    In my rush to add overhead Atmos channels, I only just recently discovered side channels and how much more of a difference they can make

    Well, yeah, in a 5.1 system it's ideal for the surrounds to be slightly back, a few degrees. Just not too far and certainly not on the back wall.

    I have a 5.1 system in the living room, with an Atmos capable receiver, and my immediate impression when I added the receiver is that Atmos soundtracks definitely sound better.

    Absolutely! Side surrounds are extremely important. In fact, in a 5.1 system, the surrounds are supposed to be on the sides, not the rear. Then when you go to 7.1, you add the rear speakers.
