Hello All

I posted this on AVS and also trying to see if some one here can comment as well

Speaker Selection for Atmos and Aurora
Hello All

I am also considering installing new speakers and wiring before AV8802 is released.

I currently have a 5.2 system
AV8801
Front Left and Right Klipsch RF 7II
Center Klipsch RC 64II
Surround JTR Slanted Single 8's.
Two Seaton Subversive HP+ in the front.

I am planning to add two slaves to Seaton next year and spread them between front and back.

Now I am trying to see for front heights and Rear Surrounds if I can use Airmotiv 6 or Stealth 6 from Emotiva or should I stick with JTR's for this.

What speaker options do I have for in ceiling speakers and Voice of God Speaker.

I am eventually planning to replace Fronts and Center with Catalyst 12C.

Cheers

I think the stealthy would be way to big for height speakers.

I would recommend sticking with the JtR that sounds like it is a great speaker

Plus it will allow for more uniformity

But can I make a suggestion...since the height speakers don't have a huge amount of work to do (they work with your existing soeakers to create sound images in space) you go with a much cheaper speaker unless of course you are thinking if using atmos for multi chsnnel music.

I run psa mt110's and use klipsch quintets (50$/Pr) for atmos ceiling speakers and they do an outstanding job

Just another option to save you money

Thank you so much for the suggestion. I have lounge seating in the projector room and will use them for music as well.

As I am considering going the route of Catalyst 12C's for mains, would like to move everything to powered speakers. So at some point JTR's can go and I can have front heights, surround and surround backs powered as well.

I may only have 4 in ceiling speakers no powered as I don't see powered option for that. If that is the case, would you still recommend not have Airmotiv 6 for that duty.

Cheers
