shake777 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 We all saw the nice review on the P17 and I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the P27 and could pass that along. Thanks, Shake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shake777 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Obviously, I'm thinking of 7.4 (yes the four...sounds awesome) my concern is that the P27S is going to give me too much information that is not directed in an understandible way, too dispersed. I think the safe thing is to use P17 speakers. its just that the 27s are currently available. Oh well, I'll wait a while for a reply or two and then I'm going to give the 27s a shot. I can always sell them. Its it litlle kooky because the 5 main speaker system sounds great...really great. Thanks, Shake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shake777 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Klipsch Tech says go with the surround speakers rather than the P-17. I've decided to go with the 7.1 system mostly because I want to get the most out of my nearly new Sony CX7000ES. If there is anyone who has good knowledge of this player I'd appreciate it if you'd PM me. Thanks, Nic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skule Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hi Nic, Sorry for the late response, I have been travelling the last two weeks. As you probably remember I have a 7.1 system with two P17b's as sides and two P27s's as rears. The reason why my system is that way was really more space driven than anything else. The recommendations I got were the same as you are getting, use P27s's for both sides and rears. I know that you have seen my pictures and there you can see that I have windows on one side and open space on the other side of my seating area - so no place to hang the P27s's - I therefore ended up with using the P17b's as sides. If I had more than 5-6 feet of space behind the seating area I might actually have gone for P17b's as rears as well, and this is simply because I think the design is gorgeous (stupid I know). But as I only have about 1 foot between the couch and the rear wall I use the P27s's. What can I say about the sound? To me it is awesome. First of all I will say that moving from a 5.1 to a "proper" 7.1 - by proper I mean using sides and rears in addition to the fronts and center, not front wides or front highs - is amazing. The full immersion sound field created with 7.1 is just in a different leage than 5.1 if you ask me - especially now that a number of blurays are 7.1 or 6.1 (watched all the 6 Star Wars movies the other week - simply stunning). I cannot say that I think the P27s's disperse the sound too much - but then again I do sit quite close to them so my situation may not be all that compareable and relevant for you. My recommendation though is to try the P27s's if they are available - I do not think that you will be disappointed [] Good luck and let us know what you think!!

shake777 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Skule, Thanks for your response. I'm so glad I went with the P-27S as my system took a huge leap forward. The realism and opening up of the soundstage was dramatic. Good avice and once again, its such a delight to own Palladiums.

Skule Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 A delight indeed - we are priviliged. I must say I love every minute I spend with those beauties around me. Every night the missus is out the volume comes up and a good bluray gets a spin - and I am in heaven[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
