Dan2 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I have Synergy F-30 speakers. They have a cosmetic plastic bulge on top of the speaker, which I'm afraid might prevent an Atmos speaker (like the R-41SA) from being used. Has anyone tried placing any of the Klipsch Atmos speaker line on top of Synergy speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I don't know why Klipsch designed that series of Synergy speakers that way. I wouldn't do it myself, it wouldn't be stable enough. It would be better to put them elsewhere. Can you post a picture of your front stage so we can suggest the best placement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5SS Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I think the plastic bulge on the top is only a few inches deep and then the rest of the speaker is flat. I had the F-3’s a waaays back and I believe the F-30’s were the replacement for them but very similar. I believe the Atmos modules will fit just fine, behind that bulge. Luckily, the F-30’s are fairly large and the Atmos modules are pretty small. I would measure, just to be safe, before I dropped the coin though.

Dan2 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 The flat part of the F-30 (behind the bulge) is 10.5". According to the R-41SA specs, it's 13". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be fine then, as long as you're ok with how it looks having a couple inches of overhang. Most of the speaker's weight should be in the 'front' where the woofer is, anyway.

K5SS Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 You could also use an inch of isolation foam on top of the speaker, so you can bring the Atmos modules closer to the front of the speakers. Even if if you don’t go that route, a 3” overhang off the back of the speaker should be just fine, if you can tolerate the looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan2 Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 I believe the rubber feet come attached to the Atmos speaker at the corners. This is a problem if I use the overhang placement. I'd either have to move two of the feet or obtain new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
