Track Lighting Fixtures to Host Ceiling Speakers?

[sterling shoote]

Seems to me track lighting rails would be a magnificent way to get Dolby Atmos capability, using active wireless speakers, yes? I have not seen this concept however covered in any A/V discussion. Wondering if any here have indulged in this idea?

Many track lighting systems use tracks that are not very strong. The lights themselves are quite light weight and/or their center of gravity is directly below the track. I suspect many of these tracks will not support the weight of the speakers unless the center of gravity of the speaker is directly below the track. Once you use some type of system to aim the speaker properly it is very likely that the speakers center of gravity will not be centered on the track which will result in the track bending and warping. Perhaps if you could find some very light speakers but normally light speakers do not translate into good sounding speakers. Good luck...
