harleybaggerdave Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Hey all new to the community and Home Theater. Current setup is Onkyo AVR, front speakers Klipsch RP-500m, RP-500C, Rear surround RP-402s, and Sub SW121. I’m thinking of buying either the RP-600mii or floor standing RP-5000fii to replace the 500m bookshelf’s, (leaning toward the floor speakers) I was curious if the 500m would be better for the rear surrounds over the current 402s. Really don’t have room logistics for side speakers too. Going to upgrade center in a couple weeks too. . Any input would be greatly appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're going to go with an Atmos setup, the wide dispersion 402s work really well as surrounds. And, I know we all have limitations based on our rooms but in a 5 speaker surround setup your surrounds are actually your side surrounds, a 7 speaker setup adds rear surrounds. For the most noticeable upgrade, I'd suggest upgrading your center and adding a second identical sub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m trying for a more immersive experience and just wasn’t sure if the small bookshelf’s are cutting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harleybaggerdave Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 I was also wondering if I could add the R-120sw to my existing r-121sw because right now it's $300 cheaper than my 121, or should I just wait and buy another 121?

Don’t mix subs. If you can’t find another matching sub, sell the one you have and buy two new identical ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harleybaggerdave Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 After much research I just ordered RP-504cii from Crutchfield. Deciding now if I should save for identical sub woofer that I have, or replace front left and right. This is just like owning a Harley and Jeep, (I have both), just keep spending and upgrading. Keeps me out of trouble though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
