Everyone seems to be jumping onto the Dolby Atmos wagon but from my reading here I gather the only way to get it is to add a pair of proper up-firing DA speakers (or in-ceiling speakers).
I live in a rented flat so in-ceiling is a no go and as I have limited space, I do not have floor standers but rather smaller book-shelf 5.1 speakers (LCR and RL/RR). My fronts are located on top shelf of TV stand and I am happy with the sound in movies (Dolby Surround and DTS:X).
The only affordable options I can find are Onkyo SKH-410. I gather that these need to be positioned above ground level (I have no space on TV stand) so will I have to put them on stands?
Can these be positioned behind the TV or should they be level with my LCR speakers?
Last question - is Atmos worth this hassle or would I be better off adding two bigger L and R speakers to go from 5.1 to 7.1 (I feel like I am not fully using my AVR)?
