So far I haven't measured or listened to ANY class D amps that equal the very best Class AB. The new Techniques Class D has me intrigued since it compensates its output based on load impedance. I want to get that one on my test bench!

If it were my theater, I'd prewire for front/rear height channels and front/back ceiling speakers and hope that the height prewires would get the usage with the new formats. I'm not a fan of putting speakers in a ceiling nor am I a fan of playing billiards with soundwaves either. I have NEVER...

Onkyo and Pioneer Finalize Sale...

You know it always vexes me when dealers leak this info that is supposed to be in confidence. I knew about the Auro thing for awhile but was told not to leak it. Very lame. Not sure about DTS UHD however since DTS seems absent from any discussions both with press and manufacturers.

You're wasting your time watching the non-Atmos version. Atmos also elevates bad scripts :)

turn that center T2 horizontal and move the sub module behind it or to the rear of the room. Upgrade your TV to front projection so you can see more than just speakers in your room!

I still have no idea how you're going to pull off a T2 as a center channel and still see your TV :rolleyes: Also how can you possibly get an immersive experience with just 5 speakers? Dolby want's at least 9 with 4 of them being the 3" paper driver type firing up at the ceiling :)

You should cancel your T2 order and see if Shane still has the Titus 2 prototypes (speaker on the right) that never went into production in favor for the modular 8T system. If you can figure out a way to ship and move those 400lbs speakers, they just may be your ticket! I heard them during...

Dolby Atmos and Auro-3D Demo Video http://youtu.be/mR0V8NbmAiw?list=UUF9cWy6zaWsgdAy-kv2q4VQ

That's good to hear b/c last their my wife and I had to leave their demo within minutes b/c it was WAY too loud and very shrill sounding.

I saw that episode of HT Geeks where Dolby also didn't provide any fixed requirements for distance between elevation speakers vs their companion speakers. Oddly at the Dolby Press conference at CEDIA, my understanding is they didn't agree with a unified speaker layout Auro was proposing where...

It's unclear if that is true since at least Gen1 Atmos implemented in AV receivers is based on 7.1 TrueHD plus at least 2 or 4 height channels to extract the objects. We plan on digging in deeper about this issue with our up coming formal interview with Dolby.

Ah very possible. The D&M demos our guys went to where in the HIPER room area of CEDIA which featured Marantz electronics, Snell speakers and Boston Acoustics ceiling speakers for the 4 height channels.

The D&M demo used in-ceiling speakers not reflective speakers. I wasn't at CEDIA this year as I stayed behind to take care of my wife's recovery but I will be there next year so I will keep a lookout for you. Thx.

Dolby Atmos and Auro-3D Demo Report Audioholics made the trip out Denver for the 2014 CEDIA Expo. For those that haven't been following A/V news, the big reveal in Denver was Dolby Atmos making its way to the home market, along with the competing Auro-3D format. Suffice it to say, we took in...

Audioholics 2014 Cedia Coverage Page Guys; Here is our official 2014 Cedia coverage page: CEDIA 2014 Expo Show Coverage Page | Audioholics We are still in the process of adding more coverage, and demo experience and an incredible interview with the President of Auro-3D. What a demo they gave!

Honestly this is very tricky if you don't have test gear to measure the outputs on hand. When I get an Atmos disc I will see if I can compare TrueHD vs Atmos layer via my AP to see what the output levels are via HDMI from the blu-ray player.

Updates to our Atmos Elevation Speaker Article Update 9/12/14: Regarding Building your own Atmos Speakers: Please note based on the directivity requirements of Dolby, you will likely achieve better results employing a coaxial two-way speaker (like what Atlantic Tech is doing) or a single...

Level matching is important when comparing speakers or different surround codecs. If for some reason Atmos tracks were played louder than their True HD 5.1 counterparts that could skew the results. I'm not saying that happened but its something to be aware of. I look forward to reading the...
