mrpellepelle Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Hi guys, i would like to install speakers in my ceiling to upgrade my home theater with atmos sound. My current 5.1 setup is: 2x RP-260F 1x RP-250C 2x RP-150M 1x R-110SW Room size : 30m² (323 sq ft) Which Klipsch In-Ceiling Speakers do you recommend ?

Paducah Home Theater Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 CDT-5800-C-II are the most popular, the 5650's a close second. Can't go wrong with either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicKlipsch Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 How about the something like the AW 650, would they be comparable sound-wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkevind Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I went with 4x of the 5800's, I wanted to tonally match the front stage as much as possible. Honestly I'm not sure if there is much advantage vs going with the 5650's, since they both have the 1" titanium tweeter and cerametallic woofers, and they stay crossed over at 80hz. But bigger is better right? For the kind of watching we do, most of the time I don't notice much if anything coming from the ceiling speakers. But once in a while I'll be surprised at audio content in a movie and I'm glad I put them in. Regardless, I would do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't do that. Those make for a nice outdoor speaker but they need to stay out there. That being said, from what I hear the guys in the lab in Indy used CP-6's for some kind of surround sound since they liked it so much. I'm not a fan of those but they seem to be.

EpicKlipsch Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Ok, how about putting some RB51 directly on the ceiling pointing downwards or slightly to the MLP? One guy did that over at AVS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the 5800 has an 8" woofer vs a 4" or 5", hard to argue against that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only use those when you have duct work or something right behind the holes and you have very little clearance. If there's no pressing need to use them then don't.

stoka Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 How's about the PRO-160RPC or the PRO-180RPC? Shouldn't they fit better with the RP-Line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can hear the difference Yeah they are the new generation in-ceiling, so in theory should match the new gen RP and RF better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AW-650's would work nicelly if you have a tall enough ceiling. They sound great and would be easier to aim and what not. I tried them for my Atmos setup but my ceiling is only 7.5 feet tall. After hanging down a few inches I felt I didn't have quite enough speration from the surrounds. But thinking back, it probably was just as good since they could be aimed better than in-ceiling speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
