Scrappydue Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Have you ordered anything yet? Have you got a price quote from mike at acoustic sound design? I'm wondering if the kl-7800 would be better than the 6504's. They look like they have a much larger horn. That will give you a bigger sound. Just a thought.

SuBXeRo Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) I would go for the bigger drivers and horn all around and the LCR THX for the center. I notice bigger sound from bigger drivers but thats my personal pref. Edited December 31, 2013 by SuBXeRo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Although I didn't think about will the tv be above the fireplace? Would all three speakers be on the same plane? If so I'd get the kl-7800's for the bigger horn and they are shorter. Unless you plan on the 6504 left and right and the horizontal one for center. Which to me kinda defeats the purpose of lcr as they are the same speaker but not positioned the same. Something about three fronts all being exactly the same. It's just magical.

tigerwoodKhorns Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 How about this guys.... I just buy the THX in wall speakers. Seeing that they are best in wall Klipsch has to offer. He will like that. And I believe they are better than the Reference Series. Correct? Front R/L would be KL-6504 Center KL-6502 Sides R/L KL-6502 Rear R/L KS-7800 Still need subs and a receiver. If I go over budget I will leave the side surround speakers out. YES or NO Myself, I'd keep the front L/C/R all KL-6504. Lucky fella... I was thinking about this. They will work fine for the L and R, but the center may take some doing. The cutout dimension for the 6504 is 27.25 wide if mounted sideways. Even the smaller 6502 speaker is over 16" wide, wider than the space between suds, especially on the first floor. The wall does not look like a load bearing wall because it it a pop out for the fireplace. It looks like a cross cut of the studs and a vertical header will be needed to mount the center in the wall. Easy stuff if you know how to do it and have a good circular saw and sawsall (and know it is not load bearing), but it can be a big deal if you do not know how to do this sort of thing. if the wall is load bearing, the mouting depth is under 4" so a decorative box can be built to be surface mounted. Something to think about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 7800 is smaller than the 6504 and will fit in between studs. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 7800 is smaller than the 6504 and will fit in between studs. ;-) The 7800 is intended for surround duty, I don't know how this would sound for a main. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asica335 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 The center speaker will not be on the same plane as the front speakers. The fireplace jog sticks out 24 or 28 inches from the back wall. Yes I have already ordered... kl-6504 for the fronts kl-6502 for the center ks-7800 for the sides kl-6502 for the rears and 2 svs sb13 ultra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asica335 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 I ordered kl-6502 for the center because the kl-6504 could be difficult to install being so wide. Since the picture was taken of the fireplace we have stoned the entire fireplace jog. Stoning it required some extra support. I don't know the specific of what was done. If he wants to match ill just have to get him another 6504. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Good for you, hope it all works out. Now you just need to capture his expression. Can't wait to see some photos of them installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller center will probably not fit between the studs. If you stoned the fireplace, adding the center will not be that hard. You will have to go back in and saw cut out a rectangle of stone to fit the center and probably build a small box to hold the center. May also need to pop out some drywall on the back drywall so the box isnt too small. I am assumign that you used cultured stone and not a sheet of marble or granite. This can be done very tastefully and fit in well with the stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
