madmatrix Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I know CDT-5800-C is a good in-ceiling speaker. But is it good for LCR or only good for surround speaker? Please help. Thanks a lot. Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesV Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I'm sure if you are only able to use ceiling speakers they would be fine. With being able to pivot the speaker and rotate the tweeter I'm sure it will help you getting the sound to where you need it. You can always give customer service a call to see what they have to say on the matter. James Also, Welcome to the forum.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmatrix Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 James, I just recall another question: It seems all of the Klipsch archtecture speakers don't have enclouse on the back. In-wall and In-ceiling. Do you think that is worse than the enclosed one like Triad Bronze 8LCR, Definitive Techonlogy RSCII, or JBL LS360C. Their in-ceiling speakers all have enclosure. Is this the reason the Klipsch one cheaper than those? Thanks for your input and greeting. [] Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesV Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Klipsch does sell an enclosure for those speakers, HERE. Maybe bring that up with customer service tomorrow. Sorry but I don't know too much about the in-wall and in-ceiling speakers to give you an answer about which brand would be better.

jamesV Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 No problem Lou. Just trying to help out, do post back what they say. It would be great to learn what CS has to say about your questions. Hope everything works out for you. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Check with Professor Thump, Klipsch Employee. He did this in his Basement and it worked out just fine. http://community.klipsch.com/user/Profile.aspx?UserID=20592 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmatrix Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 I called product support and they said it's better to get in-wall speakers for LCR if I could. He doesn't recommend using CDT-5800-C for LCR. This is only good for surround. Now I'm confused. It seems professor Thump is happy with 5800-C for LCR? Can I talk to him? Thanks.

jamesV Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I called product support and they said it's better to get in-wall speakers for LCR if I could. He doesn't recommend using CDT-5800-C for LCR. This is only good for surround. I was thinking they were going to say that. The in-wall speakers are the matching main front speakers for your CDT-5800-C and that is why they suggested to go with those instead. Now I'm confused. It seems professor Thump is happy with 5800-C for LCR? Can I talk to him? Sure you can, Bill H posted the link so just click on that and click the send a PM (private message). Then you can ask your questions and he should answer you. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmatrix Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Thanks James. Yes, I did send email to Professor Thump. But he is out of office until July 19th. whoop. Too long. Need get some help somewhere else. Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesV Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Lou, Sorry to hear that Thump wasn't around to help you out. If you only option is ceiling speakers then go for it. As you read Thump really liked the outcome with his setup. So go for it and tell us what you think. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmatrix Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Where is the link to see the post by Thump about his setup? Thanks. I can't find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
