Bookshelf or full range speak

[felitopaz]

I am considering buying a Klipsch Palladium system. I wanted for music listening 60% movies 40%.
I play 5 channel SACD most of the time. I have a BAT VK-6200 5 channels and a Anthem AVM50. I use two Velodyne DLS-5000R that I intend to keep.

I am presently using Klipsch RF-7 with Dean G crossover upgrades along with a Klipsch RC-7 center and RS-7 surrounds.

I am debating on the following setup.
Klipsch P-37 fronts or Klipsch P-17B (bookshelf)
Klipsch P-27C and
Klipsch P-27S surrounds.

My room is around 3200 SQ FT and I seat 12 feet from speakers.

Please let me know your thoughts on should I get the towers or bookshelves?

Your listening room is huge. Can you post a picture? Don't you think the larger "full range", as you described it, would give you a more satisfying experience?

3200 Cubic Ft or Square Ft?

Like 16' x 20' x 10' ceiling = 3200 Cubic Ft.

IIWM Id go with the P17 and a couple of better subs. While the velo's are nice in the budget range, with your room size, Id save the money on the towers and Have Jim make some subs to match the speakers in looks, and that would way outperform your velos. https://www.salksound.com/salkrythmik - home.htm

Room is 12X27. Ceiling goes from 8' to 12' so my calculations are 12x27x10=3240 Cubic Feet.
I made a mistake previously when I said square feet meant to say cubic.

3200 Cubic Feet.

I made a mistake. 3200 cubic feet.
