For a 5.1.4 setup, what would be the best choice as my fronts and surrounds? The Polk Audio XT70 or the RP-600M. Assume the Polk is at 350 a pair and the Klipsch is at 250 a pair (based on previous black Friday pricing). Everything will be equalized with Dirac Live. If none of these are good then what would be around $300 a pair (refurbished or new, not used)?

As of right now this is the setup:

If you haven't mounted it yet, for installing the Epson Home Cinema 3800 to our projector mount, you'll likely have to use a 3-arm setup with the front-center and two back mounting holes in the projector.  The 4-arm setup can't quite reach all the corners, but everything should fit fine the other way!

And I SWEAR the other topic is a repost of something he did a month or so ago.

I like smart home and home theater tech.

My 5.1 setup consists of: Sony x90cj 75" TV, Yamaha RX-V4A Receiver, Apple TV 4k gen 2, SVS SB-1000 Pro Sub, KEF Q350 L/R, KEF Q250c Center, KEF Q150 rears.

My smart home is built around Home Assistant.

I mean if I am spending almost 10K on something I would rather be doing it correctly
