I think you will all find this interesting. I proposed the following questions to a trusted source in the industry and here are the responses. <!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--> Q: Can you please give me one reason Atmos will benefit the end user only implementing a traditional 5.1 or 7.1...

This is a great thread and I love the discussion. Man Tom's article is pissing off a few industry folks and manufacturers. I'm glad I didn't write this one but seriously it seems increasingly difficult to express an opinion these days without offending people. I even offered a particular...

I'm waiting for an Atmos TV that fires drivers all around the bezel to replace my discrete 7.1 system in my theater room :)

The little Lexus Hybrid car as well as the Acura ILX Hybrid driver pretty poorly for their asking price. IMO they are NOT worth the gas savings. I did have a Volkswagen Jetta TDI Diesel Sportswagen that averaged 40MPG and drove better than the Acura and Lexus Hybrids but Diesel fuel is...

Bass represents over 60% of the experience in home theater. It's ALWAYS a better idea to improve your bass than to add a few whizzer cone Atmos speakers into the mix. I also agree, get a solid 5.1 system going before adding more speakers!

Independently EQing each sub is usually the WRONG approach. You get far better and more predictable results if you: 1. properly locate each sub in the room as best as possible 2. properly set level and delay of each sub independently 3. choose the right crossover point (80Hz is a great starting...

It's hard to stay impartial when you look at how ridiculous this is :)

With almost 6ft tall speakers you already have "height' built in by the enormous vertical soundstage and lack of dynamic compression. No need for a 3" whizzer cone firing up towards Cybertron ;) though if you really want it, I'm sure Shane can throw a 6.5" Beryllium Phase-plug driver in a box...

WOW! $500/pr for a Def Tech Atmos module featuring a single 3" driver :eek: A60 | Definitive Technology®

Would also be nice if the home version of Atmos truly did speaker mapping as what was being claimed. Right now it appears you MUST use the exact speaker placements Dolby is recommending to take advantage of Atmos. If your running just a standard 5.1 or 7.1 speaker configuration today and do...

yes and with similar bandwidth and dynamic capabilities. :cool:

The magic DSP processing of Atmos that Dolby has yet to publicly disclose somehow makes this speaker a "preferred" solution over a discrete ceiling mounted option. :rolleyes:

Guys; We made some updates to our Atmos article based on the Dolby Atmos marketing literature posted at AVS Forum. So please have a second pass at the editorial now. Dolby Atmos For Home Theater Explained with Video Interview | Audioholics Notice the proposed Atmos speaker diagram attached...

Watch the video again. Just b/c the CD format is technically superior to Vinyl doesn't mean that the media is being used to its full potential to take advantage of its superiority. Just b/c we can measure something (small differences in cables) doesn't mean we can declare audibility either...

We just uploaded a Youtube Debate on this topic to support the article. I hope you enjoy. http://youtu.be/hh-23EUP-s8

UPDATE to the Review: It’s important to note that even though this unit says it supports UHD/4K pass-through, there’s was caveat during the time of writing this review at least. Our review sample of the RX-V577 could only pass UHD signals at a maximum of 30fps (frames per second)...

Yep it is horrible. My parents have it enabled on their TV and they won't let me turn it off. Its painful to watch when I visit so most of the time I have them visit us instead ;)

All very valid points of concern. There are some folks on AVS Forum that have heard the demo and liked it but I suspect they liked the ambient effects the atmos speakers were providing since I too share your sentiment that they will provide questionable accuracy for directionality and even then...

Unfortunately I'm the only person at Audioholics with the proper gear and know-how to measure amplifier performance. I reserve doing that for products that are interesting to measure. As you stated, measuring a $500 receiver has little value but getting a flagship product or monobloc amp is...
