happythanh Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hello all from newbie from Vietnam, I am running a 7.1 Klipsch system include: - front: 2 x RF7II - center: 1 x RC64C - surrounds:2 x RS62 II - surround back: 2x RB81II Now I would like to upgrade my system to Atmos 7.1.4, I prefer to mount the speakers on the ceiling. I prefer to use 2 pairs of RP-250S but my Klipsch AD here in Vietnam said these speakers are not good for on-ceiling Atmos because the dispersion is not good, the buyer ( Klipsch dealer) recommend to use the in-ceiling speaker such as Jamo IC408LCR FG with wide sound dispersion ( about 120 degree). Experts ! pls help me to choose or tell me the pros and cons between RP-250S vs in-Ceiling speakers vs bookself speakers such as RP-160M for x.x.4 Atmos speakers. Thanks you guys very much.

Nitemare Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) Hey, why not the Klipsch RP-140SA? They are Atmos Speakers. Why do they have to be in the ceiling when you can just put them on your RF7. They look pretty cool Edited June 30, 2016 by Nitemare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look pretty cool these would be the last option for people who can't use in ceiling. On ceiling will trump these every time. Plus I've heard from a few that tiny 140's have a hard time keeping up with the rf-7ii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happythanh Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Thanks you guys for reply. @Scrappydue: so which speakers will be the best option in my case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agile1966 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Welcome Happy!!! Those Jamo's are very similar to the Klipsch that I am using. (See signature). I have been happy with mine. I wouldn't go overboard putting in speakers with the amount of content that is sent to the speakers. I have heard mine in stereo mode and they sound fine. All that is needed for Atmos IMHO.

Scrappydue Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Thanks you guys for reply. @Scrappydue: so which speakers will be the best option in my case? i would get the largest Klipsch in ceiling reference model you could. Don't keep up with their number. Something like cdt-5800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivervalleymgb Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I have thought of using Frazier 12-4H for ceiling speakers for an all Heritage system. Those Fraziers are about as close as you can get for a Heritage ceiling speaker. The problem will be in framing in the big Fraziers. Just my thinking out loud....

Paducah Home Theater Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Personally I'd look at the pro models which are rebadged Jamo's, or actual Jamo's if possible, the ones with the soft dome tweeter. The 5800's are a bit aggressive up high in my opinion. Edited July 8, 2016 by MetropolisLakeOutfitters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
