Hey Everyone. Thanks for checking out my thread! I’m looking to finally setup my gaming/movie room. (Don’t mind the mess it’s still a work in progress)
So, unfortunately I don’t have room behind my couch to place REAR surrounds. My couch is up against a wall. So, I’m likely going to stick with 5.1 and just do surrounds mounted on the wall behind listener. (Unless anyone has a better idea) But my problem is where and what speakers should I get and where should I place them. I want to stick with Klipsch because that’s my entire system besides Receiver.
I understand positioning is not ideal, but I have to work with what I got.
So onto my room size. From TV to back of couch it’s about 15 feet. When you’re sitting down on couch staring at TV the left side of room is entirely open and right side there’s a wall. (As you can see with pictures)
So I was looking to purchase with Klipsch RP 502S OR RP500SA. I attached a picture of them so you can see. I’ve been researching and some say direct firing and some say bifold/dipole for my placement/seating arrangements I’m not sure if the klipsch 502s support both? (The angled down wall mounted 500SA can be used as atmos or surround. I’d be using them for surround)
I do prefer the 502s because they will look nice wall mounted and won’t stick out as much, but I also want what’s best for my situation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my first time setting up a system like this so and info/advice is greatly appreciated
My system I currently have.
Denon AVR 3500
Klipsch Bookshelf 600M (2) Left & Right
Klipsch Center 504C
Klipsch Sub SPL 150
