I have a klipsch cinema 700 soundbar that pops. Not sure why but it has made me cautious of buying klipsch anymore. I used to love them.

Definitely a full setup. I'm just curious if this would be overkill for a room about 16 x 20. I'm looking to make an at home theater and I've been looking at a few different ways of setting it up.

Definitely not overkill. You should think about a second sub to even out room modes.

This is a decent bare bones HT speaker starting point for people who enjoy HT movie sound. Anything less is making compromises. There are much better speakers and subs you could get but likely would cost more.

You're gonna need a capable receiver. Look into Denon 3700 or better yet upcoming 3800

That's a decent sized room. No it won't be an over kill.

What are those two components shown in bottom left in picture?
Is this 5.1 or 7.1?

My rooms the same size. I have the 2 speaker center and the single speaker front L R and a 10 it's more then enough. I love my setup and is adequate but wouldn't mind having this one

I would recommend starting out with just building a good 5.1 setup for now.

Like everything, placement is critical and this Atmos design isn't the most optimal performing for Atmos.
You can always add Atmos later if you find you want to.

In ceiling gives you the best performance and if you can't/won't do that then height mounted speakers would be a better choice than this design.

That looks like a wireless kit, most likely for the sub.
This is actually a 5.1.2 setup.

Looks like a wireless kit for the sub and it would be considered 5.1.2 but will use all 7 channels if you have a 7.1 or 7.2 receiver. You could always not hook up the atmos speakers and run something else but you sort of pay the premium for having that built in atmos in this setup.

I hear a lot of people poop on this up firing atmos speaker set up but i have a set in a living room with a flat ceiling and it sounds great. I'm no audio expert but it seems if your speakers are set up at the center point of where you sit these up firing atmos will generally be positioned well enough.

Also, I find it hard to run a 7.1 setup unless you have a "home theater" unless you just have a optimal living room setup. I find trying to setup a 7.1 in a standard living room is a bit harder for wiring and just placement (if your wife even lets you lol). These up firing atmos speakers gives you a little more sound with out having to cut holes in your ceiling (If you even have access to do that).

Did you run it hard when you first bought it? My parents blew a seal on their subwoofer since we watched an action movie the day we install the speakers ha.

YMMV, I just bought a pair of the Klipsch RP-600M (not each) for $300 + tax at Video Only B&M. (Before price-matching with Adorama, Video Only is clearancing the Klipsch RP-600M at $199/ea.) Very satisfied with the sound and quality so far (used the intro to the film Tenet (2020) as a listening test), as I am using these as Fronts in a 15'x15' bonus room.

I hope to have a 5.1.2 setup, currently too broke for both a decent sub (SVS SB-1000 for $380 at WWStereo in Jan 2022, returned it though) & in-ceiling speakers (Polk VT60 currently runs $200/pair at Costco).

Current setup (all prices before tax):
  • Denon AVR S760H (7.2ch) - $450
  • Klipsch RP-250C (center) - $150
  • Klipsch RP-600M (fronts) - $300
  • Klipsch RP-160M (monitor - surrounds) - $250
  • Total spent: $1,150
One thing's for sure - I am not going back to a soundbar.

There is no such thing as overkill if you have the money and it's not that expensive. It might be overkill for an apartment because it will piss off everybody in the building. Don't let other people talk you down to some thing else Klipsch are the best speakers for the money. Why waste money starting on some thing less than this that's just stupid talk. If you're debating just buy it.

In my experience there soundbars suck but love the brand
