Actually I already said I'd eat my own hat on youtube if the Atmos speakers convince me of discrete elevation. I also plan on measuring them and the HRTF response at the AV receiver end. BTW I just finished a very detailed article about Atmos Enabled speakers with some industry expert feedback...

Andrew Robinson, formerly of Emotiva and now an independent producer, says negative style reporting is hurting the AV industry. He singles us out b/c of our recent critical coverage of Dolby Atmos and basically implies that only positive coverage should be done to save the shrinking and fragile...

200 dB scale. Come on man! Also is that a graph you generated from a measurement system or derived from the Room EQ software? If the latter, don't believe it. Audio Measurements: The Useful vs. the Bogus in Consumer Audio | Audioholics

I disagree. If you first get all subs to properly sum and level match and then apply a global EQ, you can really improve things. This is NOW how Audyssey does it. It's how Harman's SFM system does it and it works. My experience with MCACC is the same as the poster here, it doesn't do much of...

Trust me I relate. MY daughers school uniforms were about $1k. Since there are no good public schools in our area I have both of my kids in private and it's costing me about $18-20k/yr. That's more than I spent in 3 years at the University to earn my B.S.E.E. Then when you're looking for a...

LMAO trying to blend those Onkyo Atmos speakers with your Revels. Maybe Revel will come out with their own module some day.

Rich just give it another 4-5 years. When Dolby comes out with Gen2 Atmos they will speak how wonderfully better it is than anything before it just like they are speaking about Atmos today compared to Dolby TrueHD a few years ago. If you look at my interview with Dolby on TrueHD back in 2007...

4 Ways Dolby Atmos Can Gain Consumer Appeal A new Atmos editorial: 4 Ways Dolby Atmos Can Gain Consumer Appeal | Audioholics

Unless a future iteration of Atmos works on getting sound to project below you ;) I can see it now, speakers on the floor firing up at the listener or perhaps firing down and bouncing off the floor. Anything is possible.

Nice Setup. My advice is to crossover ALL speakers at 80Hz. Run mono bass + LFE to the T2 subs and your 1212/R. Optimize location of the 1212 sub to best blend with the dual 1010s. Level match, and properly set delay to your subs if you have independent control of more than one sub...

I know what your saying, but Yes they are. 2.83V at 1 meter is the standard to measure sensitivity. They are about 2db more efficient than my 8ohm reference bookshelf speakers rated at 88db at 1watt/m. for more info on this topic, read...

I don't know all of the specifics but from the AVR side, I'd imagine it's like anything else they've been doing over the years. You license Atmos you probably get all of the older Dolby tech along with it too. This is the first time for Dolby type speakers in the consumer market as far as I...

My understanding is speaker manufacturers have to pay a licensing fee to brand their speakers as "Atmos Enabled". Hence that might explain why Definitive Technology is charging $500/pr for a 3" paper treated Atmos speaker module. On the flip side, Dolby doesn't make any money if the installer...

What happens when you stand up or move your seat? LOL.

This is a great point about the CBT suggested by Dr. Toole. I've spoken to him many times about this. Also as I stated in my first Atmos video, most people have their surrounds on a wall elevated a few feet above ear level making Atmos elevation speakers unusable as they are currently being...

You should be ok. Onkyo's have pretty meaty amp section and the Ultra's are very efficient. Keep it running cool as everyone suggested here. Also you should use 80Hz if you have a powered sub. Let the sub handle the low frequencies especially since you have a very good one.

Trading Amplifier Quality for Features in AV Receivers - A new Trend? | Audioholics

Dolby Atmos WILL Succed! An alternative viewpoint As I stated before we allow all viewpoints to be expressed on this site. As such, Steve Munz wrote up his perspective on Dolby Atmos. Unless you've been living under a rock, you're probably aware of Atmos, the next generation object-based...

Yes and sadly we see the same abuse of psuedoscience trying to debunk or cause doubt about man made climate change. Hopefully the real science will prevail in this case too but I digress.

There are some companies that misapply NRC science using the results of their often two-dimensionally run blind tests to conclude better parts don't matter. SVS is not like that. They use high quality parts and instead use the acoustical facilities and research done by Dr. Floyd Toole to...
