They look awesome Clinton! Did you think of putting a super reflective material on the ceiling like glass or something like that. You could use mirrors to find the exact spot where it hits the ceiling. The old trick of finding the first reflection off the side walls is to sit down and move a...

I am out of the rabbit hole. I have committed to mounting above the front R and L and above the rear R and L and tilting towards the seating position. I will let you know how it comes out. I purchased mounts that hold 20lbs and the speakers CM5s are a little over 11lbs. Everything is on the way...

Check this out at the 10 minute mark. One layout for all codecs.

Clinton you may have saved yourself a headache by not ceiling mounting them. Dolby has come round to copying the angle or height if you will of Auro. One set up or one speaker placement is good for all three codecs, Atmos, DTSX, and the best of the rest Auro. I was going to mount floorstander...

Malcolm what model AVR is the Denon? Something doesn't sound right to me. I want to read the owners manual. You maybe can run a signal out of a pre amp output to an external amp for expansion.

Putting holes in the ceiling is something not to worry about. You can patch them super cheap with all purpose compound. It comes pre-mixed in a small tub, and it is dirt cheap.Comes out like peanut butter, just use a putty knife and spread it over the hole dry and paint done. As far as the...

Do the dogs stay in the room when you watch a movie? Or do they not like the sound, and get scared? Let us know how you like the setup after some listening time please. And congrats, and enjoy!!

Maybe she is related some how to my wife??

It's called control Malcolm.

What I have gathered is if it is a hard smooth surface you are good to go.

Please do some research on reflective surfaces to put on the ceiling. Dolby is so lame on the R+D. I am sure they know what reflects best for upward firing speakers. I wish they would just help everyone with the information they already have researched.

I fully agree John. The best way to see the best is try all. Do you still have the joices in the ceiling showing in your basement or did you do a drop ceiling? I read an article from Dunleavy who used to make very good speakers, that the ceiling should have beams to breakup reflections and add...

Make sure you post your results for us all. Hope it is satisfying for you. Elac has a great reputation and I'm sure you will be pleased.

Sometimes not worth the bother. There is so many variables. Dolby says to use absorption panels and diffusion witch just scatters the energy so the time arrival doesn't interfere with the original signal. The absorption panels take a lot of high frequencies out and not low so they act like an...

https://www.dolby.com/us/en/technologies/dolby-atmos/dolby-atmos-home-theater-installation-guidelines.pdf I would agree but upward firing will still give a good sound in your case. Read pg. 9-12 on this link.

Happy 4 you. Yes I got an Anthem P5 Statement, and an Anthem AVM60. Got the amp used, 5 yrs old, for half price. AVM new full price. System speakers all ADS L1290/2s, built center channel to match, factory out of business. Using 2 Nikko Alpha 440s to power 4 ADS L300s. In process of swapping out...

That's not hodge podge equipment. UniQ is sooo phase coherent know wonder you are amazed. KEF is one of the finest speaker companies there is. Almost wrote the book.

I will let you know. I would strongly suggest you go with down firing speakers on ceiling as long as dispersion is very wide or brackets allow swinging all directions to aim at seating position. It will sound best. Good luck on your pursuit.

There is some cases where this gets done. I will post a link that explains adding more speakers. It is from Dolby in pdf. I am a little crazy so I am going to have all 9 speakers the same. Full range and I built a center channel box and used the same drivers and crossovers as the other 8...
