protobock Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Hi everybody, I am planning to modify my HT to 5.1.4 as follow: 2x RF-7 II as main fronts 1x RC-64 II as center 2x JBL Studio L820 as side surrounds (I know I should switch to Klipsch speakers but it is currently not possible) 2x RB61 II as front highs (just under the ceiling) 2x RB61 II as rear highs (just under the ceiling, facing the front highs) The amplifier is an Onkyo TX-NR 1030. Due to architectural restrictions and WAF, I will have to place the RB61 II (front highs and rear highs) horizontally. My question: Is this horizontal position problematic? If it is, what can I do to minimize the annoyances? Thank you for your help. Edited February 28, 2017 by protobock title correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboKlipsch Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Turning it horizontally will change the dispersion pattern. Are you using the RBs for Atmos speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protobock Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Yes, I will be using the RB61 for Atmos. I read I could perhaps unmount the horn tweeter and turn it 1/4 turn. Good idea? Edited March 1, 2017 by protobock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboKlipsch Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 That might be a solution, I can't answer that myself though. It makes sense to me in theory but someone else may have a more definitive answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 No you cannot turn the horn. It's part of the entire front baffle. All one large molded piece of plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
