Looking to do a 5.1.2 setup for a home theatre

[chipotleaway]

I know very little about this stuff, am not an audiophile but would like to make sure I'm not spending money in the wrong way.

I am currently working with a 55" OLED TV and a PS4 to play blu-ray media. I am not sure if it is recommended to upgrade to a dedicated blu-ray player.
This system will be for movies and very little music listening.

To get Dolby Atmos, I am looking to add this system:

Amazon.com

And this receiver:

Dimensions and placement rough in shown in images (dims in inches).

Any recommendations on things I'm missing? Looking at a $2000 budget, but can go over if there are holes in my setup. Thanks!

Can't install in-ceiling speakers?

Those upward-firing Atmos speakers aren't very good even when compared to the cheapest in-ceiling speakers for Atmos sound.

I can do in ceiling speakers if it makes that much of a difference, just didn't want to if it was only a marginal gain. I cannot do in wall speakers at the rear (it is concrete)

Upward firing speakers are a waste of time and worse then not having them.

You could consider buying fewer better speakers and adding speakers over time. Fewer better speakers always bests more poorer ones.

Two or three good speakers up front and a sub is a very good way to start. If possible you should listen to speakers, if you can first. In my opinion there are far more lousy speakers, than good ones.

In-ceiling speakers make 100% Day-Night difference!!!

Go to Best Buy and listen to Klipsch speakers if you have not already. If you love how they sound, then get the Klipsch + in-ceiling for Atmos.

Don’t buy those upward-firing Atmos.
