Has anyone setup an atmos receiver + overhead speakers? My question is about the type of speakers that are sitting on top of the main speakers firing upwards, the sound reflecting from the ceiling and coming down - namely, is the effect adequate? This is the alternative to actual ceiling mounted speakers which are kind of involved to install.
Some background: atmos is a newish standard that replaces traditional 5.1 channel audio, in the sense that it removes the notion of a channel in the source stream - instead sounds objects are used , which are then positioned in the 3d space. The actual output channels count may be arbitrary, for example 24 although 11 is a typically used config : depends on the atmos decoder/receiver. New blue ray and some netflix titles support this format.
