mattSER Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 The RP-280FA come in nice wood veneer finishes. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomnymods Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 for my setup I bought two RP-280FA's for the front and two CDT-5800-C-II's to go into the ceiling behind the couch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay and my question is: have you ever try to disconnect the 2 behind you leaving just the FA on ??? Have you heard some Atmos sounds???

fuzzydog Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 How high are your ceilings and how far back will you sit from your speakers? These would be factors in how well the RP-280FA's would perform against the in-ceiling models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) The ceiling speakers are more aggressive and direct, especially up high. It's cool on some effects like flyovers but annoying on others where there is sustained high frequency effects. I'm about to swap my CDT-5800's out for the pro's with the soft dome tweeters due to this. If you only put two ceiling speakers in, make sure you get them out in front of you a little. The Dolby speaker layout recommendations are a little misleading. Don't put them straight up.

Jay L Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 The 280FA is fantastic at throwing the image above you. I have only those in my Atmos system at home. I say they work great on their own. P.S. Not only am I a user, am also the inventor. Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) As mentioned on the other thread, I'd go with the RP-280-FA, especially considering the promotion going on right now, just a killer deal on the walnut ones. I've had those on hand before, they are gorgeous. The veneer alone makes it worth going in that direction, way nicer than the normal ones.
