hunkyn Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) Gurus, I am re-doing my home theater and looking for recommendations on the speaker setup for my room. Room dimensions are 12 *17*9. Screen will be on the 12 feet wall and 17ft will be listening position. Room is 9 ft height. I have 5.1.4 (All Klipsch) with two front speakers being upfiring and two ceiling speakers. I am also doing a 12 inch raiser so the row close to the wall will be 12 inch higher than the front row. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Edited September 22, 2019 by hunkyn Added proposed Layout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 If you don't have the best center speaker you can afford, that's where I would begin. You need one of these: https://www.klipsch.com/products/rc-64-iii-center-channel-speaker Klipsch is good at complete packages these days. https://www.klipsch.com/home-theater-systems You also might want to move FAST on buying a new RP system as prices are about to go a lot up due to the tariffs on China. Speaker prices for made in the US won't be affected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mis-understood. It might help if you post a picture. Speaking for myself, I'm not very good at visualizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that will be good enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 That does help, I missed the update with the diagram initially. Front soundstage: I don't know what mains you have. You've got them in the corners and toed in heavily. I prefer mains equidistant to the center and slightly toed in. A single sub near the middle seems good, if it sounds good to you with no nulls or peaks. Surrounds: I don't know which surround speakers you have. A di-pole would be best so it isn't playing directly into your ear. Is Sofa 2 is your MLP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RP-8060FA (Towers) RP-504C (Center) RP-502S (Surrounds) SPL-150 (Sub) CDT-5800 C II (Rear Heights) Sofa 1 will be my main. Since I am close to the wall i got the 502S based on my understanding and reading in the forums. I am trying keep my corner towers to angle at 22 degrees as per dolby recommendation as that is the only set I can probably plan. The ones in the rear I cannot go dolby recommended way and looking to see some suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
