Heather, if you can’t add ceiling speakers there are a lot of options in upfiring speakers. You’ll wonder how you got along without it!Thank you for the reviews - I've had an older Integra DTC 9.8 Pre/Pro,
working great for 8 years, with excellent standalone amps and speakers, 7.1 mode,
and was thinking it might be time to upgrade the "head" of our system.
Integra's DHC-60.7 looks like one to watch!
Of course, the DTC 9.8 was 2 years old when I bought it and greatly discounted ...
I'm not looking for retail-like prices now - I can wait.
That explains it. Thank you.Got it from a buddy in the industry.
Weird, I never said a word about “can’t add ceiling speakers”. No idea what triggered that!Heather, if you can’t add ceiling speakers there are a lot of options in upfiring speakers. You’ll wonder how you got along without it!
We agree on more than we disagree. You couldn't be more wrong here twiiii. I think if you had a better understanding of object based surround formats, it would hit you like a Dynavector cartridge ...If we could all mount our rear and side speakers high up like they do in theaters we wouldn't need the Atmos ceiling speakers. plus our ears are. on either side of our heads and not one on top and one under our chin so we can't really discern over head sounds critically like we can sounds spread in front of us at ear height. I have heard atmosphere, its just another gimmick like analog Quad to get you to replace your electronics and buy a new speaker system. Reminds me of 3D TV.
Hearing is believing. I have found Dolby Atmos to be a significant improvement over 5.1 or 7.1 just as either of those two formats were over 2.0....In my space, I can demo any 5.1 format vs Dolby Atmos and the difference is night and day. People are amazed. The recurring response I get is - that's better than any theater I've ever been to!
Kent - I don't think any of us have any idea what that even is . . . but it sounds interesting.For me, nothing in movies beats 6 track magnetic analog sound. 70 mm widescreen beats LieMax. I'd rather "Be In The Show With Todd-AO"

All good - not uncommon for me to turn off my 205 and switch on my 909 ... Or vice versa.Todd AO was named after Mike Todd, Liz Taylor's 3rd husband - if that helps!
Todd-AO is also the name of the widescreen, 70 mm film format that was developed by Mike Todd and the American Optical Company in the mid-1950s.
Todd-AO had been founded to promote and distribute this system.
1950's tech is a throwback in a discussion of ATMOS ...
I am finally getting my projector, screen and 6 in ceiling speakers installed next week!
I wanted to join this conversation because I am so close to getting to experience this. I am finally getting my projector, screen and 6 in ceiling speakers installed next week! Now I need to buy and Atmos AVR. Anyway, my question is how do most of you have it set up and how many speakers are you running? So my set up will consist of the front l/c/r, 2 overhead speakers in the middle of the room and 4 overhead speakers in the rear, 2 placed in line with my couch and two behind the listener off to the left and right. So how should I set it up? To run 7.1 with 2 overhead Atmos speakers? Or 5.1 with 4 over head Atmos speakers?
