I've only been using this 7.1.4 Atmos system for a few days, but I'd say that it is a massive mind-blowing change moving from 5.1 music to Atmos music. I find that 5.1 music allows one to hear things in “dense” music that might be difficult to hear clearly when in stereo. But I don’t see that happening for a while. But with ceilings like that one can always mount speakers on the front wall and back wall as the Atmos height speakers. It is very tall (over the 14’ Atmos limit) and is also peaked so no reflective Atmos speakers will work. I too have a ceiling that makes Atmos difficult. ![]() But so far I like the larger sound-space it seems to create. Maybe once more Atmos titles are available I'll be more motivated to upgrade.I just shifted over to 7.1 but am still tinkering with placement. Every once in a while I consider going to 7.1 (from 5.1) but lose interest once I start trying to figure out where to put the speakers. So, I have limited space and limited spots to mount speakers. The area behind the sofa is open (thus a loft) and the area to the right is open to the rest of the room. It's up in a third floor loft so the space is limited and the ceiling is a trapezoid shape. ![]() The problem I have with Atmos is the layout of the room I have my home theater in. I bought one of the first reference players when it came out. I've been into 5.1 music ever since DVD-Audio was introduced.
