I have a pair of the dolby atmos bouncy speakers. I wish I would have found the audioholic youtube resource before purchasing them, but they were a fun experiment, I found a steal of a price- so not much is lost.
how do you guys feel about repurposing the bouncy speaker as a down firing height speaker similar to the Auro3d setup. It is a Klipsch 140SA, and has the vertical angle I would need for my listening position. The left- right angling will be a bit more difficult since it is a keyhole mount.
I know some of you don't like Klipsch
I an not quite ready to change the whole system yet, I may relook at other products down the road.
I also can't really cut into the ceiling of my listening room. Been trying to figure that out for a while. it is a no go.
my worries
1- it a very narrow angle of projection coming off of the front of the speaker. I only have a 2-3 seat listening area though
2-the Head Related Transfer Function - "a rise at 7 kHz of 5 dB followed by a drop of 7 dB at 12 kHz" ..... will that really screw with its ability to be a straight speaker? I know I can preamp eq this to lessen the damage, I know it won't be as good as flat.
Is the 140sa Worth at least trying up there, or am I set up to fail?
My Setup- Marantz 7010, and a 10 year old klipsch reference series run in 5.2.2. standard residential ceilings. The goal is to expand to a descent Atmos and DTS:X system.
