billybob Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Think that's right on the monopoles for atmos. Alot are using ceiling for atmos. The bookshelves either ones should match well enough for surround, rears. Thanks! @charlie1981 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MercedesBerater Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 stay away from bipole and dipole - that's correct. i would use the r41m for your side surrounds. - you don't *need* to have the surrounds match the LCR. It's not likely you'll have timbre issues with such ambient sounds compared to having matching LCR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie1981 Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 ok ill get another pair of bookshelf for the rears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbyinn Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Ditch the R14S and use a monopole. Since you bought some R41Ms, get another set to finish off the side and rear. If timber match is a concern, watch something with the 41Ms you have on the side and see if it is an issue. I have RP8000s and a RP504C. I once used R51Ms and R15Ms for side and rear. It was fine.

MercedesBerater Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 i think timbre matching is truly only a concern for LCR -- i matched my front and rears. RF7ii for L/R and RF7ii for L/R rear. then i added R5800w into the side columns and CDT5800 for ceiling.... i can't tell during movies which is the 8" driver and which is the RF7 with dual 10's..... the rear's matching the front is WAY overkill. it's quite a statement when you walk into theater - so that's worth something. but timbre matching - i think is best left to LCR. if i did it over again - i'd use a wall mounted or in-wall for my rears, like another set of R5800w.
