tcct Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Newbie here...well at to the forum not to Klipsch, I've had my Walnut Cornwalls since 1986...I've had them set up in a 5.1 configuration but no sub...had a water leak so redoing my living room and I need some advise... going to a 7.1 system... 22' x 30' living room with 10.5' ceilings...hardwood floors... going to use the Cornwalls for the front speakers, I've got a set of 4 quintet 3 speakers that I'm thinking of attaching to the ceiling behind and along side facing down at our viewing chairs and use the quintet voice bar for the center...might get a sub but low end has never been a problem... any opinions or advise would be greatly appreciated.....

willland Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Tcct, Welcome to the forum. Sorry about your water leak. The Cornwalls makes for an excellent foundation for an HT rig, provided you at least "match" the front soundstage. You could maybe "get by" with the QIII surrounds but a Quintet center channel is going to be a tough sell if you really want that somewhat realistic HT "experience". Your room is large and needs some "big sound" to fill it. Definitely a subwoofer is a must for HT, not so much for music. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Ohhhh man. Get a bigger center channel. Quintets will be fine for surrounds. Center is gonna kill your sound in a room that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 You need several vintage Heresies. Should have the same drivers and similar crossover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcct Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the responses...I've never used the Q3's i bought them when a friend needed money and put them away, I had polk audio rears mounted flush in the ceiling but they went with the water...Now looking CL for a RC center and sub... can't talk wife into a LaScalla center and Heresies hanging from the ceiling... Altho I've had my Cornwalls a lot longer then I've had her, best not go down that road.... Edited February 24, 2017 by tcct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
