The Atmos police are watching :D

As Dr. Floyd Toole pointed out with physics and personal demo experience, Elevation speakers can never virtualize a sound source as good as a discrete direct firing speaker. Yes it can elevate the sound but it will also be quite scattered and narrowband and depends on many factors including...

Thanks for the great perspective from someone in the business for such as long of a time as you. I share much of your sentiments and concerns and I have done so in a humorous fashion via our first Atmos Youtube video but the Atmos police vilified me accordingly. I never dissed on Atmos as a...

Be careful, a criitical comment or negative impression of an Atmos upfiring speaker will bring out a witch hunt among its most passionate supporters ;)

Sean IMO I would wire for a standard 7.1 layout with 4 ceiling mounted options (2 front and 2 rear). For the front, rear and back channels, use 14/4 cable in case you want to use a pair of those cables to run Atmos elevation speakers. If you don't use Atmos Elevation speakers, parallel the...

If you can do flush mounted in-ceiling speakers, then I agree. I have a set for my surround back channels in my family room system but that won't be compatible with Gen 1 Atmos configurations so I will leave them as the back channels. I can't add in-ceiling speakers in ANY of my 3 theater...

IMO choosing a speaker solution that is ONLY compatible with one format is short sighted. I fear if consumers go that route and invest in Atmos Elevation speakers now, they may regret that decision later on if Auro 3D and DTS UHD become commercially successful. Of course, some people live for...

Awesome please share photos and your experiences when you get it all set up.

Read my article. There is NO reason why you can't simply use a pair of old bookshelf speakers. All of the processing and filtering is done at the AV receiver end as it should be, NOT at the speaker side.

The article is 7 years old. I simply reposted to frame around our video. I will see if we can make the change however as I agree.

That's because 80 about 1kHz is very directional. Bad idea b/c the physics don't support it like the diagrams have been showing. I have an article coming out that details more of this in a few days. IF you're using ceiling mounted speakers, I suggest treating them like any other surround...

Emotiva deleted the thread. Here is Andrew's article: <!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--> Biting the Hand That Feeds – How AV Reporting Is Damaging the Specialty AV Industry | ARC Cinema I don't want a war with Andrew. He seemed like a nice guy to me though <!--[if gte mso...

Denon vs Marantz Model Clarifications <!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--> I asked D&M for some clarity on this and here is what they said: The SR7009 would be the sister model to the AVR-X4100 and would gain: 2 extra channels 7.1 EXT Inputs Gold plated connections HDAM and...

Audyssey and High Frequency Correction I thought I'd chime in here to correct a few misconceptions being thrown around about Audyssey. <!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--> If you select the Audyssey curve it does NOT try to make the response FLAT to 20kHz. The Audyssey curve starts a gentle roll...

Andrew, thanks for the info. I very strongly disagree with you that banners don't work. They serve to brand a company and drive traffic to their websites which BTW our advertisers do track. Results are easily measured using tools like Google Analytics and DFP and believe me they are...

Holly crap that's funny. Man I've been speaking to Curt Hoyt of Trinnov. The man is a genius and makes my head spin. He really understands surround sound and Atmos. His is planning a contribution to my up coming article on Atmos speakers. Looking forward.

BTW there is a spirited debate on our Facebook page on this topic at: facebook.com/audioholics Here is a screen shot of a few of the comments.
