That's a good question @ar surround , and that's something I realised after placing it at the bottom cabinet/section. I had to put the amp on top so that it has proper ventilation. In addition to that, I'll get an AC Infinity Aircom T10 on top to give it a better temperature.

Hooweeever, that rearrangement/placement compromised the placement of the center speaker. As you can see the central channel is now aligned properly vs. the front speakers, as well as the sweet spot, though the TV isn't. You can't have it all.

I saw you mentioned you upgraded to RF-7s - what did you upgrade from and curious to know if you were satisfied with the upgrade? I have RP280Fs that do the job, but I feel they are a little lackluster in 2 channel listening, which hopefully would mean a meaningful upgrade to multichannel.

It's a day to night difference. Do it, they are a bit pricey but they sound stellar even for stereo, and that was my issue with the RP 8000 Fs.

They consume so much power as well, so if you don't have an external amp, I'd suggest getting one.

Not to hi-jack this thread, but I just upgraded my setup, soon more pics and detail about it.
 
Little did I know I wasn’t settled yet…
I just upgraded my home theater setup to an 9.1.4 array. To make it 360/Dolby Atmos immersive, thus by adding wide speakers.

Loving both the new RP 600M II model of Klipsch bookshelves, as well as these, tough-as-nails, Monolith stands.

9 ground speakers, 1 subwoofer, 4 ceiling (height) speakers.

In the wise words of Steven Tyler, “life’s a journey, not a destination”, so I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the ride.

Welcome to the 9.1.4

Comparing with mine, I see your wides in a little restricted location, "not enough wides", due to side space in your full room.

I am lucky to have been able to place the sides and wides in a wider position than the Fronts and Rears. All my 9 floor speakers are almost located in a circle. When the content of the Wides is significant, I feel a greater sound amplitude (wide) than when the music comes only from the fronts.

I hope you enjoy the many Atmos mixes that make use of the Wides.

After the picture I opened them up a bit so they don’t look that close to each other now.

Nice to see your Octobans & and 2nd Snare drum.
 
Question for the wise and techy people in here

I'm currently having troubleshoot with my amp. The amp is an Emotiva which is running the front speakers (Klipsch RF 7 III) as well as the center (RC 64 III) and the wides (RP 600M II), it's a 6 channel amp, so I still got room for 1 more, and this XPA amp is taking the load off the receiver (Denon AVR).

The issue is that the amp, after, let's say, an hour-ish of atmos music playback, shuts down. It's not the temperature, since I have an AC Infinity fan that marks 87 F when it shuts off, so it's an okay temperature.

What could be possibly wrong?
I googled this, and I read that it could be a circuit's fault, and I have noticed that the left front speaker needs some adjustment on the wire so that it sounds. I'll start by replacing cables. but if the problem remains, what could it be?

Thanks!

If you have to mess with the wiring going to the left speaker, then that is a good place to start. The amp might be shutting down to protect itself / speakers when it sees the load going in and out on that left channel.
