![]() ![]() Doing it this way is the quick hack to accurate Atmos and DTSX sound, and it is much easier than measuring everything exactly according to the Dolby guide. Basically, if you point at the rear base layer speaker (surround right for your setup) then move your arm in an arc up to the height, then over to the front height, then down to the front base speaker, each source should be roughly the same angle away, the physical distance isn't important as the receivers room correction or manual distance settings can fix that timing. The front heights should then be placed at an equal angular distance in front, so they will end up further away, but then they should be angled roughly towards the listener. Your positioning for the heights would be less than ideal, with 5 speakers on the base level you would want the rear heights to be essentially on top of the listener, in line with the surrounds which should be 10-15 degrees behind your head unless you plan to add rears immediately. Note ceiling height is 2.8m, and HT stands for the atmos speakers (not sure on their height yet). See my planned set up below, just a rough layout but open to suggestions. Let me know what your thoughts are and if you can recommend any other visually appealing speaker sets, and/or if you know of anyone offering good deals on Monitor Audio in Sydney metro area. I also can't go built in ceiling speakers for ATMOS so I am stuck with the downward facing wall types. My other requirement is a reasonably low profile side speakers of which the Monitor Audio Silver is 147mm, as the couch on the left is very close to the wall, much closer than in the diagram. Monitor Audio Silver C250 7G centre speakerīut these surround speakers don't seem to match very well asthetically to the atmos speakers. Monitor Audio Silver Fx 7G surround speakers Monitor Audio Silver AMS 7G atmos height speakers (all in gloss black, asthetically match is very good) Of course I will need to sell some things to fund this! So this is what I am considering: ![]() So with my move to atmos speakers my wife has been wanting me to make sure they are all from the same line so that they asthetically match whereas my interest is more for the sound, but I have caved into her need for looks rather than necesarily price. My surround speakers include an old Jamo Classic 2 Signature bookshelf as sides and KEF Q800DS as rears so quite a missmatch but have been happy with the sound. I am currently running 7.1 using Tannoy Precision 6.4 fronts and a Paradigm Studio CC 590 v5. I can go 7.1.4 but would need a seperate stereo amp so will probably stick with the 5.1.4 for the time being. I have my 4k Panasonic 820 and Denon AVR-X3700H capable of 5.1.4 which got me started. Hi Everyone, feeling a bit of fomo so I have decided to take the plunge into Dolby Atmos. ![]()
