Klipsch Heresy + surrounds

[thekingofstyle]

Hey guys,

I'm looking at adding to my home theater system that has been pieced together over the years.
I have a room that's ~13ft long * 8ft wide and 8 ft tall, walls on all sides. So it's pretty small, with the couch against the back wall.

I have Heresy IIs as Left and Right, with a Mirage FRx-C-1 Center speaker.
Just ordered an SVS SB-1000 subwoofer
Trying to decide on what to do for surrounds... and hoping you guys can help!

I need some really tiny speakers to use as surrounds, since I don't have much room between the wall and couch.

Staying within the Klipsch name to match the Heresy IIs, I'm looking at 2 of the individual Quintets or the R-14m. I don't think I can go any bigger in depth than the R-14m, and I don't think I can do in-wall. Maybe in-ceiling.

I'm also looking at the Cambridge Minx Min 22 or AudioEngine P4
If I switched out entirely, I'd look at the Elac Debut line, but I think even the B4 is a bit too big to use for surrounds in my room.

Which of those do you think would work better or do you have another recommendation?

Thanks in advance!

(PS - I did have another thread earlier in the summer about using this same setup for a wedding. Ended up going with the DJ for the wedding and it worked out really well, plus the wedding was great!)

You might give the SVS Elevation speakers a try, they don't jut out of the wall to badly since they don't need speaker mounts. Plus they can be mounted above standing height since they are angled, so they can be out of the way. I think that the Mirage center is a bit of a mismatch against the Heresy left and rights. I wold try to get a Heresy for the center. Also, the Heresy speakers will have a lot more dynamic range than the SB1000 subwoofer. I you like to listen loud, the SB1000 will not be able to keep up with your mains.

Thanks! I've actually gotten 2 recommendations for another Heresy in the center. Not sure where I will find just 1 though. I've read about the Academy but I think that will be very hard to find.

I don't listen loud, so I think the sub will be okay, and small size and cost is important, and the SB1000 gets really good reviews. I've even considered selling the Heresys going to a narrower tower or bookshelf since my room is so small.
