Atmos Height Speaker Height...How High?

So you going to use the IRS setup for HT? Upgrade? How is it you're upgrading, I don't understand? You want to ADD Atmos, it is NOT an upgrade, in stereo sound by any means. Kinda the opposite, to tell the truth.

The 22 foot ceiling, and just about everything else, Atmos will try to correct, one way or the other... Just the nature of the beast...

I currently have a 7.1 home theater setup.
I’d like to add four height channels to take advantage of the new Atmos codec.

My 2 channel system is totally separate from my home theater.

The distance will need to be addressed via your choice of height speakers, processor capabilities, and amplification power, but I don't see why the height should completely rule it out given you have a large room. Especially as it seems like you sit a similar distance from your main speakers.
