Game of thrones is also pretty awesome to watch in ATMOS.

hdmkv, good choice on speakers and good idea about doing it right. what are your placement plans if you mind me asking?

[Skank]

those speakers have aimable tweeters? that would be my choice too

[hdmkv]

Yes, aimable tweeters .

@dukester, re: placement, it will be like pic @Shank posted in post #21, in ceiling, w/tweeters pointed toward main seating area.

@movie78, thanks for that great list of movies. I need to build my 'Gravity' 3D w/ATMOS from 2D disc as well !

Do have a question though, and maybe more as I start to set-up next week. Below is plan for connecting Yamaha to my Pioneer VSX-822. It's what the Yamaha FAQ site suggests. But, what volume do I leave the Pioneer at? Midway between zero and max?

[movie78]

I leave my 2CH system at MAX, try to leave at MAX then do the YPAO room correction.

And hopefully deadpool now

I hope Deadpool come in ATMOS or DTS:X in 3D, but chances are it will release in 4K only with DTS:X or ATMOS, at least that is what the trends are going these days

BD specs are out, no 3D, and no Atmos, just DTS-HD 7.1

All the immersive audio are only getting release in UHD Bluray

Ya I was hoping it wasn't true also. That's some serious BS.

It's BS, I was willing to purchase UHD Blu-ray player until I saw the price tag $400
I hope the PS4.5 will support UHD Blu-ray or if someone can crack the AACS 2.0 protection.

PS 4.5? im feeling seriously ripped of, just bought a ps4 !!!!!!!!!!

[hdmkv]

Sucks as RedFox doesn't seem any further along w/UHD BD.

So, finally aboard the ATMOS and DTS:X bandwagon... and it's awesome ! Honestly hadn't expected height audio to have that much impact, coming from an already nice 7.1 set-up, but it indeed does. It's more immersive, and what I particularly love about the new audio formats is the pinpoint placement of audio and effects at specific spots 360-degrees around you. Have mostly tested ATMOS and X samples so far, but love it. Haven't tested enough, but so far, ATMOS seems marginally better than X.

Some pics of my install and finished set-up here.

Was a PITA though as my HT is in the basement, so had to cut drywall, drill holes through studs in difficult spots, fish speaker wires through, repair and finally set-up. Took 3-4 days, off and on. Also, setting up main Yamaha 3050 AVR w/second Denon AVR to driver fronts in 7.1.4 was bang-your-head-in-the-wall affair for a couple of hours. I was getting no audio from the second AMP... then, finally figured it out: the CD input was set to HDMI, and had to be changed to accept analog! Duh!

Thankfully, Yamaha's YPAO calibration, room correction set-up was a breeze !

Thanks for all the advise and suggestions in the thread.

Congrats dude!
Btw, I urgently recommend you to watch The Fifth Element Atmos version
