Hey folks. I have a Yamaha receiver that supports Atmos and DTS-X. And just bought a new 70” TV that should be able to transmit a DTSX and/or Atmos signal via HDMI arc. So new it’s still in the box. I have yet to experience Atmos or DTSX sound via lack of not having a device that offers it. Just got my son a PS5 for Xmas so that offers it as well when watching BluRay.
So on to the point. I have a 5.2 setup right now consisting of and in-wall center channel (3-way, dual 5.25 with tweeter), sitting approximately 45 inches from the floor to center of cone, centered below the TV. The 2 in-wall fronts that are approx 71 inches floor to center of cone (2-way, 8inch woofers w/tweeter), on each side of the tv. And 2 in-ceiling surround speakers (8inch w/tweeters), placed in the ceiling evenly spaced a few feet behind the listening location. I ran the wiring in the wall from the banana plugs into the attic with the plan to add 2 more of the same in-ceiling speakers to accommodate 7.2. And Atmos/DTS-X, as I am under the impression that Atmos requires at least two up or down firing speakers. I have the two rears down firing but really the ceiling is the only place I can add 2 more speakers anyway.
My question is where do I put these last 2 speakers? Close to the fronts? Centered in between fronts and rears? Same width as the fronts and rears or out wider? Or does it even matter? I can give more details on the room layout and provide pics if needed. Just don’t wanna give too much useless information out of the gate if it’s unnecessary. Thanks in advance guys/gals.
I know my knowledge in Home Audio pales in comparison to what a lot of those in here know. So excuse any comments or assumptions I may have had that are completely inaccurate.
