Hesitate to post this on this site as I know the reaction that's coming
For my upstairs setup, I have in ceiling canton's for Atmos. They are great and I upmix everything to Dolby Audio and I think it's pretty immersive
Downstairs, I don't think speakers in the ceiling is possible. I have ELAC toppers that fit perfectly on top of 4 Infinity R263's (got 4 for $100 total a couple years back used so hard to turn that down). I also was upmixing all as I figured why not make use of them. I'm finding that at the right levels they do add something. But I was thinking something is not real impressive about my 263s (and might be right). But i've found that I get better sound in many instances out of just going 5.1 with the 263's. And I'm appreciating my 263s more now.
So question is anyone else upmixing all content using Atmos enabled speakers and is that proving to be a benefit to you? OR are you picking your spots based on the content and whether it contains Atmos material? I hate to trash them since they are there and do benefit at times. But curious if others are using these and how often they leverge them via upmixing
Thanks
