how things go for me. Worse things have and will happen. So I got a pair of R-610Fs and there is some minor damage from shipping on the top corners of both speakers. I really don't want to wait for another return, it's obvious that UPS can't get them here without damaging them,this being the 3rd try, and it is minor. I'm getting a partial refund instead of waiting another week to 10 days for these speakers just to have them damaged yet again and possibly worse. I can fix the MDF easily but I don't know if it's possible to repair the vinyl or if it is how to fix it. I have ideas but most of the time I'm better off finding solutions which already exist. This thread came up in my search but not a lot else. Klipsch has to get the vinyl from a supplier I doubt they make it in house although I suppose it's possible but even if so there must be a way to get some. Any input on this? I'm not about to carve grains into the filler I use to repair the wood and try to match a pigment to a $300 pair of rear surround speakers unless there is absolutely no other choice which I would find very hard to believe.

I have a decent 5.1 system and am looking to upgrade. My current speaker system is Jamo 5.0 S-803 HCS + Elac SUB_1010 10". I'm looking at my upgrade optoions. My 5.1 receiver is still good but I am going to get either a 5.2.2 or 7.2 as mine doesn't have Atmos, add another sub and Atmos speakers. I like the Jamo brand and would like to add 2 towers with the Atmos top mounts (S-809 + ATM-50 Atmos) and mount 2 more to the top of my existing S-803 fronts, which will be relocated to the rear surround position. If I get what I'm considering, the 809s would replace the 803s as fronts with the Atmos units on top, the 803s would replace the 801s as the rears with either another pair of the ATM-50s or the S-8 ATM mounted atop and a J-12 for the second sub. If I'm correct, this system configuration would eliminate my 801s, whereas if I went with a 7.2 receiver I would be able to use them? Or do I have to go to a 9.2 system? And is it going to work with a second pair of Atmos speakers at the rear?
