I hope you guys don't get sick of that movie at CEDIA in a few days. Oh boy. One thing I won't miss not going to CEDIA this year is seeing Transformer4 demos ;)

Not sure what you're implying here as we've favorably reviewed many speakers with multi-tweeters including JBL, RBH, Dali and others. If a designer knows how to implement them without causing appreciable acoustical interference then it could be advantageous for achieving higher output and...

Vinyl vs Dolby Atmos I just noticed that our 1+ year old article on Vinyl vs CD still gets MORE traffic than ALL of our Dolby Atmos articles combined. Do you care more about ancient Vinyl than new tech like Dolby Atmos?

Great choices. The SB13-Ultra is a fantastic sub and should work very well for you. If your space is relatively small and don't need massive output, you may also want to consider two SB-2000's. Dual subs help provide smoother bass for more listening seats if you set them up properly. Good luck.

You know I was thinking the same thing when I saw the Onkyo Atmos module. A Bose cube certainly seems like it would fit the bill and like you said, it would blend in nicely aesthetically. Heck get a few on brackets and angle them up towards the ceiling while you're at it! Just don't put the...

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...
