I recently upgraded my front speakers (LR&C) to Monitor Audio Silvers and am now wondering what I can do to improve the back. My room is 2.5m wide and the sofa is pushed back against the rear wall so no room for speakers on stands. My current rears are JBL N24s mounted high up.
I have been experimenting with Atmos using the Onkyo up firing speakers I got with the receiver and the results are less than impressive. I am not sure if it is the fault of the onkyos or the fact I have my rears so high, but the soundstage just sounds very confused . So I thought I should try sorting out the rears before going any further with Atmos.
How can I lower the rears when they are so close to the listening position, would Bi-poles be the answer? I have read somewhere you cant use BiPoles in an Atmos setup, so should I drop the idea of an Atmos future and just get 5.1 as good as I can?
I have included a pic to show how little room I have to play with.
thanks
