Surround Speakers

[GFOviedo]

I’ve got limited space in my living room. I was thinking of going with in-ceiling speakers, but now I’m thinking of buying four of the Definitive Tech Oro Center 400’s instead and mounting them on the wall or ceiling. Anyone done something similar?

Wow, that's a terrific price ! I had the DT 600 system and it did a pretty decent job. Small drivers, you're likely to want a sub.

im only using them as surround speakers. My main set up is pair of Chane A5rx-c, center Chane A2rx-c and sunset PSA-XV15.

DO IT!!
Set them up temporarily and see how they sound (not too sure about up on the ceiling).
If you like it, you've had a great win.
If you don't like them, sell them on Ebay for $75 each.
You win either way.

I really do not want to be reselling these. I’ll think about it for a few more days

how is the chane center for dialog ?

 

[GFOviedo]

The center channel dialog is fine. I had to increased the dB's within the Denon settings to get the voice during movies to be to my liking.

 

[GFOviedo]

Chane was supposed to come out with a bigger center channel, but so far they have not built it yet.

So, after doing some research, it appears that bipole/dipole speakers are recommended for surround purposes. I am looking into possibly buying some bipole/dipole speakers for surround, and moving the Cambridge Minx21 to surround back purposes.
