Thors1982 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I am moving to a new house and I am trying to prepare for my hopefully much much nicer theater room. The new room will be 13ft 8.5in wide and 17ft 9in deep with 9 foot ceilings. The walls/ceiling will be down so I was planning on installing 4 in-ceiling speakers for Atmos. My current setup is a full Klipsch speaker setup from early 2000’s 2x RF7 - fronts 1 RC7 - center 2 RB75 - rear 2 RS7 - sides 1 RSW15 - subwoofer Is it worth it to upgrade this setup to Atmos? Or Should I start over with a new set? If I'm keeping them and upgrading to Atmos, what in-ceiling speakers will match well with them? If I get new speakers what would be a good replacement? I know RS7s are a type of bipole speaker. Will that cause any problems? Are these speakers going to sound good in a room this size? I was using them in a much bigger room before however it wasn’t as rectangular or closed in. Thank you in advance for all the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuzzzer Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I would absolutely keep your current setup. The CDT-5800 are the most popular in-ceiling speaker for Atmos that Klipsch sells. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkemyst Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 System looks solid, as Wuzz said the 5800's are highly used. I couldn't go in ceiling so went with the RP-500 SA (I am sure newer versions are out now). My build is in my sig. Sounds excellent and now I am going to get started trying to tune more with REW and a UMIK-1 and Ratbuddyessy (I need to read more on it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thors1982 Posted July 29, 2023 Author Share Posted July 29, 2023 Thank you so much for the replies!! I will have to look into "REW and a UMIK-1 and Ratbuddyessy" haven't even heard about that I was browsing the picture thread just for fun and noticed some people have the RS-7s in rear and RB-75s for sides? Is that the preferred method? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
