Thank you for the time you devote to helping us along, I’ve been enjoying your content! I’m new’ish to the more advanced side of home theater setups and in particular, to Atmos…but I’m in the process of buying new hardware and I have some questions which I hope are not too long or cumbersome! 1. *2 CHEAP (old) AVRs vs 1 EXPENSIVE ONE?* For the budget-minded, rather than buying one of the newer AVRs that offer all the channel outputs needed to have tons of speakers, could someone use 2 (older and cheaper) machines to power the same number of speakers…and still get proper Atmos configurations? 2. *DO OLDER AVRs HAVE PROPER ATMOS OUTPUTS?* There are used Denons selling online, like the AVR-3312Ci for around $100. While on the back it has 1 set of “Height” outputs, it doesn’t say Dolby Atmos on the machine. Are all “Height” outputs on older AVRs sending data properly to overhead speakers? The AVR-3312Ci does say Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD amongst other things, but not Atmos. Does a receiver *have to be* Atmos specific in order to pass the data/sound properly to the speakers that would be setup as ceiling/upwards-facing speakers (not to mention the ground-level speakers that Atmos communicates with)? 3. *2 AVR’s? -or 1 AVR + 1 AMPLIFIER?* If the answer to question 1 is that yes, (you can buy a cheaper AVR to receive all the HDMI (and other) inputs from your sources…and if said AVR doesn’t have enough channel outputs to power 5-7 ground-level speakers AND 2-6 ceiling/upwards-facing speakers) …would one be able to use the pre outs to power an additional amplifier? -or would it need to be another AVR, to get the proper Atmos configured output to the speakers? 4. *REGARDING THE SPEAKERS.* If I put together the right AVR system (whether a single unit, or a combination of 2 or more) to power (up to) 7 ground-level speakers, plus 1 (2, or 3) sub-woofers, plus (up to) 6 ceiling (or upward-facing) speakers, can I mismatch different speakers and brands? For instance, I recently bought a set of Klipsch Reference Theater pack (before I knew about the Reference Cinema pack). If I keep the Theater pack and buy 2 more ground-level speakers…AS WELL as some overhead speakers (whether ceiling-mounted, or other) …could I shop around to add to this array, even if I end up getting cheap ceiling speakers? The ceiling speakers (round ones that install into the ceiling) seem pricey compared to the set 5.1 set I just bought. If I shop around and buy other brand speakers (whether the round ones made specifically for ceiling use or not), would that yield workable results? 5. *KLIPSCH UPWARD-FACING vs CEILING SPEAKERS.* Which are better? Would the Reference Cinema pack be a better option for having Atmos “ceiling sound” rather than using the Reference Theater pack and adding cheaper ceiling speakers (mounted on the ceilings and pointing down)? Thanks in advance!
1) Depends on the equipment. But any kind of auto correct would probably not be useful. I wouldnt do it. 2) It has to have Atmos processing to be real Atmos. Heights arent necessarily Atmos. 3) If the processor has preouts you can use an outboard amp. But A cheap AVR with lots of preouts usually don't go together. 4) You can mismatch speakers. Most folks like a matched set in any location though. The LCR, The atmos, the surrounds, etc. 5) Bouncy speakers are not as good as actual mounted speakers.
I have the same set but my bookself speakers are R-41M and my system set the cross over for the front right 100 center 80 rear 80 and hights 120. And if you go into the cross over screen in option there is a Klispch crossover selection too or at least there is on my Onkyo TX RN-696.
I performed calibration with Klipsch 7.1.2 and Onkyo tx-nr7100 9.2, but my Central Speaker with the Dolby Atoms setting is silent but the front sound is coming from the side front speakers. I can only hear the central channel when I switch the setting to 'All channel stereo'
Thanks for the video, but AV receivers are designed to be positioned upright to allow for proper airflow and heat dissipation. When placed sideways, airflow can be restricted, leading to overheating and potential damage to internal components. AV receivers usually have vents on the top and sides, so it's important to ensure those areas remain unobstructed for proper cooling.
Nice set up,I got the rz50 coming in march hopefully,I did get two sets of the klipsch 5.1 theater pack,going to use the 2 subs,I also got 2-620f,4-r-51m,1-34-c,4-r- 41sa
I know this is an old video, but hoping you see this. Do you know how to easily tell which Klipsch speakers this actually works for? The blog post on the Onkyo website is the only "documentation" I can find for it and it's not specific. I'm looking at the "Klipsch Black Reference Theater Pack 5.1 Surround Sound System" for $380 that seems to be a really popular entry level setup, and pairing it with the NR-6050. Thanks!
Thank you for this video. it's helpful. I am connecting Klipsch 5.1.2 to TX-NR6050. 1) Where do I connect atmos speaker to the receiver? Is surround (height) R/L the right choice? 2) Where do I connect back speakers to the receiver? Is height (surround back) R/L the right choice?
For gaming do I need to connect the hdmi cords from my consoles to my projector then connect the projector hdmi out to the receiver ?? Or connect the console hdmi cords to the receiver and the projector hdmi cord to the receiver as well? I’m new to this haha
Hi good morning I brought a new remote for my onkyo which is supposed to work with my system but the only button that works with it is the source button, any suggestions?
Great setup ! I have the same speakers and about to buy the same receiver but was wondering what settings you have on the sub as far as low pass and gain since they have to be adjusted manually
I just bought the onkyo 6100 along with the klipsch 8060 fa speakers. Where the the "height" tweeter speaker wires plug into the reciever? The main 8 inch speakers are front and left and right but where on the reciever do I plug the tweeter wires to for the up firing atmos. Is it surround or height etc on the reciever?
Where did you place the mic fir the calibration? Also I have the same speakers with an onkyo tx-sr494, the atmos feature does not work, I can't get the update. Also sound reproduction seem muddled, too much bass and the mix is always off. Any suggestions for a better avr
@@JilesMcCoy the speaker setup is the klipsch 5.2.1 625 theater system capable of Dolby atmos . I like to listen to music and was hoping for a system with atmos virtualization. I have the Onkyo tx-sr494 av receiver now.
Can you please suggest a speaker system with Avr, good for Netflix Dolby Atmos, for city apartments where you don't want to disturb the neighbors but ensure proper channel separation?
Okay I finally got this system 5.0.2.,and the surround back left and right are not working same with the center channel. I have them plugged in, in the correct plug in the back of the receiver. I plugged in the mic set up it comes with the receiver and it does make noise individually each channel speaker. I made sure to choose 5.2.2 option on the setup input as I have in my living space but no good outcome :/. Please help. Left and right surround back as well center speaker not playing audio while playing movie/music. The receiver I’m using is the Onkyo TX-NR6050
I'm hoping you can help me I have the Klipsch RF10 5.1 speakers and I need to get a new Receiver I currently run the Panasonic AV Receiver SA-XR55 I bought this system from a store that had it set up and sounded great 20 year's ago in the store but never sounded like that in my home. Can you please give me an idea of what Receiver I should go with today? And should I change out the basic wiring they installed my system with? I'm just not getting very much sound from my rear speakers and my center channel my subwoofer is perfect. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you very much.
@@JilesMcCoy I may have a bit more respect for my gear - I personally would never put a receiver sideways like that - interrupted air flow is damaging as well. But it's yours - do whatever floats your boat.
@@Audiomainia2310 It’s not a question of respect for gear, or who has more of such a thing. It’s a result of necessity. Sorry I’m not able to articulate that more clearly for you.
Even though the auto setup makes your channels crossover below 80hz DONT DO IT. Even if you have large speakers with 12 inch woofers i wouldn’t go below 60hz. Even the rears I’d go 100hz or they can sound a lil muddy.

