tforgan Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hi everyone, I would like to seek some opinions on a home theater we are building. We will be putting three (3) 5000 Series Reference In-wall speakers behind an acoustically transparent screen. The room size is medium - about 16 deep and 14 wide. I'm stuck on what speakers to put behind the screen, either three R-5800-W II, R-5650-W II or R-5502-W II (or maybe a combination of them). I have talked to a few people and have a few opinions as well as my own. But I wanted to put this out here in the Klipsch home theater community to see if anyone has some great suggestions or comments about the pros and cons of each speaker model and get some educated and/or experienced comments. If it helps, I will be building a Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 setup with a pair of R-5650-S II for the side surrounds, a pair of CDT-56540-C II in the ceiling and a R-110SW subwoofer. I will be using a Yamaha RX-A1050 AVR. Thanks for your help!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Go with matching set no matter what! Vertical orientation no matter what! Save up and get you a bigger sub. Go with the 15". It can be had for 550-600$ brand new. No offense to anyone who might own it but I've owned the R-110sw and it's not a very good sub. Doesn't dig deep and doesn't have much output. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get three of the 5800's, they will dig the deepest. Although, if you're interested in Atmos and are going in-wall anyway, I'd just get direct firing sides that will match the mains, which is what you're supposed to do according to Dolby anyway, then get those 8" ceiling speakers. Don't get those surround speakers, just get five of the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
