busht4169 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 So I have recently upgraded from 5.1 to 5.1.4 using 4 Klipsch 140SA's. (Thanks NISMO) I have some extra amp channels available and am wondering if adding the two rear channels would really affect my sound field in a meaningful and noticeable way? My surrounds are 160M Reference Premiere Series and have no shortage of punch. Then they have 140SA on top as do my large fronts (280F's) I am not using 5 channels between my SC-91 Pioneer Elite and Marantz M8077 7-channel amp. I have free power basically. Again, if it doesn't add a meaningful amount of sound, just let me know please. Ceiling height is around 8.5 Feet. Room is 20L x 14W x 8.5H. So not the largest room. But not tiny either.

Paducah Home Theater Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Everything I've read said that when being able to freely switch back and forth such as in a Dolby demo, those back/7.1 channel speakers were negligible, that having rear Atmos was much more noticeable. For whatever that's worth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
