My personal experience is that the 2 overhear rears probably won't add much unless you can face them downward.
I had a 7.1 setup for a number of years and then upgraded it to a 7.x.4 (7 surround, 4 height speakers (2 front, 2 rear, wall-mounted angled downwards) and 3 subs/4 couch shakers)
I found that the height speakers for atmos didn't make a huge difference, especially if there isn't much separation between the fronts/rears you already have. If you're using small bookshelf speakers you might notice the bigger difference, but even with the back ones you don't want to be right up against the wall.
Switching from wall-mounted atmos to ceiling-mounted made a huge difference though.
If you can rig a wooden shelf on the wall and mount the speakers (down-firing) from that.. basically using a shelf on a wall as if it were the ceiling, then I'd definitely recommend it. I've also heard that there are frames you can use (a crossbar with 2 stands, similar to a photography backdrop-stand) that you can use to mount atmos speakers as if it were to a ceiling, but I haven't tried those before.

what's the point of the woofers? these are surround sound effect boxes. lfe should come from subs.
lol for the same reason your LCRs have them.
The better all your speakers can produce bass, the better the integration.
Which then creates a better surround/immersion sound.
So, these have that "small sealed speaker" sound. I did a side-by-side with some cheaper smaller Klipsch bookshelves (R-41?) and the bookshelf sounded better despite having only a 4-inch woofer.
Just keep in mind… small and sealed is a sound. "IF" you can make bookshelves work I'd recommend that… however, these look gorgeous on a wall. Remind me of the wedge side speakers in a movie theater.
Arent these designed to sit on top of your towers? My TV, receiver and polk towers are in a recess niche. My HT riim has cathedral ceilings im hoping to get the atmos overhead effect without having to mount them up high.
BTW this price is cheaper than Klipsch's refurbished price on their website.
It may or may not make a huge improvement depending on how you set them up in your room. Assuming you have the S-760H, these are the configuration options you have and how to assign the two additional speakers:

but it does improve my surround experience.

Thank you. I'll be running that unit.
How does this work if I am running RP8000F II that have the Atmos binding posts on the back of the floor standing speakers?
