Everyone thanks very much for the replies! its truly appreciated and gives me more then enough things to try out. In fact I applied crossovers like mentioned and it’s all coming together now and starts sounding much better!

In a few days I expect my new speakers to arrive:)! after a long research I went for the next set that’s recently ordered; R-625-FA floor standing towers as fronts and Atmos front R-52-C center set of R-41-SA’s used as surround speakers (keeping the KSW-10 sub for the moment) now, since I always used Audyssey for setting up my system, and I’ve always had the feeling that my (recent) speakers could sound a lot better and somewhat louder, I want to manually set my upcoming system, instead of letting Audyssey do the work. my local dealer has the floor standing speakers set up ‘large’ full range, and the other speakers ‘small’ with a crossover to protect them, and let the sub (I’m keeping my KSW-10) for the moment, do the lower end heavy lifting. But reading on google, forums, etc, many people advice to also set the towers as small and crossover at 40 or 60hz. Also for the other speakers the opinions of different crossover settings vary much. This is when I decided to ask you guys Klipsch pro’s and fanatics how you would set up this speakers(small, large, advisable crossover settings) to get the maximum quality and volume of them and enjoy everything they’re made for! additional info; the amp is a Denon AVR-X1400H. i hope to get some advice what settings you would use for starters, to be sure I won’t use the speakers ‘only for a bit’ but also to not overload them. thanks in advance! And yes, I did search the internet, but that’s where I got lost: everyone seems to think a bit different about this... and that’s where I trust Klipsch enthusiasts in here!

Thank you all for the clear and helpful replies. I've got even more info then I expected, and I'm happy to hear that the placement of the speakers like the idea I had doesn't seem to be that bad at all, except for the subwoofer that is, but you gave me lots of things to try and advice for that too. At the moment the building of the mentions part of the house is the first thing to do of course, but when everything is finished I'll surely post some pictures and get back to this topic. Until then, might there be things someone here thinks of, or any other tips or advice, is always welcome ofcours. Anyhow, I'm very pleased of the help I'm getting at this community, and want to thank you guys for that!

Thank you for this; it sort of confirms what I thought would work for the SS1's. They will go a couple of inches (an inch is about 2,5cm isn't it?) from the corners on the rear wall. Great! About the sub, my meaning is to try to work with one sub only if possible. This would be the Visonik. The idea of placing it halfway on the side has something I've been thinking of too. Wouldn't placing it right next to the couch make the one sitting on that side of the couch hear it louder, and hearing more clearly where the sound comes from..? I know testing is the best way to know for sure, and it's more overthinking for now, but I need to place my pvc tubing for the cables (don't really know how that's called in English) in a couple of weeks, so this is why I'm so happy with this advices! A little picture of the sub is added for a general idea of the type. As said there are now firering speaker or ports on the sides, only downwards. It's a 8" 100 W RMS sub.

Thank you very much for your replies! And for the nice friendly welcome:). I'm glad to hear that my thoughts weren't too bad after all. The position of the rear SS1's was what I was worried about most, since I only have had direct firing 'normal' before, but placement at the back wall seems good from what I read, which is a welcome surprise. Do I have to take in account the minimal/maximum distance from the corners of the room as well for those? And can my couch be this close to the rear wall? And great to read advice for the subwoofer also! I've bought a Visonik subwoofer, downfiring, with also the port facing down. It's supposed to diffuse the sound as much as possible I heard. For now I've got a sub with the port facing towards me, and I do not like the extra amount of bass when sitting while moving my head leaning back words to the read wall, instead of the 'normal' amount of bass when sitting slightly leaning forward. Therefore I very much appreciate the advices, since I want to eliminate that as much as possible. Thanks again for the kind advice!

Edit: sorry, placed in wrong forum I see, should be in 'architectural' I guess.. My first post here, since I'm new to the Klipsch family. Because of my limited budget I bought used speakers and avr, but, despite that I am happy as a little child with my new toys!(if that's a correct sentence in English; I'm from Holland;)) I recently bought myself a nice set of Klipsch speakers to replace my small onkyo 5.1 set. My 'new' set exists of the SF-1 fronts, the SC-1 center and the SS-1 surrounds(used, of course). Heard them, and instantly wanted them!! Also a nice little subwoofer will support them. They will be powered by my also just bought Onkyo TX-NR616, which is going to replace my Onkyo TX-NR509. And, to finish my little introduction, this all will be placed in a part of my living room that's being built right now:). The question... How to place all this speakers, especially the rears, in 5.1 setup, to get the most out of this all, to just enjoy watching movies the way they're intended.. I made a little sketch of the room that's being attached to my living room, it's roughly 5m long and 2,80m wide, with an open walk trough on the left of listening position, and door and Window on the right. I hope the attached picture works and will be enough to get a bit of pointing in the right directions! It's just how I -think- it should be, and really can use advice because of the wiring in the walls that I'm going to make in the new home theater corner of my living. Thanks in advance!
