RE: the Atmos "experience" you can’t blame the speakers, the content, or the mix. If your experience sucks you can change it, now, easily.
I use "technology" to change a meh Atmos experience.
Speaker setup with dolby specs, auro-3d specs, or DTS-X specs? check.
Room measurements optimized with acoustic treatments and dsp? Check
Appropriate "upmixer" selected based on the content? Check and double check.
( If your upmixers are sub par check out Auro-3D, Dolby Surround, DTS-Neural X, Sony 360, THX Spatial Audio or legacy upmixers like Audyssey DSX and DTS-Neo-X. If you want more upmix profiles to choose from check out a Yamaha, or Onkyo products which have proprietary codecs. The Logic 16 upmixer from JBL and Arcam products is supposed to be wicked but I haven't tried))
For those of you who are "imagining" what it will be like one day to have an atmos system check out the other threads on atmos here. Or I guess you can keep making stuff up as you go along if you have nothing else to do 🙄
@thespeakerdude , in order to pass a "test" you would need to actually have a stereo. If you want advice about what to buy, please start a build thread. If not, please stop bothering people who actually own gear with your opinions which for all any one can tell, are just made up, cut and paste, from various websites.
