I'm asking for a friend. He has $1000 to spend on a home theater receiver. He is just starting to build his home system and renting a home for the next year so the room size probably shouldn't be factored in. He will also eventually update his speakers. He can get a Yamaha RX-V2085 or a Denon...

So based on what I've been reading on here, if you want to watch something that originates from an app on the Smart TV like Netflix or Plex, there's no way to pass an Atmos signal from the Samsung One Connect to the receiver because neither HDMI ARC nor Optical Out will do it. Correct? I'll have...

I do appreciate you educating me on this matter. As an engineer, I do try to understand things without a preconceived bias and recognize there is a world of misinformation out there. The link you provided does have a lot of good information and after-all, it is the website for Dolby. I spent...

I replied to this in my original post. https://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/threads/sloped-ceiling-speakers-for-atmos.360572/page-2#post-4695499

You are welcome. I’m installing speakers in my sloped ceiling this weekend. I purchased some that are fully adjustable. Hoping/expecting them to work.

Take a look at this link and see where he talks about aiming ceiling speakers. It doesn’t appear to me they should be pointed straight down. Im trying to understand this also. http://www.acousticfrontiers.com/dolby-atmos-dispersion-requirements-for-ceiling-speakers/

It's now 1 1/2 months later. Have you installed teh Klipsch Quintet speakers yet?

In the link below they talk about Dispersion requirements: straight vs. aimed http://www.acousticfrontiers.com/dolby-atmos-dispersion-requirements-for-ceiling-speakers/ Did I misunderstand something about aiming speakers?

I’ve been running a 5.1 system for over 5 years using a Onkyo preamp, a Classe CA-2200 & a Classe CA-3200. So I’m shopping for amps if I do add the Atmo speakers. I have an older Aragon 8008BB, but may use it to bi-amp my fronts. I’m replacing the Onkyo because of a failed HDMI output and noisy...

I was doing some research on aiming the ceiling speakers and found this. http://www.acousticfrontiers.com/dolby-atmos-dispersion-requirements-for-ceiling-speakers/ In one of the replies, he comments on how a sloped ceiling helps with the front ceiling speakers. It the ceiling were flat, the...

I’m sorry, but I’m still confused. If speakers are mounted on the ceiling, which way should the speakers be pointed? Straight down, towards the listener?

Atmos is new to me so please forgive my ignorance. My understanding is there are two options 1) mount the speakers overhead or 2) mount the speakes low and reflect the sound off the ceiling. If I’m mounting the speaker in the ceiling and can at least aim the tweeter at the listening spot, why...

Thanks for the reply. For clarification, are you against in-ceiling speakers because of the angles and recommending surface mounted speakers because they can be pointed at the listening position?

Thanks for the add. I’ll be receiving my new Marantz AV 8805 in a couple days. Right now I’m running a 5.1 but would like to add ceiling speakers for an Atmos setup. I have cathedral ceilings that start at 8’ and peak at 11’. Im looking for experience/advice on this setup. See attached photo.
