Hi. I've been looking forward to upgrade my 3.1 system to a 5.1 (and eventually 7.1, and so on). Currently I have a pair of r15m and rc62 II in a less than ideal room. So I have been reading about rear and surround speaker placement and functions either for music and home theater. I've reached to the following conclusions: - 3 types of speakers: monopole, diople and bipolar - in the past it appears that dipole was a good solution due to lack of object sound positioning. Now with Dolby Atmos it doesn't seem like the greatest choice - apparently, even today, in less than ideal rooms for perfect speaker placement, bipole/dipole speakers are a better option due to that lack of properly object sound positioning with monopole speakers. - for music purposes look for monopoles or higher end bipole/dipole speakers with better frequency range response in case of using multichannel stereo. - Klipsch has some models that appear to be a type of bipole/dipole speakers (models ending with an "s") and also Dolby Atmos specific speakers (models ending with "sa") and of course, monopole speakers (i.e, bookshelf's, floorstands, etc.). *My question: Klipsch claims that WDST (Wide Dispersion Surround Technology) available in -s ending models i e. Second picture (eg. r14s, rp402s...). Can provide object positioning which I infer that they can be suitable for Dolby Atmos home theater, BUT I can't find anywhere if exactly these speakers does actually give a truly good Atmos experience. Does anyone knows anything about this? Any experiences? Especially for less than ideal rooms. I appreciate your help. Here are some articles I found helpful https://www.crutchfield.com/learn/rear-surround-speakers.html https://support.klipsch.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025546612-Different-Types-of-Surround-Speakers -
Hi everyone! I’m interested in forum members thoughts on the situation I find myself in diving into my home theater build. I’m a long time klipsch lover and hifi audio system geek in general. After tossing around the idea of doing an all paradigm or all canton HT system I have finally decided that I just will not be too happy without that classic klipsch sound. My delema is should I go with an all legend series klf 30/20 for mains, side & rear surrounds, with klf c7’s as center and atmos front and rear height speakers which is what I had resolved to do. I currently have a pair of 30’s and I am planning on procuring another pair of 30’s this weekend. So I’ll have 4 of the six towers needed to get started. Then it’s just track down another pair and 5x c7’s (which are far more shipable than the towers). On the other hand I also have the opportunity to pick up a pristine pair of heresy 2’s and 3 pair of heresy 1’s that are in beater shape that need a ton of work. No matter the choice I will be doing crites upgrades on all of the speakers legends or heresies. Haven’t had any experience with crites upgrades, are heresy or legend upgrades more costly? Will there be a timbre matching difference between the heresy 1’s and 2’s after crites conversion? Also what would be the best recommendation on atmos speakers for the heresies? Theater room is about 28x30. Would drive the system with pioneer elite vsx-lx503 and b&k separate amps (on 5 channels). Plan on upgrading to either an arcam, marantz, or anthem processor in the future and finding the best amps for whichever series I go with. The heresies are gonna need a lot of restoration work but are available now. Legends I’m gonna have to go through the headache of tracking down and picking up/get shipped to me. What are you guys thoughts on which route to take, and why? Has anyone heard both an all legend and an all heresy home theatre? I helped a friend years ago set up an all legend series theatre which was amazing and that was back in the days of 5.1/6.1. (He got a pair of klf 30’s after babysitting mine for me for a month or so, then completed the full surround system) Btw having two pair of klf 30’s as extra stereo sets if I go with the heresy option is no problem and I have the gear to run two separate audiophile stereo configurations on the 30’s. Choices, choices, choices... Any thoughts, experiences, advice you guys have would be much appreciated.
