Kain Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 First post here in a very long time. I own the following setup (copied from my signature): Display: Panasonic TH-42PW5 DVD Player: Pioneer DV610AV-K A/V Receiver: Harman Kardon AVR 8500 Mains: Klipsch RF-7 Center: Klipsch RC-7 Surrounds: Klipsch RS-7 Subwoofer: Seaton Sound SubMersive I got the speakers in 2002 and the rest of the stuff (except the subwoofer) in 2003-2004. I added a subwoofer in 2009. I also replaced the DVD player a few years after that because it stopped working properly. This is my first "real" home theater. So, right now, my setup is still in the DVD ages with an SD plasma TV. I am planning a complete re-do of the home theater (starting again from scratch). I am considering a full 9.4.6 Meyer Sound Atmos/DTS:X setup from their cinema line, a 24-channel version of the Trinnov Altitude32, 75-80" 4K TV (because my room is too small for a projector setup), and a 4K Blu-ray player. I wanted to get some feedback/impressions of Meyer Sound speakers. Anyone here have any experience with them? I've done a lot of research and they seem to be very well regarded in the industry with many film mixing studios/facilities using them. Any comments/opinions will be appreciated. I've already searched for "Meyer Sound" here on the forum and got quite favorable/positive comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Meyer Sound Is choice speaker(s) I run McM and EAW stacks, never could decide what Pro System sounds better, so i run both. They are "My" ears and this is the way i chose to go. Meyer Atmos is fine audio, id have NO problem going with them. And you are NOT jumping ship. Klipsch is now in your blood. Good luck in your adventure and do report back when system is up and running. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Thanks for the reply. I know there are others who also have experience with Meyer Sound and would appreciate some feedback from them too. By the way, I will keep you guys updated on my progress on the new setup. I'll probably even stick around here without having a Klipsch setup. This place is great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go get you a small set of Klipsch speakers so you will still think you belong. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I agree with Willand. As I type this, I'm enjoying SRV nearfield on Klipsch Promedia 2.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 By the way, how much could my pair of RF-7s, single RC-7, and pair of RS-7s go for? They are all black. The condition is not perfect as there are a few scratches/nicks here and there but nothing too obvious that can be seen from afar. I also replaced one of the woofers in the RC-7 because it ended up being blown. I replaced it with a genuine woofer however the color of the woofer is of a slightly different tint/shade from the original woofers (probably because it was made many years after the original). Sound is fine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Okay, slight update. I've been thinking about this and have come down to two setup options. First one is actually Klipsch (7.1.4) and consists of... Projector: *still deciding* Screen: 120" (diagonal) 16:9 DreamScreen V6 UltraWeave AT Screen Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc player: OPPO UDP-203 Processor: Anthem AVM 60 Amplifiers: 1 x Parasound A 51 + 2 x Parasound A 31 Mains: 2 x Klipsch RF-7 III Center: 1 x Klipsch RF-7 III Side surrounds: 2 x Klipsch RP-250S or 2 x Klipsch RP-160M Back surrounds: 2 x Klipsch RP-250S or 2 x Klipsch RP-160M Ceiling speakers: 4 x Klipsch RP-160M (any thoughts/comments on how to mount them to a concrete ceiling?) Subwoofers: 2 x Seaton Sound SubMersive HPi+ + 2 x Seaton Sound SubMersive HP-Slave Second one is the Meyer Sound one and is 9.1.6. Pretty much the only differences between this one and the Klipsch one are the speakers, subwoofers, and processor. Projector: *still deciding* Screen: 120" (diagonal) 16:9 DreamScreen V6 UltraWeave AT Screen Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc player: OPPO UDP-203 Processor: Trinnov Altitude32 16-24 Amplifiers: *none as all speakers are powered* Mains: 2 x Meyer Sound Acheron Designer Center: 1 x Meyer Sound Acheron Designer Front wides: 2 x Meyer Sound HMS-5 Side surrounds: 2 x Meyer Sound HMS-5 Back surrounds: 2 x Meyer Sound HMS-5 Ceiling speakers: 6 x Meyer Sound HMS-5 Subwoofers: 4 x Meyer Sound X-400C The Meyer Sound setup is a lot more expensive than the Klipsch setup (roughly $20,000 more). Do you guys think it is worth it over the Klipsch setup? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 If you're willing to spend some cash, just get a set of Klipsch KI-396's. They're an incredibly good sounding speaker. Roy did a phenomenal job in designing them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
