AlfaScott Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I am planning out my speaker system for a new home theater setup. I am thinking about the following combination for a 5.1.4 system: RP-280F for fronts RP-450C for center(maybe RP-600C) Klipsch R-120SW sub CDT-5650-C-II for atmos(qty of 4) R-5800-W-ii for surround(qty of 2) Does this sound like a good combination? Any suggestions for alternates? If not Klipsch, I am considering Elac Debut 2.0 or Emotiva Airmotiv speakers. Thanks, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 @AlfaScott, Welcome to the forum. Looks like you are on the right path with a great setup. Not really sure between the two center speakers which is "better". Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 It looks like a great set up. Depending on what you like, I'm not sure if one 12-inch subwoofer will be enough for you. I was using the RP-5000f as my fronts will only 5.25 woofers with one 120-SPL, which is similar to 120-SW, and it was ok. It was a decent balance. I added a second 120-SPL and the bass definitely sounded more filled out. The RP-280f's are bigger speakers than the 5000f and you might want a subwoofer that can keep up. You might start with one 12 inch and later add another. It is a big price jump to a 15 inch, but if it's in your budget, you might consider it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
