Hey all, After many years I am finally starting to plan my own dedicated home theater room. I've followed this thread years ago, but it's been awhile and the speaker models have changed. I am looking to build either a 7.2.4 or 9.2.4 system. (maybe even 6 Atmos, I don't know yet) I currently have Klipsch RF-7s (the original version) I bought new in 2007. Still love them. Later I found an RC-7 and two RB-75s for the surrounds. I realize the RS-7 is the other ideal surround, but I probably won't find those at this point or have them be in good shape. I want to stick with current models for speakers I don't have that way if I ever decide to upgrade in the future to RF-7 III or similar then everything else is not also almost 20 years old haha.
What do you recommend for the rest of the surrounds and in ceiling speakers? I assume I should put the RB-75 behind the seats at the rear of the room. Would 2 or 4 RS-62 IIs be the best current model equivalent for side surrounds? I assume that's the highest end model just like the RF-7. What about the in ceiling Atmos speakers? Is that CDT-5800-C II or PRO-18RC? I am not sure what is preferred with those, but both of those seem to have an 8 in driver.
My subs are two Seaton Sound F18s I got probably 5-6 years ago now.
The room is roughly 21.5x16x7.5/8 feet. The two heights for the ceiling is due to duct work that currently runs down the center of the room. That will likely get changed/moved as the room gets designed and also the dimensions will get smaller once all the soundproofing layers are done.
Appreciate any help you can provide! Thanks!
