The issue:
The side surrounds are getting hit when you walk by them. To resolve this I am going to go to an in wall speaker. Two questions regarding this. Monetarily, I am looking at the
Klispch R-2650-W-II due to the limited amount of audio that actually comes from side surrounds. I.E. if I went away from the horns would I even notice? If so, then do I then jump to the R-3800-W II to get the larger woofer, for the added bass (enhancing the non-directional bass effect)?
My second question is in regards to the pair of RP240s I am removing. I plan to get the RX-A2070 soon, adding Atmos to the room. Can I reuse the RP240’s on the front wall as Height/Presence speakers and just put 2 in ceiling speakers behind the front row or should I sell them and install 4 in ceiling speakers? I realize for purity sake, the 4 in ceiling speakers would be better but, $$ are always a factor.
Thank you for your wisdom!
