Great to see height speakers getting some attention! I wish more companies made speakers in this format. So versatile for surrounds and heights without using big bookshelf speakers or in-wall/in-ceiling!

Thanks Ealan. Another great video. I just bought some Emotiva Airmotiv A1’s since the rest of my system is now Emotiva. They unfortunately weren’t the best performers from your video but glad they weren’t the worst either. I’m coming from much cheaper Sony SSCSE Atmos speakers so I’m sure it’s a decent upgrade regardless. Looking forward to your upward firing vs on-wall vs on-ceiling comparison!

Great video and yes can’t wait to get your view on placement. As my wife hates to see speakers I am actually installing a shelf behind my TV for the upfiring speaker hidden behind the TV. May not be optimal but still works. Btw the Klipsch go on sale frequently and are below 300$ vs the other options are 500$ plus. For many that will matter a lot especially for those speakers 6 and 7

Have you tried comparing the R41SA to the R41M, or other speaker equivalents, as a height channel? I'd be more interested to see the quality difference between two "like" speakers.

Tried the r41m as atmos. Overall Great little speaker but the sound is definitely not my flavor and they dip to somewhere around 1 ohm at 250hz! Out of respect for myself and my amp I simply cannot run something like that in any setup . Paid 88$ for them and they went back. Typical klipsch nonsense if you ask me.

On the wall above the front speakers, on the ceiling above the front speakers or as Dolby recommends just about above your seating position (I’m worried about this one as I don’t want the “atmospherics” to be localized.

@Snskch3 2 года назад

Nice video! I have those Klipsch atmos speakers to go with my much much higher end Klipsch towers. I wonder how those better Klipsch atmos stack up to the prime elevation. I do like the port of the elevation. Also would it be weird to have svs atmos with a full Klipsch setup? I was also thinking of adding the prime surrounds for rear surrounds possibly. Thanks.

@ealanosborne 2 года назад

Sure it’s best to keep your speakers timbre-matched, but it’s usually more important with your larger ear-level speakers. I don’t see any harm in getting Prime Elevations for your height channels! 🤘

@Snskch3 2 года назад

@@ealanosborne that’s what I was thinking as well. Appreciate it.

@keef78 Год назад

So if you stuck the svs elevations to the wall with velcro how well did the bass port work? as the speaker is meant to be away from the wall on that bracket. Did having it flush to the wall mess with the sound any? And how strong was the velcro hold for these speakers? I'm considering it but a tad worried they'll come crashing down.

@ealanosborne Год назад

The SVS Prime Elevations were the only ones where I couldn't velcro them directly to the ceiling because of that bass port. I had to carefully velcro the bracket to the ceiling, then slide the speaker in the bracket. Pretty sketchy, honestly, but it worked long enough for the tests. I wouldn't do that as a permanent solution, though. 😄 All the others, though, I would trust heavy duty velcro to hold them for a long time, given their design.

@TwoGuyzTech 2 года назад

Awesome breakdown! We agree 100% with your picks, in our opinion the Prime Elevations are the best all-around atmos speaker in this lineup. :)

@ealanosborne 7 месяцев назад

@@laatinable Honestly, it should be your ultimate goal to have everything timbre matched. But if money is an issue, having Atmos speakers that are a different brand is going to be fine for awhile, since Atmos effects are typically going to be fairly subtle and atmospheric.

You could mount it on the ceiling if you’d like. But in the interest of time (and not wanting to put holes in the ceiling) I didn’t. Out of all that I tested, the SVS speakers are the only ones with a bass port on the back, so you have to use those brackets to keep that space between the wall/ceiling and the bass port.

But I also don’t have any experience (yet) with any of Klipsch’s more expensive RP line, which is on par with SVS’s Ultra series. So they’re neck and neck in a lot of ways.

Here in Canada the Prime Elevation costs about 2x more then the Klipsch R40sa. 400.00 vs 800.00 roughly. So my question is this. Would you feel the prime elevation is two times better? Would be great if you had a rating scale for each speaker out of 10 standalone and in concert with the whole system.

