TonyP9 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I have two front speakers, a center channel, & subwoofer (all Klipsch) and I am adding the RP-140SAs and assuming I can not use them as Atmos upward speakers...The challenge is in the positioning. Room configuration is: - 20 foot ceilings & mostly, but not entirely flat - TV/Audio is in a corner of the room because it is situated around/over the corner fireplace, with the seating facing that corner. Front speakers are about 6.5 feet apart - Can not place RP-140sa speakers behind seating due to room config - Options seem to be: High Front, Ceiling, or side about 10 degrees in front of the seating (10 feet off the ground or higher) Thoughts on where to best position???

wuzzzer Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 For a 5.1 system your surrounds are supposed to be beside you, not behind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyP9 Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 That was my first choice, though they will have to be about 10 feet off the ground pointing down and slightly in front of the seating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I would just get regular surround speakers from Klipsch. The 140's don't do much below 100 Hz. The surrounds can be a bit in front or behind the listener using the WDST speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyP9 Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Just to follow-up, I finally have these installed above (pointing down) and slightly in front of the listening position.....and the results are great so far for music/TV. Will test with streaming a movie tonight, but am very happy with the results. Appreciate the responses to my post. I have a Denon x3300w and used the Audyssey functionality....

xo705cf Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Are you talking about 140s or 240s, normally 140s are used for Atmos on top of the front speakers, just want to make sure we're all on the same page, typically the two forties would be used as surrounds...

TonyP9 Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 These are the 140SA's...I have them about 12 feet off the ground and about 5 degrees forward from the listening position. The positioning is strictly being driven by the room configuration & I had very few options.....I will be the first to admit that I am not an expert on equipment or audio set up, but to me the sound is great.
