Thx Wayne. Rick has been very helpful. And your suggestion as well. I'll renegotiate my front 3, and make them bigger. T5 or bigger. I've had a 5.1 with 2 upfiring Klipsch Atmos speakers, but in my dedicated room, I'd really like to make it what I want. And I've always wanted a 7.1 system. Even my wife agrees, so that's a plus lol. I just like hearing others configs as well. Money is no issue when it comes to getting the "right" sound. Thx Wayne for your input. I'll look at bigger T's in front. Even if my room is considered "small"? It wouldn't be overkill? Bigger is better I guess. Lol

Ahhh. I understand. There are so many NEW speakers coming out that it's hard to decide. 2 questions Rick... Your setup says T Ref Fronts..and T1 surround. Does that mean you have the new T refs? And 4 subs arou d the roo.? How does THAT sound. Earthshaking I bet.
Also, what are your opinions on the new Invisa Signature Points? Better than a tower?? From the write up, they sound amazing.. Thx for helping with my million questions.. haha

Yes, UPS, Rick is the MAN with THE surround system!!!!
Mine is almost the same size room as yours. I had T 2s in front, and now TOnes, moved the T 2s to the surround position (T 3s in the rear, I too like 7.1). And NO, they are NOT too much for the room. Bass all around is amazing, wonderful, highly recommended.
Go for the best you can do, you will enjoy it, your wife will too, for years to come!!!!!
God Bless,
Wayne

Thanks UPS, my system was not exactly planned, just happened that way. And sorry if it sounds like I am showing off, I don't mean that.
I think you got the idea though, just sharing with you the advantages of towers and bass all around. And mostly, just good GEt speakers up front!!!!
This forum is a bunch of good people that like to share and help each other.
So, whatever you decide, pls keep us informed and share with us your experiences.
This is fun, God Bless,
Wayne

Hey, UPS

Yes, the new T ref's as fronts, and the T1's, former fronts, as surrounds. All LFE connected. And, yes, also, the bass is amazing! Room filling, chair, breastbone shaking when the soundtrack calls for it. BUT always appropriate for what's being played. Never bloated, muddy. I'm with Wayne on this. love GOOD bass. A sub in every corner works for me.

Re your question about the new Invisa Signature Point Source speaker, I've read about it also. The speaker configuration is very similar to the Supercenter XXL, so I don't doubt it will be a winner. Moderator Dude could provide better feedback. If you like bass, I think a question you should get settled in your mind is where you want it to come from. ALL GEt speakers work together seamlessly. You can supplement bass with free standing subs with any combination of GEt speakers, or you can use powered Triton towers to "kill two birds with one stone".

There's no wrong answer here. Any combo of GEt speakers you choose that gives you the surround coverage, and bass levels that you want, will work. So many ways to get there with GEt....
