supercooldude Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 So while I wait for speakers....anyone wanna talk receivers? This is my current one: Yamaha RxV675 Natural Sound 7.1+2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboKlipsch Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Well any AVR can do this job that has 7.1 channels. To start a conversation about making a change requires that you tell us why....just to see what might be better, to improve something, to avoid something, to seek out a particular benefit? That would help with recommendations. If you are just saying hey what's out there and what do people recommend, there are actually some recent dedicated threads to that specific topic already out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoboKlipsch Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 backs might need to be closer you should guesstimate the angles try them all maybe another 10inches higher above ear level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im confused about the angles because the speakers aren't direct firing. They still need to be angled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboKlipsch Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 By angles i mean the diagram showing how to layout the speaker positions. Angling them towards the position is not critical with the bipolars but where to place them is so guesstimate based on your room and layout and the 7.1 diagram 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I have not heard any of the Reference Premiere Speakers, they seem to be well received by those that have purchased them. I have no experience with inwalls. Unfortunately, your room and mine are setup with seating against the back wall (in my room it's the 2nd row). If at all possible, I would encourage you to move the seating foward to directly beside your side surrounds or no more than 10 degrees in front of them. This diagram should help These angles! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up speaker brackets on amazon but they all say max weight is 10lbs....these are 15 at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboKlipsch Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 They are completely and totally awesome on the wall. Klipsch knows their sxxx and builds the best surrounds Ive heard. This version is sealed and that means no ports. There is a keyhole mount on the back. This allows them to hang off a proper mount. Theres many versions but I used a snap toggle. 3/8" size they are rated for 200lbs+. Mine have never come off and have been bumped plenty. Installation requires a 1/4" drill bit and hole then you slide the snap toggle in, snap it off and screw it in. 5 min max per hole really about 2min. Amazon.com. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboKlipsch Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Ok I admit I overlooked that you got the real surrounds and dumped the cutouts! How do they sound so far? Onwall will increase bass and midbass. ☺ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly has been your advice to move the couch and change the placement of the rears!! Soooo...I can put those rears flat on the wall? I will have to give them a sound test first obviously.

RoboKlipsch Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 At less than reference volume some sound is a bit skewed. Audyssey, found on some receivers has a dynamic eq that boosts not just bass at lower volumes but the surrounds too. This deq feature is not unique to just Audyssey. I find it makes a big diff personally and love it fyi. If your avr does not have this you may want to boost your surrounds a db or 2 to compensate. I'm curious how the surround sweep sounds now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we watched guardians of the galaxy vol 2 last night. Loved loved a lot of the effects all around us. The fireworks at the end especially. Also the last 2/3 chapters of Unbreakable sounded fantastic, especially when he is flashing into the other peoples lives. I really wish I had a specific (very specific) sound sweep scene to listen to. Should I get Twister? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboKlipsch Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I have found the transformer movies to have great surround. twister excellent still gravity is the ultimate test. top gun has many goodflybys part of dynamic eq boosts the surrounds at lower volumes. since u rarily listen that loud i was suggesting bumping up the surrounds a db or 2 and seeing if it sounds bette 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted August 14, 2017 Moderators Share Posted August 14, 2017 Yes, no need to toe in the surrounds. They are meant to be mounted flush on the wall. They are designed to disperse the sound by nature. You aren't trying to "aim" them towards your listening position like you do with your mains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
