Thought it may be too big from front row, but nope, it is awesome. By the way, I have KPT-8001 surrounds as well and I love them. Bought some for atmos also but ended up using aw-650s instead. Yeah the 8001s aren't suited for ATMOS, at least in my application. I'll take a look at the AW-650s - thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I put the screen on the wall I'd like it, i'd would be very close to the floor. I'm thinking about changing my room around and mount the screen on a different wall where I could mount it as high off the floor as I'd like.

pat_in_dfw Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Why not use the Klipsch KA-1000-THX subwoofer amplifier? It seems like a good match for those subs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've stalled with my project, still trying to select a projector and screen. Meanwhile I'm loving my speakers. I had my first angry neighbor the other night, I forgot I had a window open. !! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Klipsch website it doesn't say anything about that and lists a price along with availability. http://www.klipsch.com/products/ka-1000-thx-amplifier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjptkd Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I wonder what filters were needed and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same type filters used in any ported sub with an integrated amp to protect the driver from overexcursion below the tuning frequency of the box. Sealed sub amps normally include boost at the bottom end to make up for the natural roll off of the enclosure type. Amps, drivers and enclosures are tuned as a unit.

Win68 Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 Pat I didn't check klipsch website directly. I believe i checked amazon. I'll have to catch up on the discussion of filters and if it's designed for my subs. I was also looking at the Dayton Audio SPA2400DSP which has plenty of power for both of my subs, however I'm not sure if its dsp is better than my audyssey on my marantz I'd also have to build an enclosure for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the filters could be bypassed. I've never used this amp so I'm not sure. In the spec sheet it said " The crossover can be bypassed to feed the amplifier directly from the subwoofer output of an A/V preamplifier, processor, or receiver." http://assets.klipsch.com/product-specsheets/ka-1000-thx-spec-sheet.pdf If I found one of these amps used at a decent price I'd like to try it in my theater. I'm using a QSC pro amp in bridged mono for my sub currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I believe they're referring to bypassing the amps front controls and using the crossover in your receiver. I was referring to what the amp sends to the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's an example of the side by side setup setup I was referring to, After reading what you said about the soundstage issue it makes sense.. Let me ask you about sub placing? I was planning on putting a KPT-418-SW between each KPT-435, which will push the 435s past the screen also. what would you recommend for sub placement? I'm not sure what size screen I'm going to go with, I haven't really started researching that very much yet. I'm thinking at least 120" tho. my wall is 18' and my viewing distance is 15' from the screen Attached is a rough mark up of my room I would try them on that 12' wall just to see. That looks to be what effective width is anyway on the 18' wall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
