can share more details on how you do it?

Add Dirac room correction

no.
wanna know that which will give a bigger wow impact.
dirac or atmos (more speaker count)

10awg is definitely overkill

In multi-channel audio, room correction is king as speakers interaction is a PITA to fix. If you think critical 2 speaker placement is tough, wait till you integrate 7 floor level speakers with bass management.

If you're talking about RM100k HiFi with 2 speakers vs RM100k HT with 11 speakers, you know that there's serious compromise on the HT setup. It's not even a comparison.

Before you know it, your favorite track could be mastered on a pair of JBL Pro speakers.

typically, +40Hz the value mentioned in the spec sheet. if it says 40Hz-20KHz, set XO to 80Hz.

what's your klipsch speaker model?

it will be wrong if the driver can't handle it

You have misunderstood. What I meant was the speaker can't handle the lower frequencies.

It means relative to reference 0dB. Theater A 0dB is the same as Theater B 0dB. That is the purpose of calibration, so that there is a standard volume.

True

Yes, but it can't handle that frequency well. Playing 40Hz on it gonna tax that driver.

Your understanding of speaker is correct, just that you misunderstood my sentence because you keep on thinking about big towers (rated at 45Hz) with XO set to 80Hz. Start thinking the opposite. Imagine using a small satellite speakers (and most small bookshelf speakers) and set the XO to 80Hz. In this case, setting 80Hz is wrong because the driver can't handle the low frequency well.

XO Hz is not 75dB. It's typically -3dB point.

Audyssey does not set the XO frequency or speaker size. It can't properly splice a main speaker with subwoofer because it doesn't measure the combine response sweep. Even Dirac can't. Maybe Dirac Unison can, but we have no news of it.

Are you sure there are people who set master volume to 75dB (as shown on the front panel/GUI display) ? That is impossible. What you see is 75 / 80 / 85 / 90 , definitely not in dB unit. That is in "absolute" display, which varies by manufacturer.
A quote from D&M manual:


Reference level is a standard provided the system is calibrated correctly. That's the way a content is presented. Production 0dB = Theater A 0dB = Theater B 0dB

any recommendations for brackets that allow me hook up my bookshelf speakers to the ceiling (for atmos)?

each speaker weighs 6kg.

from the manual:
Set the gain of the headphone amplifier. Set this according to the impedance of the connected headphones. It is recommended that this is set on the “Low” side if the headphones have low impedance and on the “High” side if they have high impedance.

your money is better spent on acoustic treatment

if the red box is your surround, that means the setup is the old conventional 5.1 setup.

are you planning for 7.1?

No problem
