ecridium Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Hi, I'm a newbie on audio and home theatre. I have a home 7.1.4 home theatre system. Room size is L 3.74 meter (12,2ft) and W 3.11 meter (10,2 ft) and H 2.95 meter ~ 9.6 ft The receiver is Denon x3700h with crown XLi 800 for Front Speaker Front Speaker : RP-8000F (Distance to listener around (2 Meter ~ 6.5ft) Center Speaker : RP-504C (Distance to listener around 2 Meter ~ 6.5ft) Side Surround : RP-500M (Distance to listener around 1.5 Meter ~ 4.9ft) Rear Surround : Some Aiwa Speaker Pair 6ohm (Distance to listener 1Meter ~ 3.2 ft) Atmos Front & Rear : RP-500SA Sub : SPL-120SW I believe some may say 7.1.4 will make the sound muddled for such a small room, but I really can notice a difference when playing games with those rear surround. The rear surround somehow makes the experience more whole. The aiwa rear surround is planned to be temporary, but actually in my opinion, currently the rear surround already sounds pretty great. I really don't believe that there is a significant benefit if I repllace the aiwa rear speaker to klipsch speaker. But for uniformity sake, if I'm changing it to a klipsch, will RP-400M suffice? (I know bigger is better, but the speaker position is actually only 1 M ~ 3.2 ft from the listener). I originally want to buy an RP-500M as RP-600M is really overkill in my opinion, but after reading here and there, I think the RP-400M will do just fine. What do you guys think? Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuzzzer Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Rear surrounds don't get a lot of sound sent to them. The 400s should work great for you. I actually eliminated my rear surrounds because I sat so close to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryGillmore Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Yeah I believe the RP400 will serve you well in that situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
