For Surrounds, i dont think you really have timber match. It is mainly recommended for front LCR. That too, not compulsory

Timbre matching preferred. I had Wharfedales as surrounds with the Tannoy LCRs, and the Wharefedales sounded meek compared with the Tannoys. I moved to Tannoy surrounds later. Also, the Wharfedales were of lesser sensitivity. If not from the same company/model, you could check if the surrounds have identical sensitivities and impedances as the LCRs.

You can add any decent performing speaker which can deliver maximum frequencies between 20hz and 20khz. It should be 6-8 ohms and capable to operate with the AVR. The most important is placement of the same.

Suggest you audition the best ones in performance with familiar content and make the purchase.

How is polk xt 90 or polk bipole. But all my speakers are klipsch. Shall Ibuse polk as rare surrounds and considering indiq audio also.

timber matching is great even for surrounds. But, if you have no choice, then you can go with other speakers from same or different brand. It doesn't do much harm. As the timbre of same sound coming from your front differs from the same sound if comes from the rear.
As said, if you can find the same model speakers, the difference will be less.

Shall we use bipole speakers as rare surrounds.

Shall we use bipole speakers as rare surrounds.

Yes, if you want to cover a large area, more rows of seats. Otherwise normal is just sufficient.

 

[ajuvignesh]

Wait. You’re going from 5.1.2 to 7.1.2? It would not be a big difference. Instead go with 5.1.4.

It’s recommended to use bipole for side surrounds, monopole for rear surrounds.

I used to have the Klipsch R-41M - current model is R-40M and R-50M. I added a keyhole for about 200/- I got from the local market that I could use to wall Mount the speakers.

Klipsch also has the R-14S bipole model that can be wall mounted

 

[Phani24]

I have 51m as side surrounds. Now planning to go for 40m as rear surrounds. Klipsch bipoles are expensive

[Phani24]

Can you please advise where I need to install atmos speakers of second set.
Thinking of some where above the projector.and on the wall rear xurrounds

Nope I think the R-14S is same price is R-40M - they have bipoles that are more expensive but R-14S is not

 

[Nagaraj S]

The Atmos ceiling speakers have never worked for me except in very few scenes. Maybe, their angle of placement is way off, or there isn’t a lot of heights effects mixed into movie tracks.

However, when I moved from 5.1.4 to 7.1.2, the immersion from the extra surrounds was remarkable! The sound now is much more enveloping (with Neural X, horizontal plane) with 7.1 than 5.1.

 

[Phani24]

Finally bought 40m

 

[Phani24]

Calibrated as 5.1.4 and 7.1.2.
