I was looking at the above ,. The 9080s for the two front speakers with the Atmos modules attached to them, along with the equivalent centre, CS9080 I believe it's called.    For my two rears I was looking at the 9040s again with attached Atmos modules.

What are your views on these speakers?  Is their much of a trade off with built in subs in the two floorstandng front speakers as opposed to deicated subs ?

What would be the equivalent Klipsch speaker set and how would they compare ?

Thanks in advance

Hi GeneticDeviant.

To be honest, I have no idea about how those speakers would perform.
They are not a brand we have ever stocked and from looking on google they are only available in the USA.

We would not stock Klipsch speakers either unfortunately.

How about Monitor Audio would are a fantastic manufacture and always get 5 star reviews on their products and they sound excellent!
Perhaps the Silver 500's

The silver range can also been built into a 5.1 pack

There is also Fyne Audio who are a very new company but again are getting rave reviews. We have been using these for demos 
Something like the F502 priced at £1599

Again this can be built into a 5.1 package.

You would need to add Atmos speakers into the above sets, like the KEF A50A priced at £449

Let me know if any of these brands and ranges might suit and I can see what deals can be worked on them.
