Momonucleosis Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Hi all, a local has 4 x CDT-5650-C II for sale, BNIB at below half price retail. For a little less after taxes (so new obviously) i can get 4 x CS-16C-II ... without even shopping around. So, probably save some cash if i wait for a sale, or shop aggressively. For those that have gone the atmos in-ceiling route, does one really benefit from better speakers up there? Should i just get the cheapest Klipsch (to at least kind of match tonally my RF64/RC64/RS52/RB15) 7.1 atmos upgrade starting point? fwiw, the BNIB 5650s can be opened and tested prior to purchase, so not too worried about that aspect. Thanks, Andrew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Andrew Since you are using 7.1 system now, how are you planning on using 4 ceiling speakers for Atmos? Or is your AVR capable of driving 4 additional Atmos ceiling speakers, connections beyond your 7.1? You have a nice system now. Since you are not sure of Atmos and it's benefits at the moment, would get the best deal, as you may not be enchanted with Atmos. Unless I misunderstand. Some members here can tell you about their experience. Welcome @Momonucleosis! Would stick with the Klipsch for tone.

wuzzzer Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 You have some very potent speakers. Don’t skimp on Atmos. They add a ton to the overall sound presentation when properly set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momonucleosis Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 Sorry folks, never got notifications of updates to this thread until now. I plan to upgrade my AVR to an onkyo ZR50, or maybe a sony 5000ES. Something along those lines. Thanks for your advice regarding not skimping on atmos speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
