Charles M Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Would a pair of Heresy's work good for atmos ? of course I would make stands to have them kind of laying down like monitors pointing to the ceiling . I can get a pair at a very good price? or would it be a waste of money Quote

Yes a pair of Heresys would work for Atmos. 3 hours ago, charles m said: would it be a waste of money Not a waste of money but IMO a waste of a great pair of speakers. I think Heresys have more value than just assigning them to Atmos duty. Bill Quote
Charles M Posted December 8, 2016 Author Posted December 8, 2016 Willland thanks for your info about the Heresys. Ya I was told it wouldn't work at a shop that sell Klipsch . They said that i should just buy the new RP-140SA. it would be a better choice. it sounds that the heresys would be an overkill ? Being a great set of speakers i would like to bring them into my system something old and great that would even make it sound outstanding but ,do you think it wouldn't make a difference over all ?

Charles M Posted December 8, 2016 Author Posted December 8, 2016 Oh the other speakers are TWO RF7 II RC 64 II CENTER TWO RP250S REARS KLIPSCH P-312 SUB Quote
willland Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 Unless I am just misreading your photo, I am a bit concerned about your RC-64II placement so high near the ceiling. Bill Quote
Scrappydue Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 dont get the atmos modules. @MetropolisLakeOutfitters can tell you that the atmos modules aren't what they are cracked up to be as well as they dont keep up with the rf-7ii all that well. go in ceiling if you can. Quote
Charles M Posted December 8, 2016 Author Posted December 8, 2016 Yes I agree with that . So what do you think about the heresys used as atmos? Quote

No, don't do this. The point behind Atmos enabled speakers is for them to be very directional and non-localizable so that it really sounds like the sound is coming from the ceiling. If you take a heresy and point it upwards, you're going to immediately simply hear a heresy that is laying on its back, going to immediately be able to point to it. That's no good. There was a lot of research into figuring out how to pull this off both in directivity and frequency response as it pertains to the psychoacoustic effect. The ones that pull this effect off the best is the built in modules in the RP-280FA. Otherwise do in-ceilings if possible. RP-140SA is a choice but they look funny sitting on RF-7ii's, sometimes can be localized, and have a bit of an issue in keeping up. Do in-ceilings if you can. Quote

Charles M Posted December 12, 2016 Author Posted December 12, 2016 Not sure about what it's about the center being so close the the ceiling? Anyway I end of getting the Heresy today 1 Quote

I now see how close it is to the top of your screen. Are you able to tilt it down a bit more in order to aim it better at your main listening position? Nice looking room by the way. Bill 1 Quote
