Debating on either the 900-ls or the 80f/x-ls for 5.1.4.
The other speakers I'm using are:
Lsim705 front
Lsim706 center
Lsi703 for surrounds

Leaning to the 900s since they have a 6" woofer as well and the 80s dont. Though no idea if woofers are needed for atmos.
Also the 80s tweeters are angled so no idea how that would sound when you want them pointed to the mlp.
Also does anyone know if you can change the direction of the tweeter on either model?

Unless you need the (bass) output, bigger woofer means worse dispersion/imaging + more expensive.

I have a large box with 4 900-ls speakers in it that was supposed to be canceled but it came anyways.. I've also ordered a set of the polk audio 80f/x ls ceiling speakers as the tweeters are angled side to side thinking those would work better.
Now I'm wondering if the tweeter on the 900-ls is angled at all so I can somewhat point them in the right direction by rotating it.. though I can't find any info at all on the Web and the pics and videos I've seen I can't tell.. though the driver looks angled.
What to do??? Which one would work best?

Seems like the dual tweeter design of the 80's would cause issues with pinpointing your atmos channels by dispersing the sound to much possibly.

Would love to open the box up and look at them. Can only keep 2 of the 4 but since it's in a box labeled polk audio and states 4 speakers my wife thinks if I open it up I can't just keep 2 and return the other 2. :/
No idea why they have a box of 4 when there sold individually.. unless that's how there shipped to the retail chain and ea speaker inside is packaged seperatly.
That's what I think.. I should be able to keep 2 and send the other 2 back.

Done.. opened the large polk audio 900-ls box and yes there's 4 smaller individual boxes.
Keeping 2 and returning the other 2.
Sucks.. can only do 7.1.2 cause my new Denon x4200w receiver won't do more then 9 channels. Wife won't allow be to blow the extra $827 for the x6200w so I can use all 4 at most speakers.
All because I ordered the polk audio lsim 702 fx surround speakers. Can't get rid of those cause really it'd the only surrounds that will fit in the room.
Really blows cause it makes most sense to do all 4 now then to blow way more money later and patch these 2 holes in the ceiling and cut 4 more holes down the line. If u can even find the same matching speakers years later :/

Oh yeah.. the 900s do have a slightly angled tweeter. Hard to see but middle of the speaker is concaved so it's like guessing a 10 % angle.