@ealanosborne 4 месяца назад

Hmmm…yeah, since the Prime Elevation was the best out of this group of speakers, I’d give it 10/10. But the Klipsch would probably be 6.5/10, so in concert with the rest of the system, it would still be a good choice, since the brunt of the audio is still going to be your front LCR, and more subtle effects reserved for the heights. 👍

@ealanosborne Год назад

In-ceiling speakers are all roughly similar, so there are plenty to choose from. Although one design style I’d highly recommend is an in-ceiling that is angled inside the housing. Not the kind where just the tweeter swivels - no - the kind where the entire speaker is angled, so you can install it in a way where it’s pointing at your listening position, not just shooting straight down. Like the Clearus 8” or 6.5” speakers from Aperion Audio, for example. 👍

I think you should probably watch Andrew Jones talk on his Pioneer concentric driver speakers 🔊 and why he went with that design. These speakers are small and therefore the speaker response isn’t really relevant. You have to understand that the bass travels a lot slower than the mids and treble so when you don’t go with the concentric drivers, it’s going to muddy the sound in a reflection setup. You need the sound to reach you at the same time. I’m not being rude. I’m just explaining how it works. So if you’re going on wall/in ceiling etc, then you would want the normal separate woofer and tweeter, but still keep in mind that even if you set your Atmos crossover it’s still only going to produce what the engineer cut off the frequency at (unless you are using the virtual Atmos setting where it’s upmixing to Atmos from say normal 5.1 or 2.0 etc).

I like my RP-500SA, Chorus II, Academy, and RP-250S setup. Later (when in a detached dwelling) I will be adding a couple subs. Now I have to hold the Chorus II's back or get neighbors leaving letters on my door. :) edit: running through a Denon 3500H

@csimet 6 месяцев назад

My issue with all of them is radiation pattern when placing them on top of your front/rear speakers... if it is wide or even medium-wide, then by the time the sound goes up, bounces off the ceiling and reaches your seating position, it has lost so much energy (dB) they become lost in the sound field. No real noticeable direction... it just seems kind of "up there." I'm experimenting with mounting them on adjustable wall stands high up so that they are only about 1-2 feet below the ceiling, still pointed up. Less initial distance to the bounce and should keep the pattern tighter once it reaches my seats. More focused with less distance to travel. The brackets allow me to fine tune the direction. Mounting them directly to the wall is suboptimal because you can't angle them very well, if at all, from their designed placement angle. I don't want or like the look of ceiling speakers, so mounting them on the ceiling or getting in-ceiling speakers is not an option for me (and many people).

Btw, if you do happen to do a 2nd version of this video with more expensive it would be great if you could get your hands on a pair of canton height channels. Apparently they’re amazing, but cost an arm and a leg.

@@Usman012813 That would be a great idea reviewing the Cantons, I'm running the AR-500 as front firing height speakers (5.1.2). The models 400, 500 & 800 basically all run about the same specs, however they use different materials for the driver, tweeter & cabinet finish. So the more you pay, the more precise is the sound!

3 out of the 4 of those speakers makes a bookshelf version that is cheaper and sounds better because its a better speaker. The horrible idea of cutting the cabinet volume in half to add a dum angle that you could just make with a speaker bracket makes me scratch my head as to why people are buying these for any reason other than astetics. In other words if you bought any of those 3 speakers you were kind of ripped off even though its you're fault for not noticing the obvious. I personally liked the design from toids audio the best which was DIY with a concentric 10" with a 14 x 14 x 7 box or somewhere around there. The box design is my favorite which is wide and shallow

Klipsch is well-know to cheat with their sensitivity figures. It's in-room sensitivity (reflections are present) rather than the standard method - anechoic (reflections are absorbed). To correct, subtract 3 dB from the Klipsch figures.

I think it's key that we point out that you need to subtract at least 3-7db sensitivity (depending on the model) from any Klipsch product, as their testing methods and reporting are different from every other manufacturer on the planet... It's literally the largest industry bamboozle by a manufacturer... How many Klipsch owners do you see on all these forums saying, "Look at my (insert Klipsch model here) and how they are 98db sensitive compared to (insert model here of other brands) and their 92 dB sensitivity... WRONG! - If we were to actually test them on the same playing field you would see the Klipsch would come in WAYYYY lower, while typically, other brands would be super close to their claim.

@pepeltoro444 Год назад

FYI: ATMOS speakers have a different crossover than a regular speaker. In the case of the Emotiva, it has a switch to go from reflective to directive. They also offer a non ATMOS version of the same speaker for surrounds that is identical minus the crossover. So its not just an angled box that makes it different. The Audioholics channel explains this in more detail. check out their vids.
