Matching Klipsch Architectural speakers

[myphronesis]

Hello,

I am not an audiophile. We like blues to rock. We like movies.
 

We moved into our older condo in Vancouver, BC that has Klipsch 5000 series (2011?) in-wall. I am powering them with an older Yamaha RX-V667 receiver. I have a pair in the living room (15’x17’) on a side wall with the Samsung 55” tv and soundbar on the front wall. I also have a pair in the bedroom and Klipsch ceiling speakers in the kitchen and two bathrooms. I run these other speakers via a BT Yamaha R-S202 receiver connected to the main receiver.

 

I want to pair the wall mounts with two free-standing speakers on the opposite side of the room since playing movies etc. makes the sound one-sided! I will couple this with an existing sub. There are some great deals now on Klipsch R41 and R51 speakers. I like the smaller size of the R41s. Any comments or recommendations would be appreciated.

 

Additional questions - recommendations on stands for the speakers? Also - the wall speakers have an IR badge. What would I need IR for?
Thanks!

Typo on room size

Welcome @myphronesis... Would go with the. Bigger is better for that room so, would go with the 51s...speaker stands around ear level height when seated.

Thanks @billybob1. Exactly the comments that I seek.

Having adjustable stands, also an option, yet not necessary.
