Undertaker Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I am getting ready to move into a new construction home pre wired for in ceiling speakers. There are 3 pre wires in the front of the room and 2 in the rear. The living room is 17'8 x 16'6 and is an open floor plan into the kitchen/dining. I currently have a pair of 6 1/2" floor standing speakers and need to know which in ceiling speakers I should pair with these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hello from the graveyard undertaker. Welcome to the forum. I am taking it that the 3 top speaker are a center, left and right. Do you have the RF 62's? What configurations are you wanting to run? Are you considering a center down low closer to ear level? Ceiling speakers are fine for Atmos and Front Height. Most of us would not want the center or mains on the ceiling. I would consider some 6 1/2 to 8 in. ceiling speakers that pivoit. I don't have Klipsch in the ceiling but use another brand for Atmos and FH. I am glad I went 8 in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undertaker Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Thanks for the welcome. I'm currently running a 7.1 setup with a set of quintets. The pre wire is a left right and centers so yea my thought was to keep my floor speakers and get a center speaker and just use the front and back left/right ceiling speakers. Im really just now learning of all the different options for a true surround sound set up. Im in a small apartment right now so my options were pretty slim as for mounting speakers/running wire so all the speakers now are on the entertainment center.
