Before buying the Klipsch set, I did some research and found a lot of people saying they were bright and fatiguing on the ears. This was absolutely true until I re-ran audyssey. That toned down the highs a lot.

There is no "need" or "minimum" to follow but the concept, in very rudimentary terms a speaker per channel with the sound hitting your seating position(s).
That's why SVS has their Elevation speakers, heck even Klipsch's has their RP-500SA's that work as these modules OR Elevation speaker, they even call it that.
Yamaha even labels one of their speaker connections "height"!

I'm not sure why you think that sound bouncing off the ceiling can be "atmos" but mounting a speaker toward the top of the ceiling pointing at your ceiling position isn't, they are coming at you from the same angle.
As a matter of fact Elevation speakers option are more like all the other speakers, direct radiating pointing at you.
So in theory that should be "better' than bouncing it off the ceiling.
There are many options, which works best for you depends on MANY things but coming in here and saying one is "10x better" is just incorrect.
Nope.
Any recommendations for a good pair for surround, center channel, and sub that will go with these?
Thanks!

The picture does reflect a bit off the speaker sides, but I only notice it if I look at the speaker. It's not distracting to me. I think even with the black vinyl wrap, it's going to reflect similarly. So I'm okay with the cherry finish.
I would suggest anyone in the fence because of the cherry finish to get them and know you could add a black wrap for not much more.
I don't use the Atmos up firing speakers. I already had 4 on the ceiling for Atmos. I thought the price was decent enough to buy and not use the built-in Atmos speakers.
On paper they may be almost the same, having heard them side by side they don't sound the same IMO.
It's said the newer models helps with the brightness, I would agree BUT for me it was a subtle difference.
The 8000's had more depth/body to them also.
If they have all the exact same components(I have no idea or care) my only guess is the 8000's have more cabinet space due to not having a built in module.
How well the built in modules will perform will vary widely from person to person. IMO not worth it and one reason we were comparing them.
As someone pointed out you have pay to return them back which will probably cost you close to the $100 difference.
Unless you knew the build in modules worked for you well, I doubt it's worth the hassle iMO.
Hope this helps and good luck.
