Klipsch RP-502S in std stereo setup?
Hello to all...
Thoughts please:
Why not use the Klipsch RP-502 Surround Sound Speakers (or the Discoed 250s) as fronts in a standard 2channel stereo setup?
Could work close-up to a back wall, might present a deep wide soundstage?
Kinda like the Bose concept of forward (and side) sound radiation...
Room about 15' wide: I'd set them up about 10' apart center to center, and 10-12' to my listening point across

interesting, I use these, specifically designed for a 'wide center' image http://www.hifi-classic.net/review/dbx-soundfield-100-135.html these Klipsch would be too wide for 2 channel music, poor imaging of all instrument locations, keep in mind, center, or any instrument near center is a phantom image created by specific balance/imbalance of directional left and right. The outside drivers will be filling the room with side reflections, and if too close to a side wall, the outside bass will be boosted. but, combined with a separate center speaker might do ok for small home theater, giving you a wider than most sound stage i.e. 3 people wide on sofa viewing movie/music concert ... one idea is to try them, and if not satisfied, keep them and use them for surround as designed. If they are the mains, for more bass, consider how you would use a sub or pair of subs now or in the future. for home theater, a single sub. with more directional mains, for 2 channel music, I prefer a stereo pair of directional subs next to the mains for more bass, but in your ’wide’ setup, ...? |
