Looking for some advice please folks...
I'm thinking about upgrading my amp to a newer one and to add a few more speakers to create an Atmos setup. I'm looking at higher end amps, so work on the assumption that they will be able to push a 5.1.4 setup as a minimum. (new amp thread here for anyone interested)
I've currently got a 5.1 setup, which is:
- Front LCR - Monitor Audio Radius HD 270's
- Rears - Monitor Audio Radius HD 45's
- Sub - REL T1
I've also got a pair of MA Radius HD 90's which I could potentially add to make it a 7.1.x setup, but as you can see from my pics, my lounge layout could make this pretty difficult. The only place I could mount them is on the side wall, just in front of the rears, which is far from ideal.
I'd look to add either 1 or 2 pairs of ceiling speakers for Atmos height effects - any recommendations for these taking into consideration my existing speakers?
Also, what about placement for the height speakers as they would have to fit amongst the spotlights.
Room dimensions (within soundstage) are 3.70m (TV to back wall), 4.5m curtains to side wall (on left of pic) and 2.20m in height. The room is much longer, as you can see in the rough sketch, but not useable from a soundstage perspective.
Front speakers are 2.3m apart, rears are 3.3m apart.
Thanks as always
