Gregwx Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) Hi everybody!. I have been building my first Home Theater room, little by little. My room is pretty small : (WxDxH) 9.8' x 11.1' x 9.4', brick walls all already acoustic treated. As many of here I started with a Klipsch HTIB 5.1 from costco, drive by a Sony STR-ZA1100ES. Mainly for streaming movies and series, is set to: 5.1.2. I have been adding new speakers. Currently my Front L/R are RP-600M and RP-504C as center channel, still using smalls 3.5" Klipsch satellite speakers as Surrounds L/R and Heights mounted on the ceiling (monoprice bracket) at top middle position, firing to my listening position. I'm pretty happy with it, but I have some questions to keep growing up my Home Theater. 1. It will be worth to change those satellites for 5.25" RP woofers?. A knowledge fella told me that small speakers were better for small rooms because is easier to control high's, and doesn't add more lows which are harder to control. 2. Due my budget and shipping restrictions, I can only order RP-500M, I was thinking on using it as Surround backs and then when the RP-502S are available, get those and put RP-500M as Dolby Atmos Height Speakers through ceiling mount. In short: "Can I use the Klipsch RP-500M as Dolby Atmos?" (I have ceiling mount ready) or should I wait for the RP-500SA. Thank you in advance for your advise, and bearing with my rusty english. I appreciate your comments. - Greg Edited April 26, 2021 by Gregwx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Sounds like a plan either way and the ears usually decide for you. Did you say you are using 2 subwoofers? Thanks! @Gregwx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregwx Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Hi Billybob. I'm using one sub currently: Klipsch R-12SW. The Klipsch HTIB package comes with one, smaller with wireless adapter. AVR has dual sub pre-outs, but I don't know how beneficial could be to combine them, due the size difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, yes was wondering about that as sure one is enough for HT. As for your other questions, going to defer to others. If they are too shy, I will take it on myself. Cool!

Hatchet Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 GregWX, I know this is an old thread but what kind of mounts did you use for ceiling mounting the RP-500M? I'm using them for ATMOS amd having a hard time finding a good mount. Thanks, Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
