RScruggs5 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) I am looking to upgrade my current 5.2 speaker set up to at least a 5.2.2. I currently have two R-820 floor speakers, two R-120SW, a R-34C and two speakers in the ceiling (came with the house). I was using the speakers in the ceiling as the surround rears due to their location, just behind the listening position. I would like to use the ceiling speakers for Atmos (maybe even add two more to the front of the listening position) so therefor I need new surround speakers. I am debating on placement and speaker selection. In wall? On wall? Bookshelf? How do the in wall/ceiling speakers compare to the rest of the Reference line? (ie. R-1650, R-1650 CSM or R-2650) R-41SA vs R-51's? Is it worth the jump to RP-402's? Any suggestions would help! Thanks!

RScruggs5 Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 I suppose there is also the option of keeping the ceiling speakers as the rear surrounds and adding the R41SA's to the front as Atmos speakers.. What is a better experience; 5.2.2 or 7.2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebuy Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Just my personal opinion. You already have the R series. For surrounds & Atmos it makes more sense to stay in the same line. The RP is More expensive and to pay those prices for Atmos is a waste of money. They are just ambient speakers, I'd just stay within the line you own.

There doesnt seem to be anything offered like that in the reference lineup. How much of a difference is it from something like the R-14s and the RP-250s?

I didn't know Klipsch didn't offer a surround dual driver speaker. You will have to move to a different line to get that/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
