I would say it's almost a wash. The difference between 7" and 8" in this application isn't going to be much at all because you're not able to do a proper enclosure (you're using the inside of the wall for enclosure). The C783 speaker only requires a small hole, which may help in certain ceiling locations. The crossover on the W873 might be a little bit better. The W873 is a couple hundred dollars more.
Revel in walls speakers as ceiling speakers
My sales guy is recommending putting in Revel W873 Speakers in my Atmos setup instead of C783 in ceiling speakers.
He believes you get better sound having the speakers separated. I cant find any info about this online or in the forums. Has anyone gone this route? Would you recommend it?
The W873 has a 7" Woofer and separate tweeter. The C783 is a 8" Woofer with tweeter over woofer like most round ceiling speakers.
My Floor Speakers are F328be (3 x 8" woofers) and c426be (4 x 6" woofers) Center Channel. I am currently using F206 as my surrounds but plan to upgrade to the m126be down the road. Rears are S206 bipolars and jl audio f113 subs. All powered by Lygndorf mp-60 and lygndorf 2400 amps. (plan on upgrading to mxa-8400 when available next couple months.)
Thanks for any input.
