Enrico Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I am buying a new house and purchasing the THX Ultra series, however I have a dilemma. The room I am using for home theater is a great room. It consists of a living space and the kitchen. I am not having any issues with the front or side speakers; however I do not know what I should do with the rears for a 7.1 setup. The only way I can mount the rears is to the ceiling. I have two choices. My first choice is to purchase the current available Ultra II speakers and mount the rears to the ceiling. My second choice is to purchase the in-wall speakers for astetic purposes, but I think it would look funny to have my fronts and sides in-wall and my rears mounted to the ceiling. Are there any ceiling speakers which will match up with the THX Ultra Series? I do not know how important the rear channel is to the overall sound. Any help or guidance would greatly be appreciated?

Remotia Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 You can mount the rears into the wall like this: and of course, you can do the same for the fronts and the subs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSoundBroker Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Klipsch will have in-wall/in-ceiling THX Ultra mains and surrounds coming soon. They showed prototypes at CES and are still working on some tooling and driver tweaks, but they are going to be a reality. You could use the in-wall monopoles in the ceiling with the di-poles on the sides. You should look to see them probably summer time. I'd pre-wire for them and pre-order a set to get in the line...they are going to be insanely popular. The guys at Klipsch say they will not be compromised and they will be mix and match with the free air versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrico Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 Thank you both for your help. I am going to order the in-wall speakers. I am hoping they will be available in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSoundBroker Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 May is iffy. However, that doesn't mean you can't prewire for them and put them in when they finally ship. Keep in mind, they will have enclosures so you want to make sure that when you pre-wire, you have a clear space behind them structurally.
