Finally got the wife's permission to upgrade our home theater room, so now I need some advice on the best way to allocate budget. I currently have a 5.1 system using Aperion Verus bookshelf and center front channels and Aperion Intimus bipole surrounds with an HSU sub, and we've been fairly happy with all products. At a minimum, I'd like to move to a 7.2 system probably using in-ceilings for my rear surrounds and a matching HSU sub, maybe replacing the bookshelves with Verus II towers. My question is, is it worth it to add 4 additional in-ceiling speakers to make it an Atmos system, or am I better off staying with a 7.2 system? Another alternative would be to try and sell the Aperions and move to an upgraded 7.2 system, but I'm not sure if upgrading the speakers would make enough of a noticeable difference to be worthwhile, especially since we've generally been happy with the Aperions to date.
Happy for any help!
