[in-cieling speakers comparison / reality]

Sorry folks, never got notifications of updates to this thread until now. 

I plan to upgrade my AVR to an onkyo ZR50, or maybe a sony 5000ES. 

Something along those lines. 

 

Thanks for your advice regarding not skimping on atmos speakers. 

[in-cieling speakers comparison / reality]

Hi all, 

 

a local has 4 x CDT-5650-C II for sale, BNIB at below half price retail.

For a  little less after taxes  (so new obviously) i can get 4 x CS-16C-II ... without even shopping around. So, probably save some cash if i wait for a sale, or shop aggressively. 

 

For those that have gone the atmos in-ceiling route, does one really benefit from better speakers up there?

Should i just get the cheapest Klipsch (to at least kind of match tonally my RF64/RC64/RS52/RB15) 7.1 atmos upgrade starting point?

 

fwiw, the BNIB 5650s can be opened and tested prior to purchase, so not too worried about that aspect.

 

Thanks,

Andrew
