sorry to blow some dust of an old topic... I recently upgraded my Jamo speaker set from the Studio line with the Klipsch Reference Premiere line, and now also threw a pair of front height speakers in the mix to get 7.2.2. Klipsch could have done a better job at explaining how to properly set the RP-500SA as front heights. All they mention is using them as up-firing Atmos-enabled speakers or as side/rear surrounds. I already did some research and the consensus seems to be to change the switch on the back to from 'Atmos' to 'Surr'. The default 'Atmos' setting supposedly enables a cross-over suited for bouncing sound off the ceiling. Changing it to 'Surr' would by-pass that. What's not quite clear to me though is what the proper cross-over frequency should be. As my subs do the heavy lifting in the lower frequencies, I set the cross-over for the speakers to 150% of their rated specs, with a minimum of 80Hz. So 80Hz for the towers, and 90Hz for the rest. The spec sheet for the RP-500SA's don't mention a frequency response though. Only 'Conforms to Dolby Atmos Specifications'. Although they also have a 5.25" driver, I imagine they'll not go as low as others in the RP line as their cabinet is smaller. So do I put their cross-over at 100Hz? 120Hz maybe? 150Hz - as mentioned when used as up-firing Atmos-enabled speakers - seems a bit too high for front heights. My setup: Receiver: Denon AVC-X3700H Front: RP-8000F Center: RP-504C Surround: RP-502S Rear: RP-500M Front height: RP-500SA Subs: 2x SVS SB2000
