bobdog Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I am considering moving to an Atmos system. The amount of material available in music is pushing me in that direction. I am actually over wanting anything beyond my current 7.1 setup for movies. Right now I am running KPT12 VBs as sides and 1201s as rears. Front stage is Khorns and LaScalla center. I need whatever I get to keep up. How much sound actually comes out of the Atmos speakers? How low do they play. Is there any reason the speakers I listed would not be a good choice. If I do make the jump I will only be able to do one pair over head to the sides of the seats. Iran conduit to the projector from the rack but I'm not tearing out the ceiling to do this. Is it still worth it or should I just live with 7.1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Nice theatre @bobdog Not familiar with the model you are looking to use for Atmos. Thanks! edit: KPT, Premier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuzzzer Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I think any of those will work very well. Technically Atmos is a full range channel but I doubt much below 80Hz is mixed into them since it would be sent to an LFE channel. Looks like all three pairs that you referenced have -3dB down points in the 75Hz range or so which would be perfect. I listen to a lot of Atmos music on Amazon Music and the Atmos speakers are sent more info than I thought they would. Of course, there’s more info in an action movie for instance, but it definitely is a unique experience for music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted March 17 Klipsch Employees Share Posted March 17 When doing the spec for cinema, We used them as ceiling speakers....Not an issue if you use a correct mount. I use KPT-1200M for my ATMOS tops. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivi Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 @bobdog I have the 8001 and 1201 in different rooms, and I greatly prefer the 8001 (sounds so sweet). Have sold at least 20 of them for use as Atmos surrounds. They are solid as a rock. Probably my favourite KPT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