6:37, crossing the fronts over at 40Hz is pretty good evidence that the autoEQ doesn't work very well.
Have fun playing with your gear. Interesting settings with front speakers at 40Hz and center at 120Hz.
Thanks! It is interesting to see what these boxes do.

1. *2 CHEAP (old) AVRs vs 1 EXPENSIVE ONE?*
For the budget-minded, rather than buying one of the newer AVRs that offer all the channel outputs needed to have tons of speakers, could someone use 2 (older and cheaper) machines to power the same number of speakers…and still get proper Atmos configurations?
2. *DO OLDER AVRs HAVE PROPER ATMOS OUTPUTS?*

3. *2 AVR’s? -or 1 AVR + 1 AMPLIFIER?*
If the answer to question 1 is that yes, (you can buy a cheaper AVR to receive all the HDMI (and other) inputs from your sources…and if said AVR doesn’t have enough channel outputs to power 5-7 ground-level speakers AND 2-6 ceiling/upwards-facing speakers) …would one be able to use the pre outs to power an additional amplifier? -or would it need to be another AVR, to get the proper Atmos configured output to the speakers?
4. *REGARDING THE SPEAKERS.*
If I put together the right AVR system (whether a single unit, or a combination of 2 or more) to power (up to) 7 ground-level speakers, plus 1 (2, or 3) sub-woofers, plus (up to) 6 ceiling (or upward-facing) speakers, can I mismatch different speakers and brands?

Everything I am going to do is up now.
@@JilesMcCoy I can't find your review (that you mention is coming at the very end) of the sound and performance either. Can you post a link?

I dont know of any way other than to look inside the unit. I never knew of a list. Maybe its noted on firmware update notes?
When you start the setup and goto that settings menu I'm lost as to how to get to that menu?
We’re did you get the speaker stands at
I wonder if I could connect this r625f to an receiver Denon x2700h, it's enough power for those speakers?
How do you do this for the 6100 as there is no speaker combo setting and it should use the same interface. I have the Klipsch Synergy line.
Ive not see the 6100 before.
Thank you for this video. it's helpful. I am connecting Klipsch 5.1.2 to TX-NR6050. 1) Where do I connect atmos speaker to the receiver? Is surround (height) R/L the right choice? 2) Where do I connect back speakers to the receiver? Is height (surround back) R/L the right choice?
Does it give you a graphical when you do the set up?
@hemal Mehta did u ever figure it out?
Cuan buena sin esas torres con el Atmos pensando en ellas, pero con un marantz receiver que modelo marantz me
Recomiendas para moverlas bien
For gaming do I need to connect the hdmi cords from my consoles to my projector then connect the projector hdmi out to the receiver ?? Or connect the console hdmi cords to the receiver and the projector hdmi cord to the receiver as well? I’m new to this haha
All your sources go to the avr and then the video out hdmi goes to your display.

It does.
Is kliptch RP series or Kef Q series better for home theatre ?
They are both great. Just up to your personal preference.
@@JilesMcCoy thank you
Both has different signature … kinda like both 😃
Does this receiver HAVE to be connected to a TV? I don't want to use it with a TV
What do you want to use it for?
How do they sound?
I thought the sounds quite good at the price point.
How many watts is the total power from all speakers?
The watts come from the avr. You can find that on the website.

Any new receiver should fix you up. The speaker cable should be fine it if is working. Check our Denon and Onkyo.
It could also be a 7.2.2 doesn't have to be just a 5.2.2
No, its 7 total channels from what I see. So 5.1.2 or 7.1.0 etc

Even though the auto setup makes your channels crossover below 80hz DONT DO IT. Even if you have large speakers with 12 inch woofers i wouldn’t go below 60hz. Even the rears I’d go 100hz or they can sound a lil muddy.
